Bike trial champion faces radical challenge on bridge in Brazil and goes viral (Instagram @diegomagnotrials)
The South American bike trial champion, Diego Magno, 33, faced a new radical challenge on a railway bridge in Brazil, which went viral on social media with over 12 million views.
With a career of eight Brazilian champion titles, Diego has been practicing trial since he was 10 years old and is used to pushing his limits. However, he acknowledges the risk of this activity, emphasizing that a mistake in such situations can be fatal.
The task required a lot of technique, balance, and psychological control. Diego balanced himself on the metal structure of the bridge, reaching the top above a river, and instead of simply descending, he decided to spin 180° in an extremely tight space. The strong wind, psychological pressure, and vibrations caused by trucks passing on the other bridge nearby intensified the challenge. The descent also required advanced braking control skills to avoid losing control of the bike.
To ensure his safety, Diego prepared mentally and physically, as he did in other previous adventures, such as performing stunts on top of a tower over 100 meters high in another Brazilian city. He explained that despite the fear and adrenaline involved, what motivates him is the passion for the sport and the unique feeling of overcoming, which is hard for him to describe.
