Professional dirt bike rider Cody Elkins spiced up this year’s 'Cameron Air Show' in Missouri. He took part in a stunt that can make pretty much make anybody cringe.

The impressive stunt involved a small biplane flying almost sideways, close to the ground when Elkins cruised up a ramp on his dirt bike. He soared far above the aircraft and managed to land on a ramp on the other side.

Skip Stewart, who is an aerobatic and commercial pilot, collaborated with Elkins to pull off the stunt. For the past decade, the pair has discussed the jump and managed to do it about a dozen times in the past.

Although it’s certainly an impressive trick, Stewart and Elkins have a difficult time finding air show promoters who will allow them to perform, due to the danger. Elkins, however, says Stewart’s skills operating a plane greatly lessen the danger.

He remarked “At first, it looks kind of scary and people don't know if it will hit me. But once you see how much control he has on the machine - he's super talented - it's just a matter of me doing my job and it's no worries at all.”
