Bravery is a trait that Asylum does not boast. In fact, some might say we're cowards. We can accept that -- we've been known to bottle out of the Nemesis, at Alton Towers, seconds before getting on. So when we received this footage of Mark Vos and Boy Janssen cycling down a building in Rotterdam on their BMX bikes (that's right, "cycling down a building") we were literally lost for words.
Fortunately, we snapped out of it and managed to type this post out so you can be similarly amazed. Stick with this footage as although it starts at a slow pace things soon get oh-my-God great, as our protagonists serve up a cycling stunt the likes of which has never been seen.
Check it out after the jump then let us know what you think: is it real or is it fake? Vote in our poll - it's your God given right, man. People with big moustaches died for that right.

This building was used in a scence from a Jackie Chan movie, i forget which one exactly but he slid down the incline, so i think they probably did ride down it, as for the landing, im not so sure as there is a camera cut, and the angle at which they land is different. pretty cool none the less.

How do you spell GULLIBLE , Gary. It has to be faked , note the camera cut before the "landing "

FAKE, Looking at the drop at the end of the video there is no way you can jump off that on a BMX and land safely.
And lol at the lame landing, I didn't beleive it for a second.

Maybe YOU spell it GULLIBLE, if you had read my comment properly you would have noticed that I said the landing was all off, with the camera cut and the angle, I just said that it does look like they ride down the building, not that they landed at the bottom, ergo, I am saying it was faked.

Its got to be fake . The Jackie Chan comment is so dumb. Have you never seen a "how they made it " bit after a movie ? It is done with cuts , outtakes and stuntmen . This is faked .

completely fake the force hitting the ground would of killed them at the least smashed their bikes to bits and really seriously injured them.

at first i thought it was true, but if u pause it at the end and look at the last drop, ull see that theres no way someone could fall that far on a bmx, they would snap in half, both the bike and the person. pretty tastey tho :)

Thats at least a 4 storey drop from the building to the pavement. I'd say fake

The drop at the end of the incline is at least 5 Floors - about 20 to 25 metres - they would be seriously injured if not dead and their bikes would be trashed completely - definately false

I am sure it wasn't faked,because I tried it last year on my skateboard,it acually looks a lot harder than it is - although I did graze my knee on landing.
P.S It was the same knee I hurt when I fell off the top of the Empire State Building.
