Kenny Belaey's Balance (source YouTube video still)Video: Kenny Belaey rides on a slackline - more than 100 metres above the ground
Multiple UCI trials world champion Kenny Belaey has pulled off what may be his most spectacular stunt yet - riding a slackline over a drop of more than 100 metres in the French Alps.
The 32-year-old Belgian, who is sponsored by Red Bull, spent a year planning the stunt and six months in training for the ride at La Plagne.
As you can see in the video, both bike and rider are tethered to the slackline for safety reasons - keep watching till the outtakes that accompany the closing credits and you'll see why.
Here's the 'Making of ... ' video to show exactly how it was done.
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.
