He called the experience “one of the scariest things” he's ever done: Scottish BMX pro Kriss Kyle just released a video showing him jump over a speeding F1 car on his bike. The driver of said F1 car was none other than motorsports legend and former Red Bull Racing driver and fellow Scot, David Coulthard.
To pull off the jump, Kyle had to be able to jump high enough, and get the timing perfect so that the RB7 could drive underneath him as Kyle's in the air.
