Everyone knows Red Bull is far from an energy drink company, but putting your finger on what the company does today. Is it an F1 team? Is it the sponsor of action sports events and athletes? Or is it more of a content media powerhouse? You could argue that it's all three, but I think it's equally as fair to call it an 'innovator' or a 'pusher' in the power sports industry stunt industry.
The latest stunt from Red Bull involves freestyle motocross rider Luc Ackermann, and it's hard to imagine a better rider for this stunt. Ackermann is the youngest rider to ever land a backflip, which he did in 2010 at just 12 years old. By 2017, just ahead of his 20th birthday, he became the youngest rider to land a double backflip. Then, in 2020, he completed 10 backflips in 30 seconds, which surpassed Travis Pastrana's long-standing record by two backflips.
So, is there a better man on the planet to execute a Tsunami backflip between two moving trucks with a barrier in between? Probably not, but that doesn't mean this was easily done—far from it.
