Following up on yesterday’s French rail speed record, reader Randy offers this challenge:
That’s a fast train, but is it too fast to surf it?
Huh? That’s right: trainsurfing. Extreme transportation!
Check out this video of a kid who rides caboose on an ICE high-speed train in Germany. He actually rides on the sloped back of the train as it speeds along. (Cheesy soundtrack, but quite a video.)
Madness!
(Thanks to reader Randy!)
