Greg Tracey beats Tanner Foust at the Hot Wheels Double Loop Dare at LA's X Games last weekend.
United States thrillseekers achieved something over the weekend that the mad little kids in all of us wish they could do.
At the X Games in Los Angeles, Top Gear USA presenter and drift champion Tanner Foust and motorbike stuntman Greg Tracy pulled off a real-life Hot Wheels loop.
The
bright orange, six-story double loop structure was an extreme PR stunt put together by Hot Wheels maker Mattel.
With Foust representing the Yellow Team, and Tracy the Green Team, the two went side-by-side at the event, held near the LA Lakers' Staples Centre home in downtown Los Angeles.
Three time X Games gold medallist Foust was beaten by Bourne trilogy stuntman Tracy in the mad stunt, which meant hitting the loops at 83km/h and a gut-wrenching seven Gs as they rocketed out the other side.
