No Comment Nr. 4

This edition of no comment shows us a video presented by Moe Sorrell which shows a biker making one of the most daring stunts on a bridge- a historic arch bridge. This video has produced a wide array of reactions from viewers, stemming from “Wow!!” to “This is a new form of stupid!” to the German expression “Hast du eine Maise?!!” (Have you gone completely mad?!! in English).

I will give this biker credit, even though I would NOT recommend doing this at home: At least he wore a helmet and some protection gear. 😉

My question for the forum: Where is this bridge located?
