Walls - Bas Keep video still via Red Bull.PNGVideo: Amazing skills as BMX ace Bas Keep rides down walls
Brighton and Croydon are among the locations featured in a new video from British BMX ace Bas Keep and his sponsors Red Bull in which he rides his bike down the sides of buildings.

The climactic jump in Croydon is something else altogether - there's a 20-foot gap between the bridge and the wall, with a vertical drop of around 35 feet.
As this 'making-of' video explains, that was one location that had been scouted through Google Earth, and also the one to which Keep was at greatest risk of serious injury.
