Frenchman Julien Dupont is a legend in the motorcycle trials world. But sometimes, he just wants to have a little fun. So what does he do? He arranges for Red Bull to get him access to the Montaña Rusa, a famous wooden roller coaster in Mexico City. At one time, the Montaña Rusa was the tallest roller coaster in the world. Now, the 3/4-mile-long attraction is Dupont’s personal playground. Watch as he powers up the ramps, wheelies across sections, and does backflips. Yes, backflips on a roller coaster. Check it out below.

Troy's been riding motorcycles and writing about them since 2006, getting his start at Rider Magazine. From there, he moved to Sport Rider Magazine before finally landing at Motorcycle.com in 2011. A lifelong gearhead who didn't fully immerse himself in motorcycles until his teenage years, Troy's interests have always been in technology, performance, and going fast. Naturally, racing was the perfect avenue to combine all three. Troy has been racing nearly as long as he's been riding and has competed at the AMA national level. He's also won multiple club races throughout the country, culminating in a Utah Sport Bike Association championship in 2011. He has been invited as a guest instructor for the Yamaha Champions Riding School, and when he's not out riding, he's either wrenching on bikes or watching MotoGP.
