Na YouTube nájdeme aj celé priehrštie všakovakých prapodivných projektov či prerábok. Niektoré z nich využívajú zaujímavé koncepty, no v praxi sú často v podstate nepoužiteľné alebo možno až nebezpečné. Do takejto kategórie domácich prerábok pre kaskadérov môžeme pokojne zaradiť aj najnovší projekt, s ktorým sa pochválil známy kutil Colin Furze.
Of course, it can’t be assumed that you’ll find similar bikes in every other bike shop now. Rather, it currently looks like a single specimen of its kind.
