STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Usually when car is speeding towards you at 130km/h things can end up in disaster, unless you're a professional stuntman.

Ousseyni Issa Gobitaca, known as Al the Jumper and is well known for his crazy stunts, performs an incredibly feat of vehicular lunacy by leaping over a Lamborghini Gallardo.

He explains that when a sports car is travelling at 90km/h he leaps when it's about four metres away. Increase the speed by 40km/h to 130 km/h and he needs to adapt his jump to gain enough air time for the car to pass underneath.

AND FOR MY NEXT TRICK...

He jumps on to a box a metre off the ground and it's these practice jumps that pave the way for him to leap above the Gallardo.

Before the stunt, he warms-up with squat jumps and weights. It's marvelous to watch an "athlete" perform such a feat.  Al's ultimate triumph is to jump over two cars at the same time.....we can't wait to see him do that!
