A professional motorbike stuntman backflipped over a 23-metre wide gap between two barges floating on the River Thames in London. It was the first-ever motorcycle backflip over the River Thames.

(Seorang pemeran pengganti sepeda motor profesional melakukan jungkir balik di antara dua tongkang di sungai Thames London. Ini adalah pertama kalinya sebuah sepeda motor jungkir balik di atas sungai Thames.)

After the successful stunt, the daredevil, Travis Pastrana, said that this was one of his most nerve-wracking stunts, as he had to deal with so many variables out of his control. The weather was fine, though, the boat had dried up, and he had no traction issues. He was blown a little to the right, but he managed to land almost spot on.

(Setelah aksi itu berhasil, sang pemberani, Travis Pastrana, mengatakan bahwa itu adalah aksi yang paling mendebarkan baginya, karena banyak faktor di luar kendalinya. Cuaca saat itu bagus, namun,kapal itu sangat kering, dan dia tidak punya penarik. Dia terlempar sedikit terlalu ke kanan, namun dia berhasil mendarat hampir tepat di yang pas.)

Kata-kata sulit: stuntman (pemeran pengganti), barge (kapal tongkang), daredevil (pemberani), traction (penarik), issue (masalah), spot on (tepat).
