Handlebar wheelie: Stunt rider Jonny Davies breaks world speed record for wheelie

Stunt rider Jonny Davies has broken the world speed record for an usual kind of wheelie.

It's called a handlebar wheelie - where the rider puts his feet over the handlebars while lifting his front wheel.

It's mega-dangerous and Jonny is a professional who spent ages learning to do this - so don't try it at home!

After months of training he got up to 109.2 miles per hour - beating the world record by just 1 mile per hour. Afterwards he said he could go EVEN faster - woah!
