Russian daredevils ride a bike on top of a moving train
Two daredevils in Russia have risked their lives by riding a bicycle on the roof of a moving train.
The pair filmed themselves completing the dangerous stunt on a train passing through the town of Fryazino, near the Russian capital of Moscow.
The footage begins with the two young men climbing on the roof of the moving train from its rear, hauling a BMX-style bike up with them.
They then stand up and place the bike in the middle of the train and one of them attempts to ride it.
The stunt almost ends in disaster as the bike wobbles and causes the young man to fall off. But he somehow manages to stay on the train itself.
He eventually regains his composure and tries riding the bike agai n, handing it over to his friend to try afterwards.
The clip ends with the pair climbing back down from the roof of the train, taking the bicycle with them.
One of the amateur stuntmen, Roman Shirokov, said: 'Usually people are riding their bikes on the ground. This is boring for us, so we decided to jump on top of a suburban train.'Â

The video contains a shocking moment where the boy, pictured, loses his balance and falls off the bike. He looks back at the camera and laughs, sticking his tounge out. Luckily, he does not fall off the moving train
The film is proving popular with viewers on social media and video-sharing websites but the daredevils have been condemned by local residents and online commentators.
Internet user 'Svetlana Briz' said: 'These thrill-seekers want to be admired by teenagers. They don't realise children might try to repeat these dangerous so-called "heroic" stunts.'
Taking extreme risks, in what some would classify as sport, has become a bit of a notorious activity in Russia. Videos of life threatening stunts have widely been posted online as people summit dangerous urban heights in order to take an extreme selife.
The se ries of deaths that ensued caused the Russian Interior Ministry to launch a 'safe selfie' campaign.Â

The other daredevil takes his turn at stunt, pictured, riding the bike on top of a moving train in order to avoid the 'boredom' of riding on the ground. Many on social media say these boys have no brains
Roman Shirokov is one of the Russian daredevils and is pictured here riding a bike on top of a moving train at night. This seems even more dangerous than the stunt performed in the day
Regarding these boys and their bike, another social media user, 'dtgo dtgodtgo' said: 'If you do not care about yourself, at least try to care about your families.'
User 'slesarppr' also added: 'They have no brains, they simply do no know what thinking is.'
