Homemade Wall of Death - and other stunts

Colin Furze is a plumber from Lincolnshire and in his spare time he makes videos of his stunts and uploads them to YouTube.

He started six years ago by posting a video of him and his friends going through a car wash with the windows open.  Shortly after that he posted a slightly more ambitious project - a massive, homemade wall of death - which he then ran round inside in a scooter.

Over the past few years he's built the world's fastest mobility scooter, the worlds longest motorbike, revved a car engine to destruction - with the cylinders exposed -  and got into trouble with the police by riding round on a scooter with flames shooting out from the back.

Here are our favourite films from Colin.  You can find his YouTube channel here.
