Dirt biker does the limbo

Motorbike riders are renowned for their low-slung cornering, particularly the world's best MotoGP racers.

But UK dirt bike guru Alan Birtwistle has arguably topped them all after producing a stunning, gravity-defying effort to slide his way around a corner and slip under a high limbo bar.

Competing at the recent Dirt Quake IV event in the UK, Birtwistle showed amazing skill and flexibility as he successfully blasted underneath a 1m-high limbo bar.

He got so low his handlebars ground on the speedway track, sending up plumes of sparks during a string of successful attempts.

The brilliant riding had fans at Adrian Flux arena in raptures and beggars the question how does he go on the dance floor?

Pretty low if his riding is anything to go by.
