Dangerous TikTok challenge shows Scots BMX youth dodge buses
22.04.2022 - 15:59 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Footage has emerged on social media of Scottish BMX riders flirting with danger as part of a disgraceful new TikTok trend.
In the clip the young gilet-wearing rider pops a wheelie, riding his bike right up to the rear of a parked Lothian Bus on Edinburgh's Princes Street.
At the last second, he dramatically swerves out of the way of the bus and continues pedalling on his back wheel past the vehicle.
He comes dangerously close to tramlines - considered extremely dangerous for bicycles because of the risk of getting stuck - before pedalling towards another local bus and pulling the same move again.
The video has already gathered 300,000 views on TikTok, reports Edinburgh Live.
Over 10,000 people have "liked" the video, which is simply captioned: "Getting better."
The clip appears to be part of an emerging trend for "swerving" on the video sharing platform, which sees riders trying to get as close to an object as they can, before dramatically pulling their bikes out of the way.
The Record has found a number of other videos showing Edinburgh cyclists attempting wheelies and swerves on public roads among other road users.
The trend has recently become popular elsewhere in the UK too.
Several other clips have been shared showing riders dodging pedestrians, those filming the videos, and even policemen and security guards.
Users in the comments of the Edinburgh TikTok didn't seem too thrilled with the prospect of toying with the idea of getting run down or face-planting into the back of a bus, whilst others thought it was very entertaining.
Lothian Buses was contacted for comment.

Woman, 22, goes to gig 'not knowing anyone' - so gets concert goers to choose her a fella on dating app by chanting 'swipe right' or 'left'
A single student rallied a concert crowd to help her select a bloke on a dating app - holding her phone in the air so the whole venue could shout for her to swipe 'left' or 'right'. Megan Barlow was attending a performance of K-Pop artist Eric Nam at the O2 Ritz Manchester on April 12 when she let fellow concert-goers guide her selection of single men until they secured her a match on Bumble. The 22-year-old soon found herself having to explain the situation to one eligible bachelor chosen by the audience, although he immediately saw the humour in the unusual match-up. Videos of the stunt show the crowd yelling 'Left!' and 'Right!' to each potential suitor and erupting in cheers when they secure Megan a match. After she shared them online, many fans vowed to pull similar stunts when Eric Nam performed in their town. Although Megan uses Bumble casually and hasn't pursued any relationships with the bloke crowd-selected for her, the multimedia journalism student admits that her fellow music-lovers had 'good taste' in their selection.
