When a four-time stunt riding world champion 'almost became a Pakistani'

In a video that has garnered more than 18 thousand views in less than 24 hours on Facebook, Redbull recalls the time a four-time Stuntriding World and European Champion visited Pakistan.

Pfeiffer arrived for his tour of Pakistan on April 16, 2013 to perform in three cities – Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad – and put on a show for the country’s stunt biking fans.

However, this video brings back more than the stunning glimpses of Pfieffer’s performance, it shows Pfieffer discovering Pakistan the way everyone should.



“I didn’t know much about Pakistan,” Pfieffer says in the video.

“It was a quick decision to say I want to go to Pakistan, to learn something about Pakistan and to see the real Pakistan,” he adds.

Pfieffer also talks about his love for Pakistani truck art.

“I’ve fallen in love with truck and truck art over here,” “It’s amazing” he says as he watches a local painting designs on a truck.

Joking about ‘no breaks’ as he test drives a three-wheeler in Karachi, he adds “ Now I’m almost Pakistani”



Pfieffer can be seen trying out the kurta shalwar in the video and exploring the historical sights of Lahore. The video ends with some more remarkable glimpses from Pfieffer’s performance and his praise for the hospitality shown by Pakistanis.

"I’m proud to be the first international stunt rider who visited Pakistan. The crowd reaction is great here… people treat me very nice… it can be a really nice place to be.”

Pfeiffer’s love affair with the sport began 16 years ago, with trial biking and he believes it is the best base for a stunt rider.
