Do acrobats and parkour performers like cars? I don’t think they’d dedicate too much time to them, since they spend countless hours per week using their bodies to move in unconventional ways. But we have a theory that all men love cool cars, even when they don't have a driver's license.
However, Mazda UK decided the “energy, character and vitality” of the new Mazda2 supermini can find common grounds with some of the country’s most unconventional performers.
The car can be equipped with numerous safety systems, but none of them can make these stunts any less dangerous. With a flat platform firmly attached to the roof of the Mazda, several athletes try to perform their trademark acrobatic skills in the most uncomfortable place in their careers, nearly two meters off the ground.
We’ve literally never seen anybody do these tricks before. For instance, one professional skateboarder succeeds in grinding across a rail mounted on the roof of the car. A pair of professional acrobalancers tries a handstand, which looks seriously dangerous.
However, our personal favorite is the one where a break dancer does his windmill spins and stands on the Mazda2.
Will this help Mazda sell more cars? We don’t know, but supermini we tested a few months ago was just as athletic as these young gentlemen. It’s probably the most fun-to-drive model in the segment, while also offering more class and comfort than the predecessor. It's not perfect, but it can have a red interior and carbon fiber accents, and that's all we can ask for.
