WATCH: Red Bull's latest bizarre stunt lifts off

In addition to running an Uber-successful Formula 1 team, down the years, Red Bull have pulled off some rather impressive stunts.

There was the time they backed Felix Baumgartner who jumped from the edge of space back to terra firma or the time they done a pitstop in zero G to celebrate setting a new world record time.

Anyhow, they might set have set a new benchmark with craziness involving a BMX bike and a lot of hot air, a lot.

Aston Martin boss Mike Krack has dismissed any concerns over the recent four-week gap in the F1 calendar having an impact on the team's momentum.
