Vittorio Brumotti

Born in Finale Ligure to a Ligurian father and a Calabrian mother and currently living in Milan; at eleven years of age Brumotti began to practice bike trials.

On 6 December 2008, at the Bologna Motor Show, he passed 28 bars with the rear wheel of his bicycle and on 17 May 2009 in Sardinia he dived from 17 meters with his bike into the waters in front of the Bue Marino caves in Cala Gonone.

Shortly after he returned to Sardinia for a new record: on the top of the natural spire of Punta Caroddi, a peak about 150 meters above sea level, he performed 71 jumps on the rear wheel alone.

In the same year he was awarded the Premio alla voce contro lo spreco (prize for voice against waste) at the ninth edition of the Leggio d'oro.
