Thanks everyone for their comments.

I am impressed to see that even at that time, this stuntman used full protective gear and the stunts were properly organized as well...

[tilsim]

@nomicool, its a good thread, its impressive to see people having such passion.

and yeah, he wasn't the only professional in paki, there were others as well, umm can't recall all of them now, but there was this kamran guy, i saw him live in fortress, he successfully jumper over 25 cars in practice run, but failed in the real show, crashed on 23rd car, broke the backbone and died on his way to hospital in the ambulance.

there was this other group that used to perform stunts professionally, they even even made a pyramid of guys, like 15 guys on top of one another, on 5 bikes. like 5,4,3,2,1.. and many others.. dig more, you may find there videos as well..

[Temojin]

The reverse jump was so clean. A true legend. And those were the days when nation's spirit was always sky high.

[fawi]

[nomicool]

Thanks for your input everyone

And dont know what happened to the army team that used to perform those pyramid formation on bikes...

But Sultan Golden stands out from the rest of the lot!

[nomicool]

And yes...the spirit of the audience was really great and they cheered whole heartedly for this legend always...and you can see in many videos people chanting Mashallah Subhanallah while he's making his run towards the ramp to perform some jump.

And then he attracted even our ruling elite and the rulers from UAE to see his stunts! Great man...he should be financed to try to attempt the world record for the longest reverse drive, as mentioned in one of his press conferences.

[jetslam]
