The Border Security Force of India sure knows how to put on quite a display of motorcycle prowess. Rather than the usual two-wheel stunts of death-defying jumps through burning hoops or dangerous high-speed maneuvers, these folks are masters of the art of stacking a whole lot of people on top a bike, sometimes with multiple cycles riding abreast.

The display was part of the Republic Day Parade in India, and President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama were on hand to watch the team’s exhibition of balance. Things start off fairly simple with just a guy standing on a long Royal Enfield as it rolls down the parade grounds. However, like any good show, the riders rapidly up the stakes until there are multiple people perched high in the air.
