From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Most people might believe that jobs can't get much more exhilarating than being a professional BMX rider, but for Daniel Dhers even a stationary ramp has lost its thrill.
Instead, the 28-year-old Venezuelan rider has taken his extreme sport to a whole new level by attempting to ride a half-pipe - on the back of a moving truck.
The footage shows Dhers minding his own business on the streets of Peru, when he just happens to see a truck with two ramps on the back conveniently edge alongside him.
Realising that he can ride the truck, we soon see the five-time X-Games gold medallist displaying his range of flips and swivels, wowing the gathered crowds as he travels through the capital city Lima.
Following in the footsteps of Felix Baumgartner's freefall from space, this is another example from Red Bull of how a public stunt can be used as a... publicity stunt.
