A new extreme and illegal sport, known as train surfing, has become the latest craze among teens and 20-somethings in Russia’s capital, Moscow.
Participants ride at the side or on top of moving carriages, holding on with their hands or a safety belt.
Train surfer Andrey Malyshev said: ‘People sky dive or climb mountains, we ride trains on the outside. Certainly there is a certain risk, but we plan all our steps. We know trains very well.’
