The highway is 10.4 kilometre long and has 47 treacherous corners, it called as the Crown Range. New Zealand officials have closed the entire highway for a special shoot in which Mad Mike will push his machine and skill to the limit.

The video may feel like a gameplay, however, it is genuine and real rubber was burnt in shooting this video. If he makes an error he will be off the mountain and nothing can be done to save him from a life threatening accident. So check the video and find out if Mad Mike could Conquer The Crown.
