Since 2013, Lezito has been taking part in stunt riding world championships, with what she considers her greatest achievement in 2015. She had been the only girl among 75 riders and even finished up in 9th place.
Word of her talent later made its way to Hollywood; her first film experience and she was already performing on a world stage as Scarlett Johansson’s stunt double in the mega blockbuster ‘The Avengers 2’.
Now, the video we are about to show you is Lezito’s guide on how to drift your motorcycle. According to the French woman, it is basically keeping the rear wheel spinning while balancing on your bike.
Of course, it will not be easy at first. But, as the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Lezito was not born into this world already fully armed with an arsenal of tricks - she had her fair share of practice (and injuries) too.
“For new tricks you still have to disconnect your brain for a few seconds, to forget that you can fall, and that is the hardest work. Just do it! Don’t care what people think about it. If you want, you can!” The stunt woman says.
