Red Bull has used one of its extreme sports stars to illustrate just how steep the infamous Eau Rou𓆉ge section of the Spa-Francorchamps circuit really is.

When UK Formula One broadcaster BBC wanted to demonstrate just how sharp the incline climbing to the highest point of the Belgian layout is, ⭕Red Bull provided a local skateboarder prepared to tackle the section - in reverse, naturally.

As a result, 15-year old Axel Cruysberghs, crowned as European skateboard champion just two weeks ago despite sporting a broken wrist, found himself tearing down the slope towards the 𒈔support pits, reaching 26mph in the process. In all, the youngster made two runs, attracting a crowd early on Friday evening.
