Trying to change your front tire but don’t have a stand to lift your bike? No problem! All you need are the proper tools, a truck, and a friend who’s really good at performing wheelies.

At least, that’s what we got out of this video comes from Wetten, Dass..?, a German variety show featuring people performing some pretty difficult and bizarre tasks.

For this challenge, two stunt riders and a support crew on a truck swap out the front wheel on a BMW F800R while performing a wheelie down a long runway.

Easy, no?

    What'll these kids think of next? Looks like a pilot for another purposeless reality show.though they might be able to use this on the IOM where pit stops are necessary.
