Skateboarder tumbles while copying Marty McFly’s cling-on-to-a-car stunts in Back to the Future
A THRILL-SEEKER tumbles while copying skateboarding Marty McFly’s cling-to-a-car stunts in Back to the Future.
He held on to a motor to get pulled along, just like Michael J. Fox in the 1985 sci-fi hit — but it ended quickly.
Graham Hunt, who saw the daredevil alongside a pal’s Mazda in West Bay, Dorset, said: “I saw this car driving up and down the prom when I realised there was someone hanging off the side of it.
"He was probably going at about 15mph and managed two runs along the promenade before falling over.
"He took a big old tumble but obviously he knew how to fall because he bounced back up pretty quickly.
"The driver got out to check on him but he didn't look too hurt by it.

"Seeing him fall off was pretty farcical to be honest."
In one Back to the Future scene, Marty McFly is trying to make it to school on time after oversleeping by riding on the coat tails of a passing car to the soundtrack The Power of Love by Huey Lewis.
A second stunt involves McFly on an old-fashioned skateboard fleeing from a car driven by Biff. Just as he is about to be mown down he grabs hold of a 1950s motor to get away.
