Biography

Born in Finale Ligure to a Ligurian father and a Calabrian mother and currently living in Milan; at eleven years of age Brumotti began to practice bike trials.

He has entered the Guinness World Records ten times thanks to remarkable sporting achievements. On 6 December 2008, at the Bologna Motor Show, he passed 28 bars with the rear wheel of his bicycle and on 17 May 2009 in Sardinia he dived from 17 meters with his bike into the waters in front of the Bue Marino caves in Cala Gonone. Shortly after he returned to Sardinia for a new record: on the top of the natural spire of Punta Caroddi, a peak about 150 meters above sea level, he performed 71 jumps on the rear wheel alone.

His first record was presented to the program Lo show dei record hosted by Barbara D'Urso. In 2012 Vittorio Brumotti obtained the Guinness World Record for having climbed the Burj Khalifa, in Dubai, by bicycle, in exactly 2 hours and 20 minutes. In the same year he was awarded the Premio alla voce contro lo spreco (prize for voice against waste) at the ninth edition of the Leggio d'oro. In 2013, following in the footsteps of his colleague and friend Martyn Ashton, he changed his approach and invented the road bike freestyle, evolving towards riding a normal racing bike.

On 20 January 2018, to be able to escape unharmed from the Traiano district of Naples he had to be escorted by the carabinieri and on 25 February 2018, in the Zen district of Palermo, where some inhabitants threw a heavy concrete block at him from a balcony.
