A teenager was spotted hitching a risky ride on the back of a double-decker bus in London.
The teen decided to surf on the back of a bus on Lansbury Drive in Hayes, west London.
He grabbed hold of the back of the number 90 bus as it whizzed along the 30mph residential road.
A video shows him desperately clinging on, but he kept slipping.

The boy eventually lost his grip, but he managed to avoid falling as he landed on the ground.
He then ran off when the bus pulled over at a busy stop.
The teen was wearing black slider flip flops, shorts, a t-shirt and a backpack.
The daring ride was captured by man in a car travelling behind the bus.
He says ‘this kid’s in flip flops’ as he watches the stowaway moment on Monday morning.
It is not known how old the lad was.
