World's Most Dangerous Sport (1955). Filmed in Bavaria, Germany. Skiers are towed by cars and motorcycles travelling at great speed. Probably not considered the most dangerous sport by today's standards!

    Reminds me of a bandini, but this thing is rear engined it looks like.

    I dont know what it is, but if you do really like the look of it, a bandini siluro is very similar in appearance

    Yeah, but in general the roads in my country aren't covered with a layer of slippery ice.
