Rimskimming

Rimskimming is a term used to describe the act of driving a vehicle at high speed very close to the edge of a precipice or drop-off. The term is most commonly associated with stunts performed in off-road vehicles, such as dune buggies or all-terrain vehicles, often in desert environments. The objective of rimskimming is to maintain balance and control while the vehicle's tires skim along the very edge of a drop, creating a visual illusion of extreme danger.

This activity is inherently dangerous and carries a high risk of serious injury or death. Factors contributing to the danger include the unpredictable nature of terrain, potential for mechanical failure, and the extreme precision required to execute the maneuver successfully. Rimskimming is not a recognized motorsport and is typically performed as an amateur stunt or for entertainment purposes in controlled, albeit risky, environments. It is often featured in viral videos online, showcasing daring feats that push the limits of vehicle control and driver nerve. Due to its hazardous nature, rimskimming is strongly discouraged and should not be attempted without professional guidance and safety precautions, which are rarely present in instances where the stunt is performed.
