CAMERON, Mo., June 12 (UPI) -- Motocross rider Cody Elkins and pilot Skip Stewart collaborated to pull off a stunt at the 2014 Cameron Air Show where Elkins jumped over Stewart's plane.

They worked on the stunt for 10 years and have performed it around a dozen times.

"At first, it looks kind of scary and people don't know if it will hit [me]. But once you see how much control he has on the machine -- he's super talented -- it's just a matter of me doing my job and it's no worries at all," said Elkins.

Dallas resident Mike Jensen, who filmed the stunt and posted the viral video online, said it's "just a trailer of what's to come" and he plans to post more footage in the future.
