Video: Sir Chris Hoy returns to two wheels with Nissan

Multiple Olympic gold medallist and Nissan factory driver and ambassador Sir Chris Hoy made a return to two wheels recently, but not in the way one might expect.

The Scot, who has been a part of Nissan's racing efforts since his second season of car racing in 2014, teamed up with world-renowned stunt driver Terry Grant to learn the art of 'skiing' - driving a car on two wheels.

"That was amazing," said Hoy. "Once you get up on the two wheels, and once it's settled, it's such an amazing feeling!"

"I'd love to have another shot again but I don't want to push my luck"
