The Indian Army's Dare Devils in a bid to gain a place in the Guinness Book of World Records formed a human pyramid of 251 army personnel on 11 motorbikes and successfully rode a distance of 200 metres at the Gauri Shankar Parade Ground amidst thunderous loud cheers. The Corps of Signals motorcycle display riders, in a brilliant show of courage, succeeded in its own previous record.
The armymen in green, blue and red track-suits and white cap also rode the same distance forming a pyramid of 230 men and then 241 men on 11 motorbikes before forming what can be described as a formidable pyramid of 251 men on 11 bikes.
The Dare Devils had made it to the Guinness Book for first time in 1998 forming a pyramid of 40 men on seven motorbikes followed by 81 men on nine motorbikes in 1994, 140 men on 11 motorbikes in 1996 and 201 men on 10 motorbikes in 2001.
Describing Dare Devils as pride of Corps of Signals ,Lt. Col.A. Deshpande, who led the Dare Devils for the first time to the Guinness Book in 1991 declared the feat as the best example of courage of the Indian Army personnel. They surely have a reputation to live upto.
