to believe it or call it a stunt.The clip, which has racked up more than four million views on TikTok, captures the man clinging to a tree deep in the forest, his overturned motorcycle lying on the ground.

While skeptics dismiss the clip as a clever piece of performance content, others are still awed — and slightly bewildered — by how he managed to stay perched on a tree for so long.
