Monster Energy in partnership with Triumph dropped the third installment of "City is my Playground" series on its YouTube channel on Wednesday. 

The series consists of two of the best stunt riders showing off their insane skills through different cities. 

Expert stunt riders Nick "Apex" Brocha and Ernie "EDub" Vigil who is a part of the series, in its latest installment is seen 'terrorizing' the streets with spine-chilling drifts and rolling burnouts. Sporting the same helmet and similar outfits, the duo in the video can be seen zooming through the traffic on their stunt-modified Street Triple 765RS. 

The latest of the series is shot in the Carribean island of Aruba where people could be seen cheering for the duo as they immerse their loud bikes in the smoke of burning tires. 

The previous installment of the series was shot in Lima where nights of the city echoed with the sounds of high revving engines. Waking up street vendors and the residents of the city, the bike could be seen making the roads disappear in thick smoke due to prolonged burnouts. 

Nick "Apex" Brocha is a national and freestyle champion who holds more than 25 first place race finishes. He is popular for his appearance in Motorcycle Vs Car Drift Battle video series that went viral in 2012. On the other hand, Vigil has experience both as a racer with over 15 first place finishes and as a Hollywood stunt double. Icon Motorsports who had created the Motorcycle Vs Car Drift Battle video series, on its website said: "Ernie has been drifting so long he can barely walk a straight line.” 

The bike in question, the Street Triple RS is one of Triumph's finest creation in the naked sports segment. The RS managed to attract plenty of positive reviews since it was launched last year. The 'factory streetfighter' sports a liquid cooled in-line three-cylinder engine mated to a six-speed transmission that puts out 123 hp of power and 77 Nm of torque at 10,800 rpm. With a wheelbase of 1410mm and a kerb weight of 166 kg, the bike has a seat height of 825mm.
