Flip vs. skate

Shawn Johnson and Apolo Ohno — Olympians who have also won “Dancing With the Stars” trophies — are co-starring in a new series of video promos that have gone viral on the Internet.

The videos, made to promote Nestle’s Crunch candy bars, were shot last month in Park City at the Utah Olympic Park‘s bobsled track.

In one, Johnson appears to do a backflip over an oncoming bobsled (though you can tell she’s doing it alongside the track, in complete safety).

In the other, though, Ohno speed-skates down the length of the bobsled track. And, judging by the shocked reactions of Johnson and the camera crew, it’s 100-percent real.

Johnson’s stunt has garnered more than 600,000 views on YouTube, while Ohno’s stunt already has been seen by more than 300,000 YouTube users.

Here’s Johnson’s stunt:

Here’s Ohno’s response:
