Fabian Bosch found a unique way to 'ride' an escalator during his downtime at the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.

The Swiss freestyle skier is not due for competitive action until the men's slopestyle event gets underway on Sunday, and the 20-year-old found an amusing way to entertain himself.

Bosch can be seen walking to the left-hand side of an escalator before he grabs hold of the rail with his right hand and shows some impressive hang time, despite the difficulty of the stunt.

The slopestyle world champion from 2015 found a novel way to reach new heights without the aid of his skis, and his actions are sure to have caught the imagination of his rivals in his quest for gold.

Bosch's Instagram post read: "After 20 years, I still couldn't figure out how this thing works! Am I doing it right?"
