Next stop: Idiot Avenue.

A straphanger filmed a numbskull with a death wish “surfing” an E train at a Queens station last week.

The unidentified subway surfer clings to the back of the train as it pulls out of the Van Wyck Boulevard station in Jamaica, balanced precariously on one leg.

“I should take the bus home after witnessing this cuz if he die you know that’s a 2 hour delay,” posted Instagram user remember24getme, along with the video.

An MTA spokesman said the agency was unaware of the incident and the image would be forwarded to the NYPD.

In 2014, a 45-year-old man was killed when his head hit a support beam while he surfed through a subway tunnel atop a train.

At least 14 people have died surfing subways since 1989.
