There's some huge riding, but also some of the most technically difficult and imaginative lines you will ever see. Without a doubt, this video pushes the envelope of what is perceived as possible on a trials bike.
Wow, I know "awesome" is a very overused term, but that is the only word that came to mind! I'd imagine it requires tremendous core strength to have that much control
That's pretty impressive. Almost as impressive as some of those free running/parkour videos I've seen.
I don't know how many times I exclaimed "WHAT" while watching that. LOL - it should have used a Lil Jon track. That guy rocks. I wonder how many bent rims went into the making of that.
I can't understand how he absorbs so much shock landing on flat concrete with no transition without getting knocked off -- a little 3 foot drop will pound you if you land wrong much less 15+. Band of Horses was a good choice for the music -- cool song.
I was just about to make a post suggesting the music. For those interested, the song is called "The Funeral" and it happens to be the only song I can play on the guitar that I've had for like 6 years. On second thought..."know how to play" and "can play" probably aren't interchangeable
That is incredible..especially the flair off of the Tree and the Bunnyhop-Tailwhip. Thanks. Although, I still love to watch some old Fiola, Aparijo & Osbourne <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FgU3pXK2Ls0&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FgU3pXK2Ls0&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Wow, this thing is turning into a phenomenon - already has about a million hits - not bad for a bike vid.
Unfortunately they didn't have youtube back in my BMX days...the videos from my backyard track would have been legendary.... (THOSE VIDEOS WERE SICK)
Not as cool as the the previous two, but living here in Austin, there's a pretty cool BMX jump park. When I was going to school here years before I used to go out there a lot and watch. The jumps have gotten huge now. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/DfyeGcxF7Cs&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/DfyeGcxF7Cs&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
