This dude is quite talented, have to wonder how much editing had to be done, but still quite impressive. Not sure if it's a repost, sorry if it is.

It's got a fixed hub in the rear (kind of like a unicycle), for better one wheel balance and riding in reverse.
He's damn good...but I like this guy better when it comes to mountain bike skills...

Anyone who can highchair wheelie a pushbike has a small amount of talent...:done:

That kid was good too!
It's nice to see kids still riding (to some degree) bikes instead of sitting on their arses in front of a screen eating chips.
Also makes me wonder if my motorcycle riding skills would improve from taking my pushbike off the windtrainer and riding it outside for a change!

No. Roll any mtb backwards and the pedals do not spin freely, if you are moving forward then the pedals can move backwards freely, moving backwards and they lock, if he didn't pedal back the bike would've flipped over, just like any regular mtb.
Guys got some serious skill for sure.

Awesome skills,
I went to Rotorua a few months back to watch the world Mountain Bike Champs,the top riders from around the world, girls and guys where here in NZ racing downhill, crosscountry and competing in the trials event.
After awhile the trials got boring to watch, they made it look so easy.
The downhill was awesome to watch and even the cross country which is usually not very excitng to watch,( but lots o fun to do,) was bloody entertaining, at that level of fitness they move so swiftly and smoothly across the terrain.Dam good weekend.They have some dudes on motorcross bikes on the friday night doing some big jumps down the main street of Rotorua, launching themselves of launch ramps, there was one guy on a 4 wheeler doing the jumps as well.That looked pretty crazy, a 4 wheeler flying through the air.

watched a vid a couple of months ago of one riding along rail way tracks, stops, then does the jump thing onto the other rail facing the other way and rides off - WTF!

I went to school in Wairoa with a guy (I think his name was/is Robert (?) Ottoway) and he was as good as that kid in the second vid. He progressed to motorbikes. Dunno what ever happened to him... anyone heard the name?
(They lived down the end of Scott St. - for Mrs KD and anyone else that knows Wairoa)

Ahhh!! That's fuckin' it! I am never posting anything on here ever again, unless I have personally photographed or made the vid myself!
LOL, thanks for not biting my head off though Gr81! At least you can get over the fact that it's been done before, and that it was sooooo cool that it needed to be seen again! It's amazing though how many people commented on it as they had probabaly not seen it on here before though.:shutup: :dodge:
