    You're a mere couple of thousand hours away from having one.

    Start by going to watch a local event, dude. Talk to them.
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    Amazing vid.

    Yep watched Dougie lampkin the UK at NEC in Birmingham at bike show once.
    He rode around a steel bar frame about 50mm wide and about 1.2m off the ground wheeling most of the way. At the 90 degree corners he just bounced it around on the back wheel! Pretty skillful.

    You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.
    And now a third thing a bloody big gun to shoot theives with!
