IF is the operative word there. He is absolutely marvelous. Reminds me of the days when trials riding was pretty popular, do they have that type competition for mountain bikes? I said "IF" because as talented as the guy was (wonder how much time was spent practicing and how much recovering) he probably already knows that a bicycle delivery job would be too boring. Plus he didn't look like he knew the shortest route...anywhere.:)

MacAskill is awesome! Most of what he does here (if it were in competition) is called trials or "street trials" but there is some freestyle in it as well.

Faaark

Most people in the world would be happy to do some of that on their feet - let alone on wheels !!!

Awesome

The guy is really good

two observations

1. That bike wasn't made in China or he would need about 60 of them to make those films :o

2. You can practice a lot when you have National Health :LOL:


One odd thing - why the bike helmet ? It seems kind of sissy in context...


Give me a bell on Wednesday afternoon here, Thursday morning there and we can discuss the project..

Best

He is something on a bike. I have this kid down the street from me I was trying to find the video of him on the front wheel with one hand and one foot on the bike. His cell rings and he answers it!

I tried a very small part of one of those tricks once..............missed it by that much.

Got a lovely piece of stainless and some screws though.

He is a freak.

Just think if he spent that much time and effort on something that was worthwhile ??? !!!

Breaking a leg or arm is one thing, breaking your head is quite another. I've broken 3 helmets and I'm glad I had them every time. Better to be called a sissy than a veggie.

Yes agree. But when you consider with sponsorship, endorsements etc. he could by a CSX each six months.."eek"

Actually, I'm glad he doesn't, there is not enough for him to crash..:LOL:
