Balls of steel and levels of confidence us fogey's can only dream of .....

Unbelievable!

Wibble 

Busy playing spot the location in my home town was fun though 
Trials riders are absolutely amazing though aren't they?? They must have a letter from mum excusing them the laws of physics!

Even riding backwards defeated me (yes I tried it when I was younger... with predictable lack of success lol) and I've still never mastered the "chip shop wheelie"

Thanks for putting that up, bloody amazing

Love it!

The backing track is good as well, without the incoherent, grunge factor!

Thanks Andy.

Ta Ra, Bill.

Awesome is the only word I can think of!

Now then - do I show this to No1 son (age 7) or not - he wants to do tricks on his bike but is not sure what they look like - but do I want him riding along railings... 

Mind I could not see a bell on the bike in the vid, the saddle looked a little low to me and there was no hand signals...

Can you imagine what he'd be like on a GasGas? 

GC

[guest27]

Gas Gas - I think he is better off with the peds - can do more and looks great etc.

Question - how does that back gear work then,  Was watching some bits and he pedals forwards and back suggesting a fixed rear, but in a couple of places he is also freewheeling.

?

BTW it is all CGI

Impressive

 some of the more flash trials cycles have the freewheel in the front chainring, with a fixed rear sprocket.
 i think its something to do with less 'take-up' from the freewheel (i.e the pause between turning the pedals and the wheel turning)

[guest27]

Mmm but  would that allow the riding backwards, forwards and freewheeling that he does?

R

[guest27]

Have watched it a few more times and thought it may because he was changing his bike / t-shirt etc, so maybe there was a freewheel bike and a fixed wheel bike - then the fixedwheel black bike did some freewheeling like the freewheel blue on - bugger

Not in the same class but I really like this one too - seems so effortless - almost balletic and he seems to just having fun

Which bit do you mean Rog? If it's about 3min 37 then from memory it's a slight slope he's reversing down so he'll need to turn the pedals backwards to allow the wheel to turn hence the illusion of cycling backwards, everywhere else looks like a freewheel equipped bike, albeit with a magician stood on top of it!

Cool! I like flatland, it's definitely the thinking rider's BMXing. And yes, he does have a good smooth style. Quite like the track too:
"Go to Japan, drink saki with the mafia, Go to Libya, hang out with gadaffier" LOL

Another superb video. I think I have a misspent adulthood. All this time cooped up working when I could be outside in the sunshine riding my bicycle having fun. Bah humbug.
