Having been brought up around this sort of thing as a hobby,
I used to ride a bmx in many different respects, street, park, dirt being my favorite and then flatland, being quite hesitant being holding me back to a large degree but being able to do things large and fast I can appreciate what this requires...


The skills and nerves this guy have are huge,
knowing how many times he would have fucked up as well and not letting that or the fact that some of his obstacles
could well have him seriously injured just makes him an absolute legend.
Never seen that level of skill in that type of environment, rightly makes my exploits feel mediocre. Embarassed

Probably lots of practice, pain, improvement in flexibility, strength and reflex... Obviously you can see theres a hell of a lot of technique.
Makes me want a trial bike so bad.
Oh and allot of trial's bikes have a minuscule chain wheels, which obviously has a dramatic effect into handling input.
The bikes are easily influenced in direction as the are light and maneuverable.
Most importantly though this guy is just the bees knees Mr. Green Thumbs Up

Have had a go on a proper set up trails bike like that and my shoe probably weighed more than it! Some of them hops are insanely high, I remember feeling chuffed at hopping up a 2 foot monument lol and 5ft was a monster drop out when I used to BMX! That double stair drop he did looks epic in comparison! Hats off to him, very skilled rider!

He's riding around on what is probably 3 or 4 grands worth of push bike. If not more.

I used to BMX in my younger days, and rode with a lad called Ryan, Who was a shit hot trials rider.


https://b2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/00464/29/75/464115792_l.jpg


I used to watch him ride and think like...

"WHY would you think of doing that?!?"


Some of the stuff he does, wouldn't even enter your head as being possible.
It'd be helpful if you were from this area to know what I am talking about. But in the chatham town center, Theres a big Tesco. And outside is like maybe a 10 - 12 foot, slightly sloped wall with a flower bed in the top.
Next to it is the pavement. And between the pavement and road is one of those railings in the picture.

He rides along, UP this 10 foot + wall, Hops on the top of it on the back wheel. Then hops across the pavement and lands on the fucking hand rail!

Its actually a "W T F" moment when he does this shit!

I love the ending!! Very Happy

The guy has skillz ... seeing some prat on a bmx or skateboard doing 'tricks' holds no interest for me, but as I am into motorcycle trials, seeing someone on a proper trial bicycle is cool!! Smile

If you like urban trails and things with engines ... take a look at this!! Cool
