Not the way I ride, but OH MY

Outside of the disrespect of other's property, this guy has "mad skills" on the bike.

Man, that guy is frigging oustanding.

I wonder how many times he's visited the emergency room?

This guy is from the Island of Skye. His mum runs a building company and is a customer of mine. He is now sponsored by Red Bull i believe.

Very cool. Reminds me of when I was a kid. I could do alot similar things on a skateboard. Growing up in Virginia Beach, Virginia we had lots of skaters including alot of pro tournaments on the city owned half pipe. I grew up skating and watching Tony Hawk and all those guys. Definately a fun time in my life. Of course, that was 25 years and 80 lbs ago...........lol

That dude has mad skills! In my younger days, when I didn't fear anything, I was happy to ride a wheelie for 5 or 10 ft.

When I was growing up if you could do a wheelie further than 10ft you were a God in our neighborhood. I remember when BMX racing was just starting to become a big deal. Cycling has come a LONG ways.

OH MY indeed, that man sure knows how to ride a bike!

I'm quite glad to see he wears a helmet, I think it's a good example to whoever would like to practice something like that!
