I wish I had the ability to do a fraction of this...

without killing myself. 

 

Crazy cycling tricks.   Everything is truly impressive but the trick at the 3:45 mark is super cool to me.

Dayum! That was pretty amazing.

[npgunner]

I like the flip over the red ball

[Hkinator]

I've seen Danny Macaskill vids on you tube he does the same tricks on a dedicated trials bike but this cat doing this stuff on a road or cross bike is crazy!

[DaveTN]

Cool. I would guess a lot of pain and probably some broken bones were involved in learning how to do that.

[Peace]

FWIW: This amazing human is now a Paraplegic. He suffered a serous spinal injury earlier this fall in a competition. In recovery, he worked with his editors to finish this video... as that was his main goal for 2013. There is much I could learn from such an individual. So when you see his amazing videos, you may send good thoughts/vibes/prayers his way.

No kidding!

Man that's impressive riding.

And these videos are not generally done in one take but rather many, many shots. So you should google the outtakes. It's brutal what happens when these guys don't "make it"

When I was a kid, me and a couple others were the best that we knew of on bikes. I even broke the "then" world record for a bike jump but none of us could get a news team out there to document it for Guiness (oh well) but I had tons of witnesses and the scars, still, from it. I jumped from one driveway to the next completely over a neighbors front yard, crashed on landin' and skint my elbow down to the bone. My old Schwinn 5 speed was so balanced that I could ride a wheelie no handed, like a unicycle, for the length of the block I lived on but we never even thought of doin' tricks like the stuff they do today and my jump was lame compared to current stuff. These guys are amazin' in their abilities. If I was a kid, again, you could bet I'd be breakin' some bones tryin' to do this stuff. Very cool vid!

[EMB145]

Hopping the frame of the rail car, made me nervous just watching. Not a place to take a fall. These guys have skills and I'm sure they also have the the broken bones and cuts to in the past to show for it.

[KahrMan]

Really cool video.

[Joseg]

I was going to say, they must have mountain bike/bmx guys before that, because there's no way in hell I would try some of those things with a road bike.. Surprised they didn't pop a few tires or bend a few rims.

[JReedEsq]

Just amazing...

[NoBanStan]

That's probably around 4k worth of bike he's hopping around on. Typically those road bikes are carbon fiber and don't take well to impact.

 

But, if you have to income or sponsers to support it......

 

Sad to hear he's paralyzed now.

A note of clarification: Martyn Ashton was the original rider in Road Bike Party 1, who was paralyzed earlier this year. The rider in this film is Danny MacAskill. Check out Danny's "Imaginate" series. Some of you may know his video "Way Back home"

Ah,  I just did a quick search for the brand and found one that "looked" like it. I know the lower end carbon road bikes are around 4k and go up to ungodly amounts. 24k isn't very surprising

There appeared to be some "stunts" in this video that wouldn't allow for a mulligan. Balls of steel.

I don't know any of the history but if you go by the names displayed on the screen throughout the video it featured Martyn Ashton, Danny MacAskill, and Chris Akrigg.

[bowtieguy]

Amazing video.

[glowdotGlock]

I was in awe watching this. Amazing. The human body is such an amazing machine.

[peejman]

On road bikes no less. Wow.

He speaks of recruiting friends to help finish his journey....that's because he's paralyzed.

Man, that's some awesome riding!!!
