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

Awesome video. I was impressed by the strength of the wheels also. They look like carbon wheels. I did not think they could take the kind of side loads that they took in some of the tricks.

This makes Peter Sagan's video of riding his bike up on top of his car look like a booger. :)

I knew guys in the 70's who could do nearly everything this guy does on a bicycle, except they did it on a motorcycle. They were the guys who rode Trials. Of course they didt do ALL of it since rolling over an inflatable ball on your back with a 200 pound motorcycle would be pretty tough to accomplish as opposed to an ultra light bicycle, but riding over vehicles, riding the back wheel (Trials riders could do it all day long), riding the front wheel, pulling up and turning from a dead stop, hopping, all of it, they could do it on a Trials bike 40 years ago.

 

These are videos of Open Trials competitions, I looked for some old Trials demonstration videos but there appears to be none.
