Despite my mountain biking experience, while on a lazy ride with my wife last Sunday I managed to hook my rear tire on a train track and fell over while clipped in. While I already felt like a loser for that the guy in that video makes me feel downright worthless. :wink:

Now THAT is what you get for riding clips, my friend. Beartraps FTW.

I've been in the bike industry for 20 years and I am still amazed by how much further they push it every year. I still get blown away.

I saw a Cannondale trials rider perform a demo at a Belgian mountain bike race back in 2002 and was amazed. If I tried any of those tricks I would not only have taco'd my rims but myself as well! I am always amazed at the skills these guys have, and the mettle to even attempt some of the things they do. Simply awesome...

Cheers! M2

That's amazing how they did that with bigger wheels, which are heavier. Britain's answer to Matt Hoffman?

LOL @ all the people who were looking at the end of each stunt. Must've blown their minds and made their day...

Holy crap!

To think when I started riding a bicycle, no hands and wheel stands were the tricks...... okay that was a LONG time ago..... a real long time ago.
