I always wonder when the trick is not shown being completed. did rider crash and burn. Lack of Band-Aids on body seems to say he never crashed.
and were is that bike service offered on any of the organized rides i do.

. . . is why you didn't want to go out riding with me today? THIS is why I had to do 43 all by myself up to the lake? You were filming this instead?

That IS you in those scenes, right? :rolleyes:

Anybody have any idea what that music is? :confused:

I sat on my computrainer for 1:45 and watched football. I just didn't feel motivated to go outside.

Have seen this mentioned many places as it should be for it is incredible bike handling skills. Several have commented on how carbon frames and wheels apparently aren't so fragile. True, but....well watch it and see how somehow even on large drops, he lands on one wheel and lets it rotate so softly on the tires. His big drops and other stunts just look so light on the tires. Almost doesn't look real he is so gentle on them. Truly wonderful and mesmerizing skills.

I'm sure he fell off more than once.

Quite frankly the bridge transit was irresponsible. I wouldn't want kids to see that.
