yeah I have a few vids with him in it.

Bro can hold a line eh?

Mtbing is so freaking cool!

[bumperjohn]

Wow, sick.

[Bud_E]

Just amazing. I've got to believe that if he ever misses he ends up bloody.

[Volant]

That's nuts! But, I guess you don't have to worry about getting hit from behind by someone on their cell phone while driving their SUV.

[Erik.Lazdins]

Ryan's got skills!

I couldn't watch without squirming!

Saw him perform last year here in Seattle; he made a mistake off a metal prop and caught himself without incident. Very quick reflexes, which is probably essential along with a good medical plan.

My 7-year-old thought he was awesome. His signed poster hangs proudly in her room.

[Dave B]

he is in the movies The Collective and Roam

it shoes some of his mistakes. He rides over a chain between two posts like in a fence. He also drops about 6 feet from a wall onto a rail...like a train track.

just brilliant

[stevep]

that was cool.
never have to yell at him to hold his line i bet.

how many busted collarbones do you suppose he's had making up that routine?
yikes.

[Blue Jays]

I'm always awed by these top-notch trials riders. Their sense of balance is unreal.

[davids]

I could do that. Actually, I don't even think I could do that on foot.

The point where he glides 'downhill' on a narrow log was thrilling. Yow!

[Blastinbob]

This looks like #1

cool sounds on his site too

[Blue Jays]

I'm guessing he is likely the ONLY person running that course on his bicycle!

Anyone got tips for good road cycling videos? Watched Overcoming last night. Seen Road to Paris a hundred times. And The Hard Road. I've been watching Tour De France 99, 00, 01 over and over. Can you tell it's been raining?

We need more road videos with speed metal, atmo.

[capybaras]

entertaining.
the 95 worlds won by olano is a great video to show new riders. the best guy gave it up for his teammate... no questions or doubt/
( indurain )
career of sean kelly is a dble tape... some great stuff from the king of the classics

It was amazing, awesome, humbling, almost impossible appearing, and wonderful to watch. At the top of each discipline of athletics exists some who are so far above the rest that most within the discipline cannot even relate to that ability. So it was in that video.

Sort of neat watching someone doing something that appears impossible to do.

Think I will go back to checkers.

jonathan irwin, if you haven't seen Höllentour it's worth your while. Even in the aftermath of confessions by Aldag and Zabel you can't help but like them.

[jonathanirwin]

Oh yeah, I saw that too. It's one of the only cycling movies on Netflix. It was good stuff.

[soulspinner]

Last season I hit the back of a Honda (she STOPPED abruptly to talk on her phone) hard enough to crack the clearcoat(powdercoated) on the headtube of my frame and managed not to fall or even unclip. I thought that was pretty good but what that guy is doin is unreal!
