I guess the carbon frame helps smooth things out. :rolleyes:

nice skills. notice the shoes and pedals. on the last part of that slick/smooth rock wall he was sliding forward with both wheels locked it was so steep.

brings new meaning to Paris Roubaix training.

Just think how many UGLY crashes a rider has to endure to develop such skill.

While using a trials bike, Danny MacAskill's videos are no less amazing.

impressive

does his bike have gears or is that a chain tensioner?

looks like he has a disc brake on the front and a caliper in the rear?

and here I was cocky enough to think I was using 40% of my bike's capacity. I'm going to have to recalculate.

I'd like to see him try that with cleated shoes and pedals :-)
