T__ Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 This is some FANTASTIC riding from a very talented person.. This guy must have a gyroscope in his head.. http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid1137883380?bctid=21337502001 Twisty Link to comment
ltljohn Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Whenever I see these talented riders it makes me wonder how many broken bones and square feet of road rash did they collect getting that good. Link to comment
frenchwv Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 That is wild stuff. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment
Ewell D. Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Somebody needs to get him on a trials bike! Link to comment
Twisties Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 That there is some real strength. I can't even imagine having the strength to do that, much less the control. What a dream. Link to comment
T__ Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 Jan, yes.. Personally I would settle for being able to ride my bicycle backwards a short ways while balanced on the rear wheel.. I’m sure that alone would impress anybody I know.. Heck I would even settle for just being able to ride my bicycle backwards while on two wheels! (that would impress me) Twisty Link to comment
Skywagon Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Can I do that on my motorcycle? I can't do that on my feet. Link to comment
Eric S Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 That was awesome. Some 25 years ago I was heavily into BMX and racing and the tricks they do today weren't even being discussed back then, let alone accomplished. Link to comment
edbremer Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Ah, to be young and fearless again. Thanks for sharing! Link to comment
n0ct Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Never occurred to me to try to ride along the top of a picket fence Link to comment
vizhip Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Me thinks he had a more than a gyroscope... must have had an anti-gravity device in there somewhere... The guy is definitely talented... Regards - -Bob Link to comment
Mike05 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Wild stuff; thanks for sharing! Link to comment
lvnvbiker Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Gyroscope, antigravity device, and joints made by Ohlins... I just went out to the garage and told my mountian bike not to get ideas, while I would love to be able to ride like that I have to face reality and admit that I am only a human that does not heal as fast in middle age. That guy is very talented indeed. Link to comment
Patallaire Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I can't imagine the pain of the learning curve! Link to comment
Ken H. Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Makes my back hurt just watching it! Quite a talent indeed. It’s interesting to watch the evolution of the bicycles themselves too as he graduates to tougher and tougher built ones to take the punishment. Link to comment
JohnnyJ Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 The guy could do a Vegas act. Do you suppose any of the video was manipulated? While watching this I was wondering what I would do if I witnessed my own kid trying some of these stunts. JohnnyJ Link to comment
OoPEZoO Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Can I do that on a motorcycle? Nope.......can't do it on a bicycle either Link to comment
EffBee Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 McCaskill, while good at what is termed "street trials," is basically considered a low-to-mid-level performer by the true masters of the sport. He's a better-than-average marketer, however. Link to comment
Fubar Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Jan, yes.. Personally I would settle for being able to ride my bicycle backwards a short ways while balanced on the rear wheel.. I’m sure that alone would impress anybody I know.. Heck I would even settle for just being able to ride my bicycle backwards while on two wheels! (that would impress me) Twisty I'd be happy to do some of those stunts on two FEET!!! Great googly-moogly! Link to comment
Albert Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I think I could try the first stunt . . . while I waited for the paramedics. Link to comment
Schooly Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Great video. I have never seen better stunts. I plan on showing it to the grand sons tonight. My daughter will probably be mad at me for that. Link to comment
EddyQ Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 It’s interesting to watch the evolution of the bicycles themselves too as he graduates to tougher and tougher built ones to take the punishment. Maybe moves to a different bike cause the old one don't do tricks no more. . . Yes, I do wonder how one gets that good. Wonder how many bikes and bones were broken getting there. I hope he is getting paid for it ! Link to comment
