......but it still amazes me the skill of these riders. He probably sucks in 'normal' riding on the street though. (I have to believe that to not sound like I'm in so much awe!  ;) ;))

Street Riding? I pity the car that pulls out in front of him.

He'll probably drive over it....wouldn't seem to be much of a trick for that guy  ;D

Good Trials riders are the virtuosos of the motorcycle world.
They can do anything on a bike.

How much do those trials bikes weigh? 

And to round out the ridiculous display of balance and control, how about some bmx flatlanding:

(unless you are into hardcore/emo music, I would suggest turning your volume down)

Trials and stunts/tricks on peddle bikes takes skill......this takes balls, watch the rear tyre go into shake as he crosses the stripe.

That 6 minutes went by so fast. The control is so amazing that I expect to see him ride up the side of The Statue of Liberty next.

anyone know where the "track" in the first video is... i've seen some pretty cool setups but this is by far the most intricate and massive trials course i've ever seen!  there's even little water falls in parts of it!

insane riding capability... makes me wanna go trials rider tipping... an all new sport no longer involving smelly cows and 1000 times harder!  ;D

here's dad (minute 1:08 in the vid)... he's an up and coming trials star   ;D... he's getting a lesson from mick andrews
