Something doesn't seem right with that video, like the helmet is not moving while everything else is bouncing around. Almost looks like a video game...Larry

If you look in the mirror, you can see the camera mounted on the helmet.

You can see him duck and then at the end that's not a wheelie, he is sitting back up.

I see them all the time in illinois and I never wanted to do that.
 
But I did ride a 1/4 mile long, 1 lane each way with a wall in between subway the wrong direction once. Still not sure why. No small cameras back then dangit.

The helmet isn't bouncing because the camera is mounted to it.
