Wow, impressive.

I know some trials riders but they aren't this good. Yes, they did get lots and lots of "ouchies" trying to learn that stuff. The guys I know also use elbow, knee and shin guards as well as the helmet and gloves.

Wow, I'm impressed -- especially during what looked like a 20-25ft drop.

i also noticed that he has no seat...

Very impressive. The only practical use I can see would be a job in the circus.

Wow...if I tried that I'd break about half the bones in my body...and that's on the curb.

Now I can't remember if it was online or on TV... I saw one guy that would actually make this guy look like an amature.. still impressive though.

i also noticed that he has no seat...They don't want to damage the "family jewels" when doing the big jumps and drops.

ryan leach is a really good and is a Canadian , perhaps it was him .

Man Brad you live in the Mecca of mountain biking. I haven't been on a MB in a long time, but when I lived in Colorado alot of my DH buddies would head up to your area to do some real riding. They would come back with some great video. Now that I live in the concrete jungle I don't get to ride MB much any more. Isn't Roland Green from B.C.? That guy was a power house. I was in a race with him at Winter Park in 99'. I never saw him until the podium....I wasn't on it.

Those trials riders have some amazing control and balance. Lots of fun to watch.

It would give a new meaning to "skid marks" :eek:

yes i love my mecca , even though the best hill in my city is becoming a housing project (rose hill)

i can't remember were green is from . there are so many good mountain bikers from b.c , it seems everyone is going pro around here , its sort of nice when you can go out and ride with them you learn so much .

and the tire vs bottom question , lets just say its why we wear kevlar shorts .

i used to do some BMX when i was younger. nothing like this but it takes lots of ouchies to learn. impressive!
