Here and click on the 'Video' link on the left hand side.

Check the kid out who bunny hops off an 8ft high wall onto a pedestrian barrier!

I am humbled indeed.

Cheers

This is what my lad does...in fact he wins competitions doing it, albeit local ones.
Personally, I find it hard to watch him now, and even harder contemplating the repairs to the bike, which cost best part of £1500 anyway

Strangely, the major damage he's sustained so far has been to his shins and calves: many, many gashes from pedals, which have sort of spikes on them for grip

If you want to see some amazing stuff, try a search for Eddy Tongue, Chris Akrigg, Martyn Hawyes, and Martin Ashton.
ALL Brits!

PS: first time I saw my lad ride his bike off the top of a bus shelter, and land it clean, my eyes were on stalks!

Still at work so can't watch this, but is this about those who have to bounce around an obstacle course without putting feet down?

If so, the Portuguese champions at this were at my son's bike club last week. Bloody impressive. One bunnyhopped from the pavement to balance his rear wheel on a handrail (which was perpendicular, not parallel, to the direction of travel, so a total of 2 inches to aim for), paused for a couple of seconds, and hopped down again. Mucho respect.

Also absolutely shredded shins from the pedals, and they said they refused to let his parents come and watch him at competitions!

I work for the same company as 'Adam Burns' one of the riders responsible for the above website. It is all very impressive stuff. Most of the videos are shot in the town I live in.

He has only been doing this for a few years and now competes all over the world.
