Insane!

I've been to the World Indoor (motorbike) Trials at Sheffield and have been lucky enough to walk round the sections before the event. I couldn't even work out where the riders would go! Seeing the sections ridden was awesome! Then during the interval Ot Pi and his mate came out on their push bikes...staggering! They were doing what the motorbikes did and more but they made it look p*ss simple!

Very, very I wish I had just 1% of their ability and agility

What p!sses me off about them though is that in most parts of this country the councils and police would view them as hooligans

A good friend of mine recently tried to open up a US Style indoor BMX/skate park in our town, wherye they could practice in relative safety, the local council vetoed it saying they didn't want ot encourage that sort of behaviour

So instead the kids do it in the town centre (right outside the Town Hall ironically) instead

Fantastic amount of balance and control.

I watched some guys at the bike show at Earls Court last year doing this sort of stuff, some of the moves were unbelievable

My eldest has been doing this since he was 13, he's 22 now. Him and a mate used to hop off the top of bus shelters

He also rode his bike across the top of the Pont du Gard, in France, hopping over the gaps in the copings.
Only 100 feet down on one side

Fair play to the lad doing that.

Downhill Freeride is more my area, brings back good memories of France last year.
