Default Awesome bike skills and "bodyblading"!
Just thought I would share my two favourite youtube vids:

Danny Macaskill and his sublime bike skills...

YouTube - Inspired Bicycles - Danny MacAskill April 2009

and this utterly insane video on "bodyblading" that I stumbled across...

YouTube - SWISSPASS 2 with NUDE and jean yves blondeau buggy rollin

just imagine what the bikes and cars this nut passed must have thought!

That guy on the bike is truly awesome. They are very special skills.


I like the way the body blader uses a Scandinavian flick into the tighter corners.

As a kid, I spent a fair bit of time trying to pull off a simple wheelie without success and felt fear jumping off home made ramps that were less than a meter high on my bmx. I certainly don't have great biking skills/courage on two wheels, but that does mean I can appreciate this guys talent even more!

I have never seen anyone as natural and connected with a bike as this chap.

Outstanding skills on the 'bike, and the body boarding was also very good to watch.
