Trials riding has been a huge motorcycle sport for many years, and is just making its way into bicycles.

For sheer lunacy, check out the Crusty Deamons...

I thought crusty demons was something you got a from being with a woman of questionable virtue.

[chris pague]

Now do that with a 31 bertram...who's game? Bet Brewster or Bob Lico could make their ride talk...BH

[Bertramp]

unbelieveable ....
for some reason I just see my old fatt arse sprawled all over the pavement !!

[Dug]

Notice how low his seat is set! this allows him to use his whole body as a shock absorber. And he has disc brakes, front and back.

I have a cannondale trials bike that can be used for this type of thing, but heck no I cannot do that! Nor have I ever even come close...

Beyond his obvious "talent", what I see is a kid that has put umpteen hundred hours, days, weeks, and probably years to reach that point of expertise.

Now, just what the hell does he do to be a productive and viable member of society? He obviously, (to me), doesn't have much time left over to put in an 8 hr work day... I smell an entitlement baby or a rich kid with no useful ambition.

I guess it's better than tagging back alley walls.

[In Memory Walter K]

Bet his parents couldn't get him to do his homework. Also bet he has all kinds of pinched nerve and joint problems by the time he hits 40. Boy, was that fun!

[captbone]

Next week the kid will be impailed on the fence and sue the property owner for $2.7 million for having unsafe fence and a sign that provoked his stunt.

[scenarioL113]

Got to give the kid credit. He is a master of that bicycle!

[bob lico]

can somebody scan page 55 of this months issue of sport fishing . article called fishing gone wild.and post it here .
btw. if that was my kid i smack in the head ." you are the last segment of the population to carry the tourch" . "the chinese are buying up the mineral rights in montana,dakota`s , and texas " it up to your crowd to bring back america! trying getting a trade going or at least crack open those books i am paying for!

[Dug]

He is scottish or irish... Not american. Those shots were all in europe somewhere. Architecture is clearly not United States!

[Carl]

Good eye Dug! Scotland, Edinburgh is what the caption states.

Could travel the circuits and make a living...or one day put the bike away and dive into something else with as much conviction.

As Capt Pat said the amount of practice to hone skills to that level is awe inspiring. Seems kind of a shame to waste it balancing a bike on a fence, but what the hell do I know...then again maybe it's a new art form...someone plays an instrument extraordinarily...does one say what a waste of talent had they learned a real trade...back to, what the hell do I know.

[In Memory Walter K]

Another one...wonder how many bruises this kid has been treated for...
