That video is unreal!!!

Hey one time I watched my friend Gio almost bite it at the top of this gnarly rocky rooty descent, his feet clipped out, and he jammed on his front brake, landed on the toptube/stem with his feet hanging out infront of his wheel, and he cleaned the hill doing an Endo!!! I was laughing so hard that he actually made it, that I almost puked!!!:help:

This was posted about two years ago. Wow, you guys are really amazed by his wheelies. Glad the kid is stoked, and you guys should definitely not check out any BMX footage, as it will make your head implode. It is definitely pretty cool that the kid made the movie though. Is he German?

Just something that was sent to me from a Yahoo mtb group. I have no idea when it was made or where. Just seemed like something people might want to see. A search failed to show it was previously posted, and I thought some actual bike content in the lounge might be better than the stupid $hit like arguing about satellite radio or which .mp3 player rules the world.......

my guess is swedish or maybe norweigan?

i thought he was pretty impressive. how many people can ride a manual w/ their feet resting on the handlebar?

Lol, with the stuff that Bearclaw and the BC boys are up to, how is this impressive? I'm glad it got posted again, but people are waaaay more stoked than I'd expect. I like the fact he has no helmet on.

well i got bored w/ the NWD series and haven't seen one since probably #3. it's just a different skill set; i can't see how you can assign a metric to directly compare the two. this is more akin to bmx flatland riding i guess, and remember it's a homemade vid; it's not meant to be a pro-shot vid distributed as a DVD.

send a few URLs of some unbelievable clips, i'll watch 'em.

btw, the last thing i saw which really got me was kyle ebbot's (i think it was him) backflip to manual at a skatepark. that was pretty damn impressive.
