slimjim Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 A friend of mine had a huge car accident, broke his back. The quacks say he would have been dead if his muscles were not as strong as they are. He does this. The guys are bullet! Quote
slimjim Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 That nose pick/tail whip drop off the campervan at 6:34 is fantastic... Quote

The quacks say he would have been dead if his muscles were not as strong as they are. He does this. The guys are bullet! i think at one point you see the state of his arm, its purple. Such a well put together video Quote

Woody Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 He is fantastic. Check out his other vids on youtube. Quote
sparky370z Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 that was absolutely amazing. such talent!! i wish i could just do a bunny hop or a wheelie. Quote
slimjim Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 that was absolutely amazing. such talent!! i wish i could just do a bunny hop or a wheelie. I bought a BMX a few years ago for the sole purpose of learning to manual (wheelie) . . . . . . . Gave up after about an hour of trying.... Quote
SwanageDave Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 Bloody good but isnt he a bit old for messing about on little bikes.(jealous) Quote

An hour is plenty long to learn the basics of a manual - someone was teaching you wrong or you had the wrong technique. You need to put your weight way further back than you think - acutally its not that far back, it just feels it. Rather than pull up to get the wheel off the ground, you kind of move your weight back and get the bike to pivot around your feet. Sounds odd, but thats how it works. When I was 16 I could pedal wheelie literally as far as I liked. Wish I still had that control, can only do about 50m now Quote

AK350Z Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 Wee slide on the pipe is my fave bit. Awesome control! Quote
Chris`I Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 I havent watched it yet, left the laptop buffering it in 1080HD glory for later Quote
AK350Z Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 I bought Find the other day too, which has an interview with.Danny and the director on it. Really good, especially the trip with Danny, Steve peat, and Hans Reay doing some Scottish helibiking! Quote

Stew Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 When I was 16 I could pedal wheelie literally as far as I liked. Me too! I could also do no handies from about 8 as far as I liked, round corners etc. It was ace! I have something else to do wheelies on now! Quote

I think its cos he cant do them Quote
AK350Z Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 Yep, just jealous. Obviously I didn't have enough misspent youth! I do wish i'd been into biking earlier though, I didn't really start until i went to Uni, and like anything else, starting young gives you a big advantage in the skills. Quote
Wasso Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 Only just been able to watch this, truly amazing - he's definetly "at one" with his bike!! Very creative and made great use of the telphone box, might try that one day (If only) Quote
V88 REG Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 that is amazing. so much balance and confidence. Quote
