He can certainly throw a trials bike around.

Wonder what he'll do when he grows up...

That lad needs to raise his saddle, he'll screw up his knees I tell you...

extraordinary stuff.

There are times when he lands on a high object with the front wheel on top of the object and his back wheel on the vertical face. Then.........his back wheel just lifts up and over. How does that work?

You could organise a FNRttC to San Francisco Bay and ask him yourself.

Amazing stuff !

Never mind the level of skill required; he must be very strong and fit, to control a bike like that !

I think there's a couple of things:

1) front disc brake secures front wheel to point where he can create leverage and pull himself up on the bike and create momentum to get over the obstacle
2) the grippiest tyres out there for some rear wheel traction

I thought there would be more tricks to be honest - it's a long way to go for 4 mins. Maybe there is a longer version somewhere.
