I cycle, but just 5 miles each way to work. My bike has enough trouble going off-road onto the football pitch. It would fall to bits attempting any of that kinda stuff  :o

I'm also not sure which is more awe inspiring really - his skills or the scenery? Nice cinematography, too.

... been on 2 wheels most of my life in one form or another. Quite a talent, seriously impressive obviously. Wonder if he intends to follow in Dougy Lambkins foot steps on motorcycle trials? I guess he would have done so earlier in his carear if so.

Posted some of his videos before on here, magic stuff. :y

Yep. Something not wired up quite right there.

He travels in a motorhome and then, when he stops off on the way, gets his bike out and tries to kill himself with it.

Silly Sod. The bike is for the "travelling" bit, and as for the stopping off and trying to kill himself - do you think he's heard of beer and curry? ::)

Or better still, roll the two into one and get a nice, light two seater sports car... :-X

A very talented guy. There's a few video's out there of his skills.

As a cyclist myself, I would like a fraction of his skills. I wonder how many trips he has made to A&E before he got to the level he is ?

Absolutely un-bloody-believeable. I would kill for a talent like that
