If I was a younger man, this is what I would be doing.

I can't recall why I dropped by this forum today, but I'm glad I did.  I had forgotten about this video.  It is awesome indeed.  I'm wondering how long it took to do.  Two cameras to set up, and lots of practicing to get the moves at each spot down pat means a lot of time spent.  I see that this fellow has done a number of other videos as well.
If he is making a living at this sport, then more power to him.   8-) 

(I've seen similar stuff to this done with motorbikes too, but they being larger and heavier cannot match this kind of stuff, I don't think.  Although it's been a while since I watched any of that, and could well be wrong.)

I have personally showed this video to too many people to count. I love watching it and am getting addicted to the music too. Thanks for the great find Helen.

You can thank my mum who originally sent it to me lol.
Me too for the music, I really like the one track by The Jezabels, always a score to find new music.

I like the bicycle stuff better I think because I feel I could possibly do it myself. Actually I could try, fail, and pick myself up and try again. Whereas with a motorbike if I failed one of those modern stunts I'd break something.
