That kid is absolutely insane I seen this back in September I was amazed yet thought how perfectly stupid he was. yet one he is in Britain full health care, two he is young and invincible. I'd love too do those stunts, the fact is I have to import 50% of our income that prevents me from being so bold. I am in fact in awe of his courage and instance to complete what he has started.

I would love to have that courage... trial and error trial and error allows you to succeed.

and to do what most think is impossible

i agree that this is truly amazing. To have so much confidence in doing these stunts is unreal. But lets not forget ....this is a video and well ...they can be edited to not show the 15 attempts to get one good one! I am sure this guy has suffered many injuries during his Years of learning. None the less its just plain COOL :D and wish i could do some of the stuff...not all i dont want to kill my self.

That is still as good as the first time I seen it, he really has some balance skills.

That's what I call balance and Dexterity..
As kids we never had bikes like that. It would be very hard to get my "banana" seat bike with the monkey handle bars off the ground. :lol:

So my hats off to the KID :lol: GO KID GO

Amazing balance - and he is probably sponsored and getting paid to do this stuff all day every day. balance, skill, practice, and a good doctor with kids in college to pay for. :) wait, the doctor is probably salaried by the govt right? oh well, interesting video anyway..
