That manual he does up the steps. Just how the **** do you learn to do that?
He must be unweighting the rear wheel at the same time.
Impressive.

Looks fun if you've got the skills to make it work like that, but I think probably hardly anyone does... Even with an obviously damn skilled rider it still looked clumsy and hard work at times. Cool though.

Used to have a BMX with 4 derailleur gears as a kid in 80s. Used to help when being chased by older kids 🙂

One of those video's that makes it look really cool, then you get one and realise the guy in the video was just really good and the bike doesn't actually make you any good at riding...

Like kids toy adverts, nagged my parents for months for a Mr frosty because the advert made it look awesome when I got one it was utter crap...

Were they Vee Chicane tyres? Bit borderline how they would roll on 80mm rims, given they are 26"x3.5", but I've been curious about them for a while.

As for the video, that rider makes all those tricks/jumps look far too easy! 8)

I suck at BMX, but it would be a hoot for cruising around on 😀
