It is an amazing video - from your neck of the woods too. The bit at 3:09 is WOW

Excellent bike moves. Well video'd as well which keeps you hooked. Mountain bikes were my bag until 3 years ago but mainly downhill. Got too old, too fat, too over worked. Miss my bike.......

IT was a Norco North Shore which I imported from Canada. At the time they were not available in the UK. It was replaced with a Trek Madone road bike thinking I'd ride the road more to keep fit than get muddy on the mountain bike. How wrong was I.

Amazing - the wheelie at 2:24 is also pretty astounding. Less spectacular, but amazing skill.

I used to be pretty into BMX's when I was a kid and spent most of my time as a teenager doing stunts and jumping off stuff.

I used to watch the pro-competitions on TV, which were incredible, but not like this. It's like a cross between parcour and BMX.

What kind of bike is he using? Presumably it must have some trick crank or even direct drive to let him ride backwards that way?

2/10 ... Get a job, what are you 12?

Seriously you know he has spent the last 15-20 years hanging out on street corners failing all of those moves.... point him at a new bit of terrain and see how well he does.

Those move are totally transferrable to any terrain or obstacle. Once you've learned the basics it's then like.......riding a bike !!

Stunning bike mate, love the downhill full sussers.

I had a trials bike like the one danny uses (speced myself @ tartybikes) loved it but it became a nightmare when I was just riding to work......no seat and one gear makes hard work of even a short ride!
Sold it to a pal and got a Mongoose Otero Elite, nothing special but got a great price on it and as I don't get out on it as much as I'd like thought I'd save some money!

great video, loved the bit at 5:04 where people around look down looking for a pile of bike and human, but instead he just cycles away.

Great bike you had there Carrerarsr. I've been meaning to get my attack trail out, but not managed it yet this year.
