came by this on a derelict buidling forum I linger on.
Good stuff

That is AMAZING!!!
I've seen a lot of BMX vids over the years, and that is seriously impressive by any standards.
Great stuff. I always wanted to be able to do that as a kid. Sadly I never got past an endo.
Looking on the bright side, I can do the sequence from 2:03 to 2:11.
How does he ride a bike down a freakin cable??? I have trouble keeping a bike on a sidewalk.
Saw that as part of the concrete circus on c4. He's rather incredible... but it isn't bmx.
best I've seen:)
Parkour on a bicycle

That's right. I think its a trials (or is it trails?) mountain bike.
I saw another one of his videos shot around Edinburgh a couple of years back. Aparently he was an internet sensation getting hundreds of thousands of views on youtube within 24 hours with his first homemade movie. That got a load of sponsors interested and things have moved on from there
His back story is good as well. he grew up on the isle of Skye, not exactly a hot bed of urban sports... or urban anything. Just bored kid with a bike and the determination to keep falling off it! He ended up making what looked a bit like one of those go ape places in his back garden - old pallets up trees and all sorts. That is where he practised and practised.
Quite incredible to watch isn't he? He has a few vids on YT if people want more.
OK...this is what i don' t understand. He pedals/ jumps across the tops of the train and then has to walk his bike up the stairs and across the dirt filled barn area?
Feh. I am unimpressed.
