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.

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.
