A lot of that, I bet, was learned and practiced on a unicycle. I used to ride a unicycle as part of the schtick us high school yell leader squad performed at the football games. That was 1963 before BMX.

I could do a couple of things on the handlebars of a bike, but nothing like her. That's some good stunt riding. If I could have done some of that, no one would have watched the game.

Seriously, we goofed off during halftime along with the band.

Nice....but I like the scary one. Too much "safe" in my life these days. Danger makes you feel alive.

If you survive.

Not until you said it and I looked at post #6....thanks!
My main bike is a belt driven bike. Hers looks to be a single speed and 'no coasting'
Mine is an 8 speed...which would be no good for tricks.

move...I don't know how she does that. Very talented.

I notice the same thing. It's too fast to easily see at normal speed. I didn't try slowing it down, but I was able to catch it when she flipped back to behind the bars. She rotates them 180º while putting one leg up. They then rotate behind the other leg.

Yes, the amount of sacrifice (broken bones, physio...) to be that good, or better than the next person.

To be sure, but standing on top of the drops defies physics!
