Whoa! How many times did he have to biff hard to perfect that routine?
That rear sprocket is huge! It must be easy to get a bit happy with the throttle and flip...

Dunno man, that guy has mad skills...................if you watch he is sooooo smooth with the entire routine. Better than a Olympic ice skater finale. Kuddos all around

I saw a 19 yr. old kid do much better than that at a local event last month. He used that bike like a pogo stick, hopped it up and down 60 deg. inclines and danced on top of a garbage dumpster with it - all without ever putting a foot on the ground. It was unreal. I need to find a video of it.

Wow...that is impressive. I wish I could play ride like that on an empty parking lot. I bet there are lots of costly and painful mistakes these stunt riders make. I've seen idiots ride wheelies on their sport bikes down the highway during rush hour.
I met several pro stunt riders at a gas station fueling up their stunt bikes (on back of pickup trucks) and ask them what's one of the hardest stunt to perform? They said it's doing a slow balanced wheelie going in super tight circle (i.e. nearly pivoting on rear wheel). If I were a stunt rider I would try to do a balanced wheelie while doing smoking rear tire burnout! Have anyone seen this performed yet?

Actually, I think he's doing it completely wrong, but he does seem VERY good at doing it wrong. I was pretty impressed to see him "bunny hop" a bike like that even one that's custom built for stunts.

Crazy! That was pretty cool. You do wonder how many bikes were sacrificed in learning those skills.

That guy has talent (yes that is a talent.) Jason Britton (team no limit) used to have a show on speed about stunt riding. Some of the tricks Jason performed were unreal.
I understand all the bikes have sliders and cages to protect the engine and frames from unexpected departures.
