Parkour on a bike - awesome!

However, I've been raised on Jackass, so it feels wrong when he doesn't land on his nuts and damage himself.

Yep he's been around for a while but there was a program on tv in the uk a couple of days ago that showcased him, a parkour guy, a skateboard guy and a flatland bmx guy.

All of them were top of their field and had to film something never seen before.

They paired them with up and comming Internet directors an followed them for 4 months.

Those in the uk might want to watch it on 4ondemand "concrete circus"

It reminded me of "Danny" and his bike.

FAKE! All CGI after effects. :);) :o :mrgreen:

They left out the 1000 of hours of falls and baby step stunts.

I dont doubt they left out the 1000s hours of mistakes he must have made learning how to move a bike like its a pair of underpants.

I'm into watching stunts done on motorcycles. The full back flip is first practice on a bicycle with no wheels on a trampoline. Then they move up to a bicycle and a ramp into a swimming pool (some times filled with large pieces of foam). Then a small minibike, Then a full size motorcycle into the pool. I figure at least 3 months of practice before doing the one stunt. Last year someone did not make the full rotation and landed on his head. First death from that trick that I know of.
