Parkour on a bike?

Last time I saw trials biking many years ago on t.v. it was a buncha guys farting around on picnic tables and logs. Wow, the sport has come a long way and this video filmed in and around Edinburgh, Scotland is an amazing display, I've never seen anything like it. I know, you're thinking '5 minutes of this? Really?!' but trust me it's worth it with some of the most spectacular footage coming at around the 3:00 minute mark.



Me, I'm happy if I keep the rubber side down on my simple little trail rides and come home with the minimum of bruises and scratches.

  1. As crazy cool as this video is, can you imagine the video that could have been taken while they were learning these skills. Ouch!

  2. Yeah, Jonny and I were talking about that, how many bad falls he must have taken to perfect each stunt. Jonny is familiar with a lot of the locations and says they're much steeper/higher than they look on the video. Ouch is right.
