Shonzilla, a pattern-seeking animal

Olivier Lemieux from Cirque du Soleil has a wickedly fun routine somewhere between trampoline, wall and art.

This is what skills are about: to make it look so simple.

Damien Walters Showreel 2009

This guy, his acrobacy, flexibility and ability to keep momentum is amazing. I’m mind blown!

Thanks to Miloš for the hint.

Filmed over the period of a few months in and around Edinburgh by Dave Sowerby, this video of Inspired Bicycles team rider Danny MacAskill features probably the best collection of street/street trials riding ever seen. There’s some huge riding, but also some of the most technically difficult and imaginative lines you will ever see. Without a doubt, this video pushes the envelope of what is perceived as possible on a trials bike.

The music is by Band of Horses. The song is ‘The Funeral.’

The beginning of the video sums it up why I never tried anything similar. As I’m thinking of trying at least rail hops, after 2+ decades of riding a bike, I should really start wearing a helmet. :-)
