Street Hero - Amazing bus jump

An attempt at launching a viral campaign for the latest HTC smartphone running Google Android - HTC Hero. This video is supposedly created by a parkour group Street Heroes whose MySpace page is a couple of days old.

To get the full point of this viral ad, make sure to watch the related video where you can see the entire commercial from point-of-view recorded with headcam, i.e. HTC Hero strapped to guys head. :-)

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. :-)
