Anticitizen will love the bicycle tricks. The skateboard tricks are impressive too.

My favorite is the cop telling the guy with the paraglider he can't jump off the cliff...

I could do the trick where somebody jumped on a huge airbag and launched me into the water. That's about the extent of my athletic skill set these days.

As a toddler, Son of Weldangrind could whip down the stairs in a diaper, like the little tyke in the video.

I was most impressed by the feats of the physically challenged folks in the video. Not sure what my excuse is.

I really liked the way the video was compiled. Very positive and compelling and uplifting.

All my talents are cerebral. I'm lucky I have the skill to shift a bike, much less do any of those amazing tricks.

As a youth, I was stupid on a BMX, right up until I broke two teeth. Thus ended my daredevil period.

Neat videos. I like to watch the People are Awesome videos after a week or so of fail vids.

I kept doing stupid bicycle tricks until my forties although they didn't become stupid until I broke a fork on landing a jump. Got lucky with just a bloody nose, road rash on my arms and legs, and bruised nuggets. Now I won't even track stand. However, that doesn't stop me from admiring the skills of a guy like Danny MacAskill.

My goodness! Danny is an amazing athlete.

Dannys' Way Back Home video inspired this one by a fellow fixed gear cyclist in Singapore. This is one of my favorites.

Now, off to watch Dr. Who
