Amazing video: I wouldn't try this on my Zong!

Perhaps I lead a sheltered life, but I have never seen anyone ride a motorcycle like this before. I am amazed. 8O

Happy Thanksgiving!

Wow! That has to be one light motorcycle! Even so, that takes a lot of skill to not kill yourself!

Trials bikes...some of the most amazing riding out there, but is not overtly spectator friendly, so is not as popular as it should be!

Thank you for posting the links, Phil!

I think the saddle on my Zong is more comfortable than the saddles on those trials bikes!

Phil, will you share a video of yourself jumping from boulder to boulder?

P.S. I believe it takes major cajones to climb up, and ride down, the steel arches of a bridge! 8O

i'll get right on it, you do promise to send flowers,, right

i do good to cross 1 at a time but then thats why they have diffrent classes. just for the record my "old, heavy" gas-gas weight is under 170lbs. and has no seat, its really good for keeping in shape. but this past year i havent had any luck, im not sure yet if it a health problem(s) or a lack of me admitting my age :P but im still thankful im above ground and it could be worse. when all is taken away we then realize what we lost. and it thought thats what happend to me, but was spared, things i hope will be better next year, look at how Job was rewarded, i didnt go though near as much but im just hoping to be healthy enough to play some

i guess this should be in the Thanksgiving post, but shouldn't we thankful every day, sometimes we forget how much we have, and who we should thank for it.

That's some amazing stuff. I don't care to ever go across a bridge that way, but I wish I could scramble up steep terrian like that.

Julien DuPont is noted for his "urban" stunt riding. However, if you like to "scramble up steep, natural terrain," you should check out the following video clip.

I almost got injured just watching those kids! 8O

I guess those guys don't need ramps to get in the back of their p/u trucks.
That's pretty impressive stuff.

I have tried on bicycles, but my balance is not good enough. I really think it would be fun though.
