Just how much skill does it take to do something like this? Rear tire slidin' and smokin', knee down, and throwing in a thumb up salute for good measure.  I can't imagine even thinking about attempting something like that. Riding technique? More like ungodly talent. Just another day at the office though for Ruben Xaus...riding a new Ducati Hypermotard for a media day.

Now there's a biker. What a photo

Before everyone starts applauding I want to see the next few frames.....I have some spectacular pictures of myself performing sport skills well beyond my abilities but the next few frames tell a different story:)

If I had to put cash on it, I would wager everything that anyone would be willing to cover that the next frames are more of the same. This guy is a wizard! The key is that you were performing "...well beyond my abilities..." He isn't!

That video was awsome!
I go to parties, sometimes untill 4. It's hard to leave when you can't find the door.

That's the difference between you and me compared to guys like Ruben Xaus. We're mere mortals, he's not. Riding like that isn't beyond his abilities, it's a normal day at the track for him. 
Here's a youtube clip with a few frames after a thumbs up by Xaus on a different motard.
