I usually do a little bit of this. Helps prevent cramps and stuff.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Oj_F9-2ZaA&feature=related

Makes you wonder what his hospital bills were like before he got his balance dialed in so well.

That's at least as crazy as some of the parkour stuff that's out there. Just amazing.

I could use some of those moves when I'm a little heavy on the front brake.

That guy was even more amazing. He took a few falls off that fence but he did make it. That takes an essentially perfect sense of balance, and I am guessing, a significant amount of upper body stregth. These alternative athletes are incredibly entertaining to watch. An added bonus for me was that I spent a week in Edinburgh this past December, and recognized a couple of the background shots.

The guy was on the Scottish news last week he has went proffesional as a stunt rider. I also know some of the places he was doing those stunts and you do not get a full impression of the height or distances involved....couple of years and a few bob in his pocket he will move onto motor bikes like so many of the BMXrs are doing now.
