I doubt very much he was trying to impress you, He prob did it to turn the “Laydeez hedz” and maybe get a “SKILLZ” comment from an admiring young Kid, If my 11 Year Old had seen something like he’d have been made up.
Followed sharply by a “Dad can you pull off tricks like that” followed by a “OH Why not” i mean, have you tried impressing kids these days on bikes, it takes some pulling off i can tell you, its fine while they are bobbling about on the Greens, but when they get a taste for the Blue’s its not long before they get on the Reds.

I Sauntered past Arc 1800 in the Alps earlier this season and thought as it was quiet i’d ride down the Galvanised staircase to the Cafe, Imagine my surprise when the silence was shatarred by what sounded like 1,000 horses hoofs galloping up an escalator at the same time.
Every table was occupied and although no one actually tried to Kill me they very nearly did as the Cajun Chicken Salad gave me proper indegestion due to the fact that every one just sat staring at me.
Very embarassing, needless to say, 3 days later sat in the same courtyard some bafoon came hurtling down the very same steps and i made a right song and dance about it,
