wow! they are good...but they're riding fixies!! the heathens!!
yeah pretty cool stuff.
Yes.
They didn't really use the bike-ness of the bikes much wheelying the whole time. All of those moves would be fairly easy on a unicycle.
This uses the bike better I think:
I've been riding flatland BMX for a number of years, tho I've not ridden it for a long time time (combination of enjoying MTB more, work, and getting older).
Flatland is often compared to "artistic cycling" (I think thats what it's called?)
Here's the last video I made of myself riding, 4 years ago now. Crikey.

I wouldn't quite go that far - would love to be able to say "I could do that", but I'm not really competent riding backwards yet. Being able to ride a uni doesn't mean I'm great at wheelies, but given they were on fixies it is pretty much the same thing, and the skill involved in doing that is pretty similar to riding a uni. A lot of half decent uni riders could do that given a bit of practice (there are levels 1-10 for uni skills, I'm about L3, I know a few L8-9 riders and that routine was about L5). If you've seen the things freestyle uni riders do (or even Chris' flatland video above), that was kind of unimpressive and boring.
