Hmmm !
Insane, there's so much more to biking than just getting out there and hammering trails !

The skills there are and some of the bikes / riders are akin to couriers in London !

It certainly looks interesting,

Not knocking any of the skills, but I thought the vid was a bit dull. I reckon it would have been better without all the slow-motion. The very last bit at "normal speed" was so much more entertaining. Still, hats off the them tho'

actually looks really cool love to give it ago.

I wonder what sort of bike whould be best.

I reckon the low geared big BMX type thing look best, reasonable acceleration and good stability. But the top teams seemed to be using the courier type bikes.

Cut off club hand bar end, no need for it at all and make thumb activated rear brake lever Mick Doohan style. Game looks shit but I almost want to go and build the bike up. Jump bike, 24" wheels, ss. Awesome.
