That's the sum of awe 😀
Talking of riding down hills backwards -
Akriggs bit is mostly woods by Saltaire, Bingley section of Leeds - Liverpool canal. Me old riding area - miss it! Used to see him out practising.
some info on the making and updateish on his condition

Chris's bit is actually Ilkley moor (specifically the Cow & Calf rocks)and his old stomping ground, Shipley Glen.
Canal bit is the Three Rise Locks next to Damart in Bingley.
It is without doubt in-f***ing-credible. Inspirational guys who seem to just ride for the love of it rather than for ego, money or fame. They seem like the best kind of people as well as having super powers!
Watched it on my telly last night and laughed out loud at the brilliance of it all. Great stuff, brilliant ideas, brilliantly executed.
Amazing video. I'm curious why we aren't shown the front flip landing though. Bubble wrap to avoid busted wheels?
Spent most of the vid laughing like a drain at the sheer awesomeness of their skills.

Cant get this to load properly, but then I cant find it even by going the long way around on the site, has it been removed or something?
I hope Martyn gets better soon, but even if things don't get much better I'm sure he'll be doing back flips in his wheel chair before long!
treaclesponge +1, not even a google search of the site exposes anything, is it for registered (paid) only users?
BTW excellent video, thoroughly enjoyed the Danny & Chris's contributions to finish it 😀
Nice article by bike mag on the whole project...

Shared with a few guys at work only to link to "road party part 2" starts with a girl in a small bikini!
The bit that got the most admiration was the fakie nose manual.
I can't even ride that fast down a hill on two wheels on the road bike, never mind one firkin backwards. Great stuff. GWSMA

😯 Blimey. 10 extra points for the flat cap.
I know it's already been posted, but generated no discussion, so worth sticking on the end of the original thread
...and nice to see I was right about one bit, 21:46

Maybe, it's certainly possible to take really good footage from a quadcopter - I was trying to make out from the audio, the backing track does seem to be selected there to mask any rotor noise. Though from the layout I think it would be possible to do with a hand held - convenient gap in just the right place.
