      He's very very good but back in the days of BMX (70s 80s) there were many this good, I suppose BMX were a bit smaller though with lower centre of gravity, still bikes have come on a long way since then, still expect it would be easier on a BMX

      The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

      But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

        Looks good, yet plenty of the MTBers I know do stuff way more dangerous looking than this, during a race and jostling for position too.

              Yes, it is quite good, but for incredible: This guy is blind!

                That is phenomenal. Please tell me you need a specially sprung bike in order to do anything close to this. The heights he managed to jump were amazing. I'm happy just getting up and down kerbs without terminally wrecking my (unsprung) bike.

                    Check out the bit at 1:26 where he rides up the tree! Can i use the word 'gnarly' (haven't a clue what it means but am sure it's something to do with people riding bikes up trees)?
