Riding that fine line...

... between mad skillz and death wish...

Mad skillz, no doubt.

think the helmet is waring him for it's protection

Nice to see him ride before he DIES

It has to be those shoes. What are those - the equivalent of Pilotis for mountain biking? If I had some of those shoes, I could do all that. Maybe a bike that comes apart would help.

That has NOTHING on this:

I think you missed my point... MacAskill is brilliant... the model is trying to out-brilliant him by teasing death...

ya, but riding 6' (poorly) on a railing over a cliff isn't nearly as gnar as flipping off a tree :D

All the times he was up in the rocks I kept expecting him to hop/ride down the rocks. He just did one jump then quit :cat:

Exactly!

You know I haven't REALLY hurt myself on a bike in a while so maybe I should take up freestyle ::Bike::

What kind of rear hub do those bikes use? Sometimes it seems to be a freewheel hub and at other times the riders seem to be pedaling backwards as if it is a fixed hub.

google trials bike.

Freewheel only works when rolling forward... if they roll backwards, they have to turn the pedals backwards, or they'd stop.
