Bike Trials (not trails) Riding

This guy is pretty incredible:

From the description on YouTube:

Filmed over the period of a few months in and around Edinburgh by Dave Sowerby, this video of Inspired Bicycles team rider Danny MacAskill features probably the best collection of street/street trials riding ever seen. There’s some huge riding, but also some of the most technically difficult and imaginative lines you will ever see. Without a doubt, this video pushes the envelope of what is perceived as possible on a trials bike.

It’s the kind of thing that I shouldn’t watch before I go riding.

Apparently this style of riding is called Bike Trials (not trails) Riding.  I had seen it before but I never knew what it was called.  Here’s the wikipedia article about the style.

If you click through to YouTube you can see a lot more videos from these guys.
