quite well done, that...
yeah I thought so too :)
Love the camera angles.
Also liking the trackstand, the scaffoldy flip thing that the skater does, and the legging it down the stairs :D lol.
Very nicely shot!

trackstands - bloody useful techique to learn, especially if you run SPuDs on your bike, i find it a faff to clip in and clip out esp. with SPD-Rs, so ive mastered (in the loosest sense of the word) the track stand (though its obviously far, far easier on a fixed wheeled bike). The messengers in manchester seem to be able to hold the stand for minutes - i bet maxxy can too. ;)
lol! is that whats next... trackstand competitions :)

they are common place amongst the messenger guys down in london, who are into getting together and do barmy events such as that...
like i say they are common skills and bloody good skills to have - especially if the bindings on your pedals are too tight! :lol:
I can do one.. sort of now, was doing it earlier at some traffic lights, mainly because I knew they were about to change. Stop dead and just balance.. bit wobbly mind :D but I can do it to a fashion.

its easy for a few seconds, but to hold the thing for a minute or more (or for a full cycle of traffic lights) is hard - even more so on a thin wheeled roady.
lol, guess ill just have to practice :) it certainly looks cool. :)
Ive never been good at trackstands, tried my dangdest when I was a messenger. I probably dont have as good of a sense of balance as some. Matters little under way, as youve got two huge gyroscopes under ya. :lol: If I get the fixie, it might prove easier.
