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 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!

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 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. If I get the fixie, it might prove easier.
