The definition of 'balls'

Sign in to disble this ad
I humbly submit a definition of balls. In case you ever needed to know. Here you go. I love how the dude just laughs after some of the stuff he pulls.

No soft landings there, brilliant skills, the dog - 'Yeah, I'm sure I saw someone eating some chicken on that doorstep yesterday, I'll just have a quick sniff aroun....What The Thackery!

'Dirt Spineology' what an amazing run that is, I haven't come across the Cliffs of Mohan vid before, that's got a different edge to it indeed.

Some of the trickster stuff in this is quite full-on, I like the forest wood track parts, soundtrack can get a little annoying ; )

Yeah, very cool. Now, I'll admit I will NEVER do anywhere near that big of a gap, go that fast, etc. but the night surfer dude w/the lighted suit(did I hallucinate that one?)stomped this one.
There's one on FB of *A hill in Spain* that's similar but has more trials-type stuff & IIRC is longer- I'll try to figger out linking it.

I'm 20 years too late for that kind-of learning, I don't bounce so well now.

This guy has similar style to Chris Akrigg, Danny Macaskill, you may have watched this before, street trials stuff, balance of a cat.

Even with all my experience in off road motorcycling and trials riding, I would NEVER want to attempt that course. Holy crap.
