Through this video deserves a look. Not only is this guys biking incredible, but the filming and visual imagery is top notch as well. 1080p it.

Yeah, that was beautiful...and the bike control was ridiculous!

Check this one out. The production values are outrageously inferior but the riding is just as demented.

Danny Macaskill is the man, this is one of my fav's I posted in the biking thread a few days back, amazing control, like a ballet dancer on rims,

The other biker I dig much time is a guy called Rowan Sorrell who's more DH'er.

Here's a clip of the 2010 Red Bull Rampage,

His 1st video inspired (ironically he rides Inspired bikes) me to run out and get into street bike trials like him(except at a sucky level). I have ridden motorcycle trials for years and I am pretty good at that. Anyways...Almost as fast as me running out to get the bike, I was in the emergency room getting stitches. Me Ms's was none too happy.

Heres his 1st vid.....

Is it bad that I found the music more exciting than the action?

Not IMO....if you don't ride it just looks like some nutcase trying to ruin his body and bike.

The music is great...the producer knows his **** and he certainly helped BOH with their exposure.

I was kind of bummed there wasn't more documentary stuff... all the hype was about him finally coming back to Scotland, and all we got was an extended video part.

The riding was top notch, as always, but c'mon!
