Let me preface this with a disclaimer. I know zero about biking— of any kind. I couldn't name a rider other than Dave M. or Matt H. That being said....this shit is crazy. Songs are perfect. Editing is tight and flowy. Riding is the deal.

So stoked, wanted to post it. Sorry if it's a repost.

I remember seeing this before on here, but I believe I was drinking at the time and I don't remember it too well. 

Mad good video.

I must have missed it.

I found it on pink bike...which, I had no clue was a biking forum. I noticed a handful of people cited it as a favorite website in another thread, so I googled it out of curiosity. Peeped the video section, and this was the first thing I watched. Totally blown away.

Amazing creativity...such a fun vibe. I couldn't help but think of Meathead's stuff. Filming angles....editing...style of jibbing, etc. I watched all of the bonus chapters from Wanderland yesterday as a result. Anyone that enjoys urban/tech jibs, peep the Wanderland bonus footy, and scoop Head for the Hills. Random plug, I know.

Sorry to whore this thread.....but YES!.

The song is a Gangstarr track, I believe it's on their album called Moment of Truth....which came out innnnn......maybe '98? Obviously GURU is not referring to our lil kiwi bud, but he says it goddamnit.

My buddy Matt and I realized this during a drive up to VT for the Dew Tour.....we both got a kick out of it. Thought we were crazy...

wow, that was pretty progressive biking there.... i was thinking about it and the best part about that would be how easy it would be for them to not get caught, on a bike that they can hop fences and shit. no cop could catch them

Empire of the Sun - "Walking on a Dream"

The whole album is excellent, though it sounds practically like a MGMT cover band.

Here's a link to the torrent:

I love this vid, great street riding.
I just noticed though, at 226 or 227, its a incomplete shot, so the guy didnt get a perfect run and they stitched it together. The people were at that place he manualed around, and in the next angle, they were gone.

Guru says JOSEY WALES, not JOSSI WELLS!

Apparently, Josey Wales is a Jamaican Dancehall/Reggae DJ.

Also, Clint Eastwood was in a 1976 movie called "The Outlaw Josey Wales". Based on a novel of the same name.

That dude is a freak of nature, and his riding is definitely way more tech and "wow" factor, but for my money, I think those other dudes have a lot more style.

The dude in the vid you posted comes across as a stuntman/urban ninja to me for some reason....definitely dope, but for some reason I think the riding in the other vid just looks better. Maybe it's all the hopping around on one wheel.....just not digging it as much.

That's probably the biggest reason I stopped following trials.  I will never question these guys abilities, but it lacks the flow and style BMX has.
