I don't think this video has ever been posted, but if it has, sorry in advance.

Its summertime and everyone is aching for some snow right around this exact time, mid August is brutal. Like alot of people, i search youtube for entertaining videos from time to time, but this one was introduced to me by a friend. Enjoy

hauling ass through town and cities is one of the best things on a bike. we used to race from the skatepark to get food. hoping over low central reservations, curbs, walls, generally being a nuisance to cars and pedestrians. good times....
