Some good Kiwi music to match a pretty sweet vid
Your mom

Yeah awesome song…… First heard it in the movie "that's it that's all". Check it out

Kyle

Finally a video where the biker actually falls once in a while, proves they are still human. I couldn't imagine some of the serious falls they encounter.

First off I want to start by saying that what this guy is doing is incredible. That being said, I really hope that these mountain bike videos don't become the new dupstep video phase that the chive went through.
Rye Guy

Pretty amazing skill bro

Chive Y U MAKE ME WATCH SAME 30 SECOND AD ALL THE TIME!?!?!?!

Dude from SLC

I wonder how often he needs to replace the breaks on that bike? A rippin' and the tearrin'!

He doesnt have a seat…imagine coming down after a jump and not able to stop your body… a ass rippin good time..

Tanner

i think that is his brakes, and putting WD40 on that would make them loose and useless.

Also, instant coffee? champs dont drink instant coffee! He didn't even finish it either. Waste

Scott

The squeak is the breaks .
Matt

I thought the same thing about the coffee! It must be in Great Britain somewhere, they think a coffee maker is luxury, so everyone just gets instant most of the time. (I know… I lived there for a while) lol. Restaurants actually advertise that they have fresh brewed coffee! In America, even non coffee drinkers have coffee makers in their kitchens!

Matt

After further investigation, it seems that this is in Australia, not Great Britain. but I would assume the coffee situation is similar.

Kyle

hes running a magura hs-33 rim brake. in trials you actually grind the sidewall of the rim to create more friction against the brake pads. the squeak means its all working! i cant go neaaaarly as big as he does, so inspiring!

'Ol Danny Mac is running saint discs now. From my experience with them on my DH, Not sure how you could go wrong with them on a trials. Not a trials rider though.
ryan

impressive, but danny macaskill would ride circles around this dude in his sleep.

Dude

2 different styles of riding, Danny could not pull half the stuff this guy can do and vice versa.
ick

why does everything have to be a contest? this guy has some awesome skills. so what if his style is closer to "pure" trials riding, while Danny is more "street". i enjoyed both. really the only derivative aspect of the video is the structure of the video itself (blame the cinematographer not the rider). both riders are skilled enough to (track) stand on their own merits.

Between this guy and Danny MacAskill's 'Way Back Home' I could watch YouTube all day…
NZ Chiver

Holy Shit, its Parkour on a bike, way frikkin cooler!
bacon_bits

All of Danny's videos are awesome. His latest one or the 2009 one are my favorites.

2:26 – 2:31 Don't touch the lava!
Badwrench

MacAskill is still the best in my mind. Absolutely amazing. The spot where the clip above is stopped is ridiculous.

Hey Chive – 30 seconds is just enough time to mute the frickin' ad and read something else. Not to mention online ads totally turn me off to buying the product.

monocogger

I used to ride trials back in college until somebody stole my bike. bastards!

spork

that's what I'm saying! Danny mac = boss! Most trial riders make their brake pads, at least we do here in colo.

Danny who?
He's good, but guys like Kenny Belaey, Andrew Dickey and Chris Akrigg are trials boss.
My pads are made in Australia, by TNN.
