I thought gravity and balance was a universal challenge 

A+ for the movie makers

Go to the 2:15 mark.

Thanks to that video, I now know what a seiche is. Thanks kop. 

Hell, I could do that on my Mom's old 3-speed Schwinn (with front basket).  

Damn....  

The old guy in the beginning was the subject of a short documentary released last year.

Thanks to that video I now know that, apparently, I suck at riding bicycles

Eh, not so much.
He looks human, but it's all some shape-shifting trick.

One of his recent videos, where he was going *backwards* downhill, around a corner, balanced on the front wheel.
At that point, I concluded that he was a cyborg from the planet Bikemoto.

I watch him do stuff, and I've no idea how he does it.
He seems to violate the laws of physics while exerting an effort level akin to what most folks do while walking.
I can't even create a process in my mind that goes further than to just to start those maneuvers.

I taught him that move.


But I forgot the memory card for my GoPro, so you'll just have to take my word for it.

I think what we don't see are the countless attempts
At each trick before it was perfected.

Still, mighty impressive.

Im not even going to look.

That was beautiful.  Massive talent.

Although there was a time when I could jump half as high, drop half as far and do half a back flip myself.
And I could look every bit of half as good while doing it........

25 years ago I was a pretty bad ass mountain biker and never had half that much talent.  Thanks for posting that up.
