I know. There's a couple of scenes where crowds of people gather at the top of something he just jumped off, obviously expecting to see him splattered at the bottom of a 15 foot drop off, that kind of sum it up best. I also like his bike maintenance skills in the early scenes!

All I can do is a bunny hop.:p
Heh, it's been posted around these forums many times, but I can't help but watch it through each time I come across it. As someone who couldn't bunny-hop over a dime with the help of a ramp, I find trials riding to be amazing, and especially this guy.
