You gotta admit the skill level is there and it interests a lot of kids in cycling. Unfortunately it puts a lot of them in the hospital as well. Kinda glad this didn't catch on until I was too old to do it.

I watched somebody attempting some trial moves on a public water fountain. He seemed to be on the very beginning of the learning curve. The results looked painful.

Great bit. Great rider. Thanks for the link.
For the confused, hucking refers to the big jumps and drops while the more precision stuff is usually called trialing.
