Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

So, is junior high going well for you? Other than a slight resemblance to Matthew Broderick, I didn't notice anything noteworthy. I was really impressed by his skills - and you know he had to take a lot of falls to get that good.

I don't even want to think of the number of times he must've taken a hit to the jewels.

I thought you weren't allowed to touch the ground in a flatland competition.

+1. Starts off pretty lame but made me want a trick fixed gear and some preppy clothes by the end of it.

Well, he does seem to match the audience. Maybe he wears bluejeans and a baseball cap and puts a big ol' chaw in one cheek when he's not in France. Come to think of it, if Larry the Cable Guy could do all that bike stuff, it'd be even more impressive.

Pretty spiffy, but why is this in the Road Cycling forum? I can think of many other that would be more appropriate...Advocacy and Safety for obvious reasons...BMX...Car Free Living as there's no way he can make enough doing this to afford a car...General Cycling Discussion...Singlespeed...or even the Tour de France forum, n'est ce pas? But Road Cycling?
