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

It's easy to land those jumps when your testicles haven't descended yet.

Seriously. I flinched each time the kid hit the ground. Yikes.

Say this or that about that kid, he will be good when he gets pedals. That was pretty cool actually. I recently saw a kid on a wooden version of one of these, but his looked like a road bike. I think it was at the Tour of Elk Grove last month. He was going fast as hell on it.

uhhh.... he needs to flip it?

Cool vid. My dad took the pedals off my bike when I was a kid so I learned to balance the same way. Except I never tried anything like this little guy.

Delinquent.

Nice aero position near the end on that descent though.
