Finally, an easy way to see over rush hour traffic!

I have to learn how to do this as a victory pose if I'm in a race:

*trying to figure out how to get his seat behind his back wheel so he can dominate reverse 360 competitions*

seriously though, with your weight back like that, its like a unicycle with a training wheel. God i want one of those to play around on.

I'm gonna be honest. I thought it was pretty neat when I learned how to trackstand. Now I realize that I'm a complete ass. DAMN figure biking is cool.

yeah, but lets see them pull half this stuff on a tight ass track bike with a high gear ratio. They probably could... but just with alot more difficulty.

i think in a couple of the beginner videos, i saw some 36hole, high flange dura-aces in the front, but it's hard to tell because they move so fast.

also, shiznaz, your avatar grooves perfectly with "tundra/desert" by modest mouse....it's kinda hypnotic.

figure cycling effin' rules. there's a bit of it in quicksilver, aka, the best movie ever...
