And apparently that bike is up on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/Imholz-Reynolds-...QQcmdZViewItem
My friend makes f'ing great omelets; should I be less impressed because a trained chef probably makes a better one? Sure, circus performers can do stuff we can barely dream about, but there's still something to be said for "regular dudes" doing decently tricky tricks. Most of that stuff (in the OP video) was pretty standard, but you (meaning I, and hopefully you agree) have to admit that the backwards circle barspin was pretty neat. (I've never seen it before; if you have, then by all means, be unimpressed.)

Edit: Sorry for being so confrontational. Of course I realize opinions are just that, everybody has one, blah blah blah. I think my points are valid but moot. No hard feelings I hope.
