I need to take up walking now.

Neat.

That's the best vid I've seen in a long time, Pablo...thanks! Combines all elements of fun.

I could do that easily if I was in Spain, had a good bike. and a $hitload more skill that I currently possess.

Good video. Thanks for sharing.

A friend of mine posted this a few days ago on FB; I looked at it then, just as I looked at it here a few seconds ago. That young man is an ALIEN from Planet Macaskill.......

Holy cow, this guy is not human. I didn't even think THAT level of skill existed. I mean i've seen trials champions, but this video just had it all.

sick!

Awesome. Thanks for posting, Pablo!

I'm trying to remember if that's the day I was doubling for Chris on the wide pan shots . . . .

Pretty great riding, D, but what would your sponsors say if they knew you rode a Mongoose in that video? :p Or is that a painted Yeti 4x?

dminor 03-07-11 12:01 PM

Thanks! Ya, it was a camouflaged 4X. For the record, I ride like a hack 99% of the time, just so as not to intimidate the locals. I only ride like that when I'm overseas on photo and video shoots ;).

That was wild

pablosnazzy 03-08-11 10:16 AM

he is actually not really that good. if you look closely, at around 2:55, when he drops 20 feet, he dabs.

Daspydyr 03-08-11 12:04 PM

I saw that dab what a disappointment.

DUDE, I just got the halo vest off yesterday and you post this. Its that kinda stuff (in my small ways) that almost killed me in the first place. I have resigned myself to putting a basket on the front of the Scott and giving the wife's miniature schnausser rides around the park.

That was a fun video.

he is sponsored by mongoose. he rides one in every video he's done. i mean really the frame is the only thing that's going to be "mongoose" the rest is just how nice the components are.
