Yes it is impressive to see people doing tricks on bicycles, BUT it is more impressive to see bears doing tricks on unicycles.
edit
This is much more impressive because humans are bipeds where as bears are quadrapeds.
Bears on unicycles used to be common before animal rights groups banned circuses.
Now you can still visit Europe and watch Lipizan horese strained to walk backwards on thier hind hooves.

Don't get me wrong, these people are awesome and super talented... it's just not the same as someone doing this on a regular track bike. It does kinda make me want to setup a 1:1 bike to screw around on though!
