Now that is some serious balancing skills, and some serious set of brass ones!!
I also would like to know how many rear wheels he goes through in a week!! He has to either have custom one smade of ChromeMolly or bent the crap out of them on a regular basis from those heights!Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

He's really talented, that's for sure. I've seen that one somewhere before, can't remember where. Two wheeled human power is one of my passions.
Here's something that is going on right now in Battle Mountain Nevada, it's the 2009 World Human Powered Speed Challenge.

I had a dream once that I could do that sort of thing on a bike...It didn't turn out well.
In the 80's, Mammoth Lakes, in the eastern Sierras', used to have a Kamakazi ride down Mammoth Mtn. The qualifying used to be over this enormous rock pile. I don't think you even had to turn over the pedals to go through the course. All balance. The ride down the Mountain took onions.
