    Seems like a lot of effort for what it is. But still, nice pic.

    climbed with ropes and then hopped on his back wheel with and without safety line to set some Guinness World record.

    Impressive. You must get a great buzz from doing something like that.
    Wow great ship man. Looks like a fish, flies like a fish, steers like a cow.

    Except he had a safety line on and someone sitting behind him holding it.

    Now Everest takes skill.

    He had a safety line on first and then took it off to do it again. :roll:

    Erm. I don't get it. What exactly was the record?
    Doesn't seem any more dangerous than what Hans and Peaty were riding in Ireland.

    It can't possibly just be the most consecutive hops on a bike. I've seen Martyh Ashton and Hawyes do more than he was in that video, with my own eyes.

    I wish I could do more than that. I can manage about 7, then lose the balance. My rather crappy excuse is that I'm doing it on a full suss :lol:

    well a selection of HT's both flat and spd, living in a city and being a bit of a wanna be trials rider (in waiting of his trials bike, if my mate ever gets round to posting it...)

    so i can usually manage a few.. im not amazing, but om a good day i would like to think i can manage quite a few, not on ashton levels, but 20-30 would be average.
