Excellent bike control    I've seen this guy, Ot Pi, at a number of indoor World Trials events over many years and he is amazing too

yeah right.    ...... you do lead a rather sheltered life  don't you Steve

These youths may not have the same budget and props but fundamentally what they are doing is the same.

Those kids are very good, and probably learn their skills escaping the local plod on stolen bikes   

The comparison is that the props used by Ot Pi are the very same actual obstacles used for the indoor world trial championship which I can tell you are extremely scary

Well if you dont think its special, you need to open you eyes Mr wolf, the BMX is a specific type of bike specially designed to do stunts. The 3 guys are on road bikes specifically made for road racing, not stunts of any kind. just pure skill on 20mm tyres no 360 head turns, tackling seriously rough terrain not smooth curved plywood . I wonder if the BMX boys could do the same on a road Bike, i am sure the 3 guys could do the BMX, and if going down a seriously steep Decent ( is that Hardknott pass ) on the front wheel is not special i don't know what is.
