I've been that drunk.
But seriously, I may be the same nationality as that guy, but I'm not sure I'm the same species.

My favorite shots are the ones where he goes off a building or whatever, and in the background you see all these people coming to look and see if he's splatted himself.

Wow, that is insane. I could never even pop a wheelie as a kid, I can't even imagine what would possess a person to attempt some of these feats.

The bits where he just hopped himself and his bike off a bridge were what floored me. I wouldn't do that on my feet, never mind on a bike!!
I recognized parts of Edinburgh. ![[Cool]](cool.gif)

I'm very impressed!
But I couldn't help thinking that, to perform those stunts, the pushbike would not only need to be a fixie but also it must have independent front wheel drive! ![[crazy]](graemlins/crazy.gif)

It's absolutely fixed, but I noticed an insanely clever trick in a related video - he's actually /walked/ on the front wheel on occasion to move it!
