   Their parents and girlfriends and also the ER doctors would be absolutely mortified. It is not smart and I am not impressed. One day, there will be a serious accident and it will be too late to review how smart this idea was in the first place. Any responsible person witnessing this kind of dangerous play ought to enlighten these men.

   (I slightly modified my comment after seeing in the largest size that these are not young boys, one has a beard.)

   rwoodworkr: he landed it just fine, and hopped from rock to rock like a mountain goat on red bull. The damage of the day was a pinch flat on the rear wheel which takes a lot of abuse. Their trials bikes are crazy light and rigid, with no seat.

   A still photo does no justice to these guys’ skills (though that’s a fine photo, Steve)–you need to see the whole succession in action. Their balance and control belies belief.
