Fuck me. It seems like the rear wheel even breaks traction? How the hell could you hold that?

He should find some of those guys that mock 'chicken strips' on the side of bike tires, show them the grind marks on the side of his wheels, and punch 'em in the dick for not being True Bosses (tm).

edit: can't stop watching. I'm pretty sure that he IS spinning the rear tire. And he's countersteering. How does he straddle the bike with those massive balls?

Steering a bike at ANY speed IS countrsteering :D And he's not straddling the bike at all...he's hanging off the seat (counterbalance to the effect of countersteering). Turning 101 ;)

Tail feathers are different. The one in the gif has three distinct stripes.

They come in different colors, not sure you can ID them like that. They do swoop around like that though. Had one dart out of the sky and grab a mouse in my backyard the other day.

It's not the color, but the pattern. Every pic I've seen of Peregrines tails, the pattern is highly flecked or lots of stripes, not the three dark stripes as in the gif.

Can we get past the freaking bird species you dorky dweebs???

My birder friend says

Definitely an accipter -- long tail with WIDE bands. Also, dark petagials. I would guess Sharp-Shinned Hawk or Cooper's Hawk (for North America) a closely related accipter species (for the Old World).
