I dont get how one on a bike can fall/jump from such a high place and not break anything (bike or bones), at a height if not on that bike would of surly broke a bone or two landing. That said thanks op that was cery cool to watch. Some crazy stuff there.

It's actually not htat hard. All you have to do is make sure you land on your rear tire. Then your mas and hte rest of hte bike act as a big shock absorber/sping.

I've never done trial, but I've done mountain biking (single track technical stuff) when I was younger. Landing a jump typically requires you land on your rear wheel and nothing more.

Yes its not incredibly hard to do, but there is a lot of technique and balance required. Basically the bike becomes an extension of your body. Think of it as extra knees, you leverage the whole bike to soften your fall. The really impressive stuff is balance and precision. There are tons of videos out there, if youre interested there is a whole lot more to watch.

That's some mad talent there. Good stuff. Bleh on the music though.

uhh dont think that landing any jump on the ground is the same as landing on the back tire on a beam while balancing for the next hop.

the music stops towards the end of the video... wtf, crappily remixed into an extended video.

other than that, I like how they maintain balance on thinner ground and all the jumping.
