Watched him last night on a tv programme called "Concrete Circus". He is without doubt the best cyclist in the world.

He only started riding in the last few years too :)

This is simply not correct.

If you watch concrete circus you will see the crazy trials area he had built in his back garden when he looks about 8 years old.

His body control and apparent sense of spatial awareness are mindblowing. I wonder how well his spatial abilities would translate to other disciplines.

yes I think you're right, I was in the same high school as him and I am sure I remember him having the bike in school every so often, although I dont remember much these days.

Seen a few of his vids in the last few days and have shown a lot of my mates who don't ride and everyone says the same thing....

Oh.... My..... God....
 
This guy has unbelievable bike handling skills but what he does in this video makes me think he's a little soft in the head! WOW!
