These stunt videos showcase the fantastic skills these riders have but there is so much danger to some of the things they do and recent events involving Martin illustrates that. Not that I think these videos should not showcase that talent it is just that I don't see the practical application of the tricks and the risk these riders take to entertain us. There is a side of me that just cringes at these videos but as I said they are so awesome in their skills these videos are so impressive and the skills are insane. Backward nose wheely downhill? It took me 10 years just to learn to track stand and I still can only do it on the road because the crown of the road is too my left and the uphill on the Track is on my right. I would have had to learn in England to cover track Standing and road standing to the right.
