So my Wife was Watching "America's Got Talent"

[goodvibe]

And this guy comes on and is riding a bicycle doing some cool urban stuff. It was awesome. He was jumping off 10' high walls and stuff. It was crazy. He rides some odd bike without a seat and with disc brakes. Anyone ever see a bike like that?

It's called trials. That's one of my homies from back in the day. Go vote for him!!

Watched again. It was crazy. The only bad thing about it was the cheesy Vegas dancers in the background. I wish I had balance like that.

There is a much better known (and better edited) Danny MacAskill video on youtube, but I'll get crucified if I dig that one up again.

1:10 time line is the best of the whole video. That is just pure sick-ness! These guys must have balls of steel...... or none at all. They 'show' no signs of fear. 😕

That guy is crazy. The hop across the stream is pretty cool.

I saw the episode of contestants going to the finals (watched is on Hulu) and it sucks that he did not go, but again, the people they chose were greatly advanced in their respective fields. Hopefully he gets much needed recognition after his exposure on AGT and my wishes are with him.

If you've not seen it already, search for him on YouTube +band of horses.

Hats off to Jeremy. The guy did a killer job in a contest that heavily favors singers and musical acts. I've seen Jeff (Lenosky) do his thing a bunch of times, and while Jeff is pretty mind-blowing he takes the same setup with him to demos. Having to plan an exciting routine lasting 90 seconds, and develop all the obstacles in a week or two is crazy. Add in the fact that the American public generally has no clue how insanely hard even track-standing is and it's awesome he made it as far as he did.

Hopefully, like Jeff, a bike company can fully sponsor Jeremy to continue to push himself and ride for a living. Hard to tell much from NBC, but he seems like an all-around decent dude.
