I really want to see Poopie and the Clown do this at the next Challenge!
I just became a lot less impressed with my friend who rides BMX. And he's good.
Seriously, how many times do you have to fall (hard, from six feet off the ground onto your friend and her bike, into a twisted pile of limbs and metal, with a handlebar going someplace it should never go) before you learn how to do that?
And leave it to the Germans to take some badass bike stuntery and turn it into a regimented, uniformed showcase of group precision and discipline. In the States, this would be sponsored by Monster, flatbillers for participants, and Limp Bizkit for a soundtrack. Not that that's any better then patriotic leotards.
I now expect every fixie rider to have this ability, otherwise they're just pretending to be German girls in leotards.
That video is amazing...
Speaking of fixies, here's a funny video about bike geeks that includes some parody of the whole hipster/fixie fad:

Word on the street, though, is that the vid is a viral piece for Perf. Bicycle. Still funny...

Amazing indeed. It would be interesting to see what either of these girls could do with some practice on a 20" in a US-style flatland comp.

This was the skater spoof of the fixie thing--a bit wittier, IMHO.

Most hip-hop-based comedy doesn't do it for me. No one's rap abilities seem to go beyond 1985.
Still--I hate hipsters. Wow, do I hate hipsters.
