I my gosh! I'm a big bike fanatic and thought I had seen it all. Freakin' awesome. I have a bike setup pretty much like his (but with battle scars). I don't get as crazy as I used though to as I have to be able to provide for a wife and three girls.

Goodbye knees.
Same song. Different legend – Guy Mariano in Lakai's Fully Flared video directed by Spike Jonez!

Not as impressive as Void's post, but looks like seriousfun. I've always wanted to go for some rides on the North Shore up in B.C.

Really it was all about the song. And while I can't imagine doing a treeride rodeo flip out, these two are too different and not really comparable. To me, a backside tailslide TO frontside tailslide is utterly impossible to fathom. Guy Mariano is a skater's skater. Nuances and difficulties that probably only a skater can go "wtf" to.
Similarly, I present—The Boss. Andrew Reynolds in his skater of the year vid full of switch 360 flips and all other kinds of horniness.
And then there's Danny Way's pure talent. Worthwhile vid even for those who don't know what's going on.
