dont get me wrong im have every respect for MX and the like who can take a powered item and make things happen but i cant help but give more respect to guys who can make things happen under there own power, do a tube search on danny macaskill ( i know i have covered this guy before ) but check out what these guys are doing today, not only the control and ability but the technology in the bikes that make our ol' bmxer look like apple carts, i mean check out the 3.10 mark when he does the flip off the tree roots at a hieght the SX guys on a short run, and towards the end suss out the hits these rims on these hard tail bikes take, my old mx girl's would bend flat on a 2m drop never mind these 10 mtre spins and drops.

Never surprised by the things this generation can do , but always inspired by them :D

check it out his new stuff and then revisit the old clips too

i just love that stuff and agree that some of these guys are super talented.
