His trick bike videos are probably the most artistic out there. They tell a story, especially this one. It’s not just a series of bike tricks set to loud music.
The 80s music is kind of odd, but I guess it indicates that he grew up during the 1980s. Almost sounds like a song from Rocky III or Rocky IV.
(At the same time, I can’t help but think about the physical toll that his riding takes on him. He frequently drops down long distances and lands hard on the bike. While the tires cushion some of the force, his knees, back and shoulders also take a hit. In a different recent video, he said that he has been injured for most of the past two years. The injuries were so serious that he was forced to have knee surgery. I’m not sure how long he can continue to perform like this. But while he is still in one piece, he sure does make entertaining bike videos.)
