    My one bike trick is pulling the water bottle out of the rack, drinking, and putting it back in without dropping it. I muffed even that yesterday.

    These guys roll around Edinburgh Uni campus allll the time, but I've never seen them do anything remotely as cool as this.


    Got to love how a wide fisheye can make the steps in front of the DHT building look like they're 30 feet high, though.

    I love everything about this. Including the fact that there's a bike site called ''Tarty Bikes ''.

    Wait, why's this so popular? Riding the top of the fence at the beginning was pretty awesome, but the rest is just pretty standard bike tricks.

    "where's the Harry Pelotas bike trick video?"


    I was thinking the same thing. Let's see your tricks.


    Meanwhile, if I could be 16 again. Sigh.


    The most I did was take flying lessons, and did some aerobatics, with an instructor.

    @misha trotsky: I can't even ride a bike. But then, I'm not on Gawker. You see this stuff on ESPN 2 (or, "The Deuce" if you're extreeeeme like me) every day.


    But the formula for going viral's more complicated than just being awesome.

    @Harry Pelotas: But the stuff on ESPN2 is typically in bike parks with ramps and such made of plywood for riding bikes and skateboards. This guy is dropping 15 feet off the sides of bridges.
