This guy Danny Macaskill can ride a bike.....some what!
Music 'The Funeral' by band of horses
Danny MacAskill, 23, has produced a set of moves including a backflip off a tree, riding across spiked railings and leaping across three-storey buildings.
His mini film, Inspired Bicycles, has had more than a million hits on the video website and has earned him enough live shows and sponsorship for him to give up his day job in a bike shop.
Mr MacAskill, from Edinburgh, has mastered an incredibly dangerous form of Bike Parkour (the art of movement).
In Bike Parkour people use every available urban or rural platform to choreograph a set of stunts.
The aim is to move from one point to another as smoothly, skilfully and quickly as possible.
It's a performance on the street - and no step, roof, railing, tree or bollard goes unnoticed.
"When I walk around I probably see the city differently from most people," he said.
"I'm always scouting out good places to do stunts.
"I'll stop to examine every random ledge."
His move are not only technically difficult but extremely imaginative and artistically carried out.
When he does a smooth 360 degrees while going backwards down a set of steep concrete steps, it's hard not to be impressed.
Some of the stunts are difficult and he's smashed several bones and ripped a few ligaments over the years.
"I've got a pin in my wrist but I've been lucky not to have any serious injuries so far," he said.
"Although now I've said that, I'll probably smash my head in."
Mr MacAskill has been a keen trials biker since he was a child on the Isle of Skye.
Flipping down concrete steps and hurtling off buildings can be pretty punishing on his bikes and he's constantly having to replace them.
"They take a good battering from me," he said.
He is set to perform at the Original Bicycle Festival in Dumfries and Galloway.
He will take part in four separate events with his stunt team 'The Clan'.
People in south-west Scotland can see him live at four different venues at the Original Bicycle Festival which runs from May 9 to 24.
It is designed to celebrate the region's links with cycling including its mountain bike trails and status as the birthplace of the pedal cycle.

WTF? - Syncronized Biking or European Junior Championships Indoorcycling
Dominic Monypenny, my renter from last winter, sent me this link to I guess it is a sport called indoorcycling? Looks like some type of synchronized swimming on a bike for two. In the past I thought indoor cycling was the act of jumping on the trainer (rollers, mag trainer or spin bike) and riding in the winter season to try and stay in shape!
Pretty amazing bike handling skills!
