    I really like the look of that frame and by all accounts is up there in terms of quality and usability. Pricey though for what is effectively a novelty bike.

    the chap he mentions in the video who gave him the idea for the bike is this chap:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leg9iYK-9E0


    and it's worth noting that he'd written about woodelo, the irish company, years ago, so i suspect that's where he got the idea himself regarding ash bikes.

    They have a drone and they're not afraid to use it... cool vid through. I like how drones have opened things up, but I wanted them to follow the rider more instead of swooping off all the time. Fabulous scenery.

    I'd like to know what the kid was doing to get the bike in such a state in the first place.

    Also, I wouldn't trust those handlebars, pretty sure they're going to be suffering metal fatigue after all that twisting

    Wow watch those in 4k if you can, your eyes will thank you. What a stunning part of the world.

    I'd like to think my bike handling is ok/good but I would need the hearse to take me out of there and probably just from the effort of carrying the bike up it once. Did it say how many runs he did?

    It didn't. I think the final edit was all in one go, and he had 3 days up on the slabs. Madness.
    I think I'd need an ambulance looking at it :D

    I've always wanted to go to Shetland, Orkney's, Skye and the Highlands. On the list for a vaccinated future.

    Just throwing it out there, in a form over function criticism, Ceramic speed jockey wheels are as ugly as f*ck.

    Relaxing video other than that.

    My sister lives near the Cairngorms. Got to do some relatively light but thoroughly enjoyable trail biking near Balmoral. Lovely part of the world. It's like a mish mash of Kerry and Wicklow to me.

    Definitely not shot in one go.

    kinda surprised his brakes aren't glowing cherry red by the end.

    Ha yeah they show it at the end, the first thing I asked myself at the start of the video, how many times did it take to land on the rail!!!

    Also I'm annoyed he didn't stay on the train all the way to Hogwarts!!! :D

    That was great.
    Really wasn't expecting to see him get wet.
    Good to see the outtakes - I'd be curious to know if there are any from some of his more dangerous rides.

    that has to have been a setup. you can see he looks down and stops pedalling as if in expectation of the fall.

    also, the surprise of the chap filming seems a little at odds with the fact that you'd assume that he's also come from wherever that chap is coming from.

    Just a note, some of his work is rough as a badger's arse, but the general idea isn't bad

    His cornering at 90 degrees, it's incredible technically, he will be a once in a generation rider he makes that look so easy.

    There are two sections, both right hand 90 degree corners, that I must have watched 30 times. His technical ability is just amazing and kinda frightening.

    I think I'd have destroyed the trousers!!

    To have the confidence and courage to go at the speeds he does into corners is phenomenal, I cycled over a mossy/wet path in the park the other day and nearly had a heart attack when I started wheelspinning :D

    I watched and enjoyed that, thank you.
    Purely by coincidence, after looking at it I was flicking channels on T.V. I came across a documentary about The Secret Policeman's Ball, which featured Sayle. He seems to have mellowed quite a bit with age.

    Wow I haven't heard of Alexei since his TV shows in the mid/late 90's. Videos are great but Christ I'd be confused as **** in places with the road marking and layouts they have there for all road users based on the first video.

    I just recently came across the "Bikes vs. Stupidity" series on YouTube. It's like the opposite of the Alexei Sayle videos.

    It also seems like a really stressful way to live your life
