Best display of balance I think I've ever seen. Very talented rider.

Where do you get those bikes that keep peddeling after you stop?

I can't help but wonder how many falls and crashes it took to learn to do all those stunts.

I didn't care much for their choice of music.

I'm pretty sure she was riding a fixie.

Fixie would make sense. But my jaw was dropped for almost the entire video! Would make an excellent trials rider

I've done moves that like, though most last only a few seconds....and usually end with me stuck in some branch, a bit of blood, and bikeless (hahah)

Seriously, that is talent!

This video is a fake! You can see the pedals moving which never happens on a real bike.

And, she's not wearing a helmet. It's CGI, kids. All hail the mighty Industrial Light and Magic.

Next you're going to show me a clip from Cars and be all, "Dude, cars talk now!" Sheesh.

As per above post, she was probably riding a fixed hub bike. Hence, if the hub/wheel is rotating, so are the pedals.

I dunno, that sounds fishy to me. A fixed hub bike. Hmmm. I've shopped at a few bike stores and all they have are freewheels and coasters. I've never seen one of those, so it might as well be the Loch Ness Monster! They call that bike the "Nessie." Fixed hub. Bah.

I refuse to believe that someone can ride like that. It's a FAKE!

'Course, maybe she was riding like that but how hard can it be on a nice smooth surface like a gym floor? I'm sure! Do that on a tech downhill trail and you can color me impressed then.

[size=1]People, I'm just kidding. They're jokes. She can ride. It was a cool video.[/size]

Oh, yeah, I believe it now. It's on WIKIPEDIA. It must be true.

What kind of fool do you take me for?
