Desultory Thoughts

I’ve received this video (actually what you see here is only a portion of the video I received, but I can’t find it in its entirety on either YouTube or Google Videos) as an attachment in my email now a few times from different friends who know I’m interested in this kind of thing, and every time I watch it I’m amazed.

At first I thought it must be camera tricks or something (especially when he’s riding on the railroad tracks and jumping from one track to the next) but then I saw a video of him doing some tricks at some bike show demo [video.google.com]. He’s just really good!

It makes me look really stupid, what with my full-faced helmet.  I wonder how many times Ryan has crashed?
The video that I recieved in an attachment is entitled “this dude can ride.wmv” and it’s 3.7MB.  I guess I might as well host the file since Bluehost just upgraded my bandwidth for free.  Let’s see if we can’t put a dent in it.  I thought the video and camera work was very well done.  But the tricks are what really make the video.
