Some awesome videos there guys.

I'd say the winner is

because not only content but superbly made, real class went into this video.

Followed by
big trucks, big jumps, bulk bikes it's all happening to a pumping soundtrack but reeks "big budget".

Yeah Ekka, he's sponsored by redbull.

HOly Fudgemonkeys!!! that Danny guy is AMAZING!!! Awesome balancing skill. In the beginning, ridding over the top, ALONG the top of the wrought iron fence just blew me away.

I've mentioned that I'm an admin for a gaming clan, some of the guys there are in a freestyle bmx group, I'll see if I can get links to some of their videos. They'd be jazzed if they knew I showed you. They arent AS crazy as Danny, but they do some amazing stuff.

(edit: grandma's gonna get me a picture or something of 16 people on one bicycle...this should be interesting)

Enjoyed them Ken, those boys are good.
Respect to anyone that can do those kinda jumps.
Love the "Bails" vid, learning hurts!
Good bail at the end of the 3rd vid.

I did a jump on my mountain bike a while back but overshot the down ramp and landed on the flat (no practice runs, DOH!) and came off. Hit the saddle pretty hard, bent it, then hit my head and shoulder. I'm too old for this.
Cracked a couple of ribs 2 months ago after pulling the bike back too far over a little jump and landing on my arse and back.

I'm out to get me a bike like Dannys!

How old is that Eric?
Another good vid here.
He's not even got any sort of suspension on that bike!
