Damn that is nuts! Cant believe he was able to balance himself on the top of the fence. I would've fallen off walking across it. Does this guy just do this kind of street stuff or does he actually compete in BMX freestyle events?

Regular trials guys usually use 19" wheels. Looks like 24" wheels to me. I have a BMX Cruiser that's very similar to that. Low slung stiff frame. I'm sure his is more specialized, probably totally custom at his level.

Awesome rider, graceful and artistic even.


Check this out.. Xavier Collos.. has at about HALF as much to work with

I dunno if his new vid was posted sometime last week, but who cares if it's a re-post, eh?

freak-of-nature riding ability + picturesque landscapes = A-freakin'-MAZING! indeed

I love watching this guys videos as it really makes me want to go get a BMX bike again.

Since this was asked earlier in the thread there are 3 different styles of BMX bikes it seems like.

Jump
Street/Park
Race

Granted Danny probably has a pretty customized bike at this point, but I think he is riding more of a Jump style BMX bike IIRC.

BTW - He rides for Inspired Bicycles.
