Pedal power vs engine power videos

[toxicated]

In this thread there's a drifting video which is pretty impressive but Twincharged posted a video of Danny MacAskill's cycling skills which is incredible.

I guess an engine based version would be just about anything from Ken Block

What else do you have?

An engine based version would be Dougie Lampkin, although his style is a little more traditional. He practices on push bikes as well.

I think for this sort of concept it really comes down to style v substance. The driver/rider has to be completely on top of their machine of choice to an extent which seems unbelievable to mere mortals, but at the same time there has to be nothing added just for the sake of it.

I'd agree that Block's videos are impressive and are popular even amongst non-petrolheads for his unbelievable antics, but I think the showboating bits ruin it slightly. Adding gimmicks like paintball guns and fluorescent tubes etc. aren't really necessary, and detract from the main event; why do you need to add extras when the raw product is that good? This I think is the beauty of the Danny MacAskill video; it just speaks for itself.

As for the engine equivalent, I'm not really sure- anyone?

Wow that guy is good at riding a bike. How he has any teeth in his head and elbows etc left I don't know. Someone has put a comment saying it's all fake in the comments. No matter what you put there, somebody will always say that.

There was a chap outside the student union in Sheffield the other week.

There are a load of concrete "globes" that he was busy bunny hopping up and down. Impressive stuff.

Cracking video as well.

Yep, I reckon either Dougie for competition trials stuff http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtZs8kAdhtg&fea...

Or someone like Travis Pastrani for freestyle motorcross. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQa3mnXawF0

ETA: And how could I forget the Purple Helmets? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJyzxHGM2YE

and of course the classic "Arab drift" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJMWWE9C9aU&fea...
