By now you know I’m a total sucker for this stuff, street trials. I’d gladly trade any skill I’ve got with the keyboard for the mind-bending talent and balance it takes to do these particular stupid-human-tricks.

Charlie Rolls, apparently the number 1 ranked trials rider in the world, does that thing that Hans Rey and Martyn Ashton and Danny MacAskill and Chris Akrigg all did, which was make you go…”What?”

This is third in his recent series of street trials videos. Enjoy.

Robot fell in love with cycling watching the older neighborhood kids ride wheelies down the street. It was the early '70s, and Evel Knievel was jumping motorcycles over buses. Everything seemed possible. From that moment, the die was cast (iacta alia est).

He studied philosophy in college, of course he did. That's what idealists do, romantics, kids who think there must be a better way. At the same time, bikes were carrying him everywhere, delivering all of life's gifts and surprises. Occasionally he crashed and didn't mind.

      @Tom – Not crazy. Not from my POV.
