All I can say is WOW! I can't imagine being able to do this on a bike. Heck, I can't even manage a trackstand!

And she was rock solid, too.

Thanks! THAT was fabulous.

Impressive~!

If I could do even 1 out of 10 of what she does, I'd be a local legend :D

Really awesome! I am always amazed by people...it's enough for me to pay attention on a 25 miler much less any of this.

that just blew my mind. Unbelievable, the things some people can do. Can you imagine the balance you have to have to do that stuff.
Wow, just Wow

Amazing!

I always wonder how people get started on the path to doing this sort of thing. I mean, did she just one day think to herself, "I wonder if I can pop a wheelie?" and it just grew from there?

WOW. Did you notice how slowly she was going? Just think how much harder that makes all of her balance stuff to do!!

What amazed me was her ability to steer through all that!

She is straight as a pencil. Amazing what you can do with incredible balance, a really really really clean floor...

Never realized that a track bike and a unicycle had so much in common.

It's a real sport, there are clubs - one in my hometown. They also play bicycle ball, did you know?

That is amazing! I can't imagine even attempting any of what she did! The balance and stability. Wow!

Wouldn't it be cool to whip out just one of those tricks on a group ride sometime? I was sort of thinking the one at the beginning where she flipped around the handlebars...

WOW! Her thighs and abs must be made of steel.

Wow - that is amazing. Thanks for posting it Susan.

LOL - Nanci is right imagine saying I just need to stretch a little and standing up on your handlebars.:D

I have an old bike laying around that is calling to me...First I hear on Zen and the Art of Triathlon how riding a fixie turns you into the superwoman of hill climbing, then I see this...
Nanci

I'm studying it- the reason she can do all that front wheel manuevering is because there are no cables...

I would like to know what kind of chamois she uses- iron mail?
Nanci

She doesn't need a chamois- she's never on the seat!!! (And did you notice the weird shape of the saddle?)
