Hah. I was going to go digging for some of those videos but you found them first!We went to see Cirque du Soleil's Saltimbanco show last night, which has an Artistic Bicycle segment. Great stuff!
I'd be happy if I could do a handstand on a large, flat, non-moving surface.

This makes me want to get a fixie. Nevermind the fact I'd need a lot more help than just the bike to become an acrobatic-cycling-dancer-gymnast.
From this year's European Junior Championships:
Female pair: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b36Yi-Pb1wM
Solo male: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1t3oyL0ihk
aaaand bonus (maybe from a different competition?)--6 female unicyclists!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyIaxYzurdI

I watched the female pair. That is amazing. I usually don't have the patience to watch stuff like that all the way through, but I couldn't turn it off. I kept thinking how the girl "below" must be amazingly strong. And how the "upper" one must have total faith in her sister.
And I was touched to tears (well, sniffles) by the end. They seemed so close, and so happy.Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin

They should go on America's Got Talent, or maybe whatever country they are from. I'm completely amazed.
