"A Film By Stu Thomson"
I havent heard the name Stu Thomson since like 1983. The guy was a BMX superstar back then.

[Pigman]

Stu..........I Loved RAD

[tls25rs]

Holy crap, I had a set of those stu bars with the v shaped cross bar on my Redline. Wow talk about figuring out you are getting old.............

Damn, went back and watched the video, this kid continues to amaze me. I've watched all of the links for his videos that have been put here and some others I have found and this one was impressive. Riding a bike across a cable, wow! You have to wonder if there is a video of the "almost made it" attempts out there somewhere. Some of the stuff he does in these videos had to have been done multiple times to get the successful run. Awesome to watch regardless.

Dude has Mad Skillz!

[Kazinator]

Good to know I am not the only person who can do this..........

[The Snowman]

Crazy stuff. Balancing on a cable is ridiculous!

I wonder how many times a day he has to:

1) replace wheels or at the very least

2) re-true a wheel

He also has this video with 12 million views

I thought it was a BMX Pro Cruiser, the frame shape and wheel size look very close to my pro cruiser.

Disk brakes, zero offset forks... urban trials.

These bikes are not like your bmx bike haha. The first time i rode one i almost fell because of how the geometry is on them and the newer bikes all have hydraulic brakes on them. Flipped me over the bars first time i applied front brakes haha. im no expert and sold mine after 2 months with it but they have very short ratio gearing, light as hell and made for crazy stuff that guy does.

Try one and you'll see he makes that stuff look as easy as putting butter on your toast.


His old bike

There we go, I wasn't sure if I saw a deraileur hanger on the bike in the picture.

i very much enjoy them.

its a chain tensioner... not sure if thats what you meant. most trials bikes dont have shifting mechanisms, but would be nice because you pedal your ass off to move 20 feet

Chain tensioner mounted to the deraileur hanger.
