You should see how fast the cars go then

3 minutes 20 seconds - HOW DID HE DO THAT ?!

 

[reckedracing]

i was wondering the same thing last night

 

[asmallsol]

ha I had to watch that spot three times to see what you were talking about. I kept watching the other guys. I would think about that on a BMX bike, but I doubt I could pull that off with a road bike, no less ever have the guts to pull that off.

 

[Celerity]

only thing I can think of is, he picked up his feet, put his right foot on the bus, the left on the hood of the car, and threw his bike over the hood, and jumped back down.

This is neat, but in France those LeParkour guys do shit like this for warm up.

i just watched that 8 times in a row and don'
t see anything at 320... ????

he pinched between a car and a bus in such a way that it seems impossible

The camera guy, that is.

lol, are you kidding me, its not that close, there is atleast a foot or two between the car and the bus, he is just leaning.

plenty of room
the sharp right at 4:10 was a more challenging move
