Freestyle on a road bike
I’ve never seen any videos doing freestyle on a road bike until I saw this video below. This guy performs some crazy tricks on his bike.

Look up Peter Sagan - he does some pretty rad tricks on road bikes. He's known for doing a wheelie or other tricks at the end of TdF stage races where he's not in the hunt for a stage win.
And does anyone recall the British ex-BMX'r guy with all the videos, including using road bikes to do off-road stunts? I can't think of his name, but he gave a thrashing to a Pinarello Dogma a few years ago.

Road Bike Party is awesome. Though it has become quite a genre of the years since all of that stuff came out. Not to say I don't love it all and still watch those videos but it has become right popular and lots of stuff has come out.
It is quite amazing when people say they are underbiked and you see these folks doing what they did on road bikes or even cross bikes and you are like "damn, my ass would have crashed as soon as I saw the dirt" Heck even watching Danny Macaskill doing what he does on a mountain bike or trials bike is still mind blowing in a sense.
I was chuffed when I could stand on my top tube on my first BMX bike that was awesome (and I didn't learn a ton of tricks beyond that and never went further).
