Or maybe you're a cyclist, not a circus performer?
Didn't know this was a thing, pretty crazy balance/control:

That oval racing looks like a hoot. GMBN tried it vs GCN
I think people forget about the fun sometimes

If you want to see Danny Mac try to ride Viola's bike. The on-location content starts about 4:25 if you want to skip the hotel vlogging

I had just seen Danny MacAskill for the first time a few weeks ago, someone showed me one of his Redbull videos, ridiculous control. I thought of him when I started watching these "artistic" riders. Super interesting to see how different it is for Viola with fixed gear (belt drive) to Danny with freewheel and insanely good brakes, both incredible.
