On the rocks!


We went out for an evening stroll along the sea front last week and were treated to almost an hour of unexpected entertainment. A professional stunt cyclist arrived on his saddleless bike and somehow 'jumped' himself and the bike onto the sea walls........then scared everyone by going off the wall onto the rocks below. Considering we didn't know who he was at first, everyone was concerned for his safety. However he explained that he did this for a living and was there to practice after recovering from a fall a week ago!

Thought you may like to see some pics of him in action.........



















Almost at the top!




Preparing for lift off to land on the wall on his back wheel only.....




He must have had amazing balance and strength in his arms and legs to be able to jump his bike up and down the uneven rocks like that..... and not come off his bike once!

Some of the rocks were very jagged, many people would have a problem climbing them let alone riding a bike on them!

He obviously had solid tyres or he wouldn't be able to keep pace with the punctures!
