Jo Burt has spent the majority of his life riding bikes, drawing bikes and writing about bikes. When he's not scribbling pictures for the whole gamut of cycling media he writes words about them for road.cc and when he's not doing either of those he's pedaling. Then in whatever spare minutes there are in between he's agonizing over getting his socks, cycling cap and bar-tape to coordinate just so. And is quietly disappointed that yours don't He rides and races road bikes a bit, cyclo-cross bikes a lot and mountainbikes a fair bit too. Would rather be up a mountain.

Wish they hadn't cut out him 'landing' that 360.
[*NB I cannot do these tricks. I am not as good as him either way. This is just the comment of an envious man]
Love that, Not that i'm going to go out and try back flips, I tried that on a BMX once and landed on my shoulder
although i've got plenty of air on jumps on a drop bar road bike thats not be modified in any way. Its quite scary though

That is cool. I wish there was more footage of him shredding the trails.
Professional rider. Closed course. Do not attempt.
Uh, OK then.
you'll also need a road bike that magically morphs into a cyclo-cross bike, with a saddle-dropper and flat pedals
a bit like the once Lance had...
How can you tell? I struggle to make out the details and at least looking at the beam shot seems to be clipped in with overshoes and all? At one point the fork does look a bit round, but could be the angle?
I'll think you find that the magic came in small phials
What's with the hating? Its far easier to prove guilt, rather harder to prove a negative yet no one even started a case. So until someone actually even starts a court case I'll give "cancer charity fundraising machine" ($53m given to various causes in 2010 alone) the benefit of the doubt.
