Nearly everything looks better in slow motion

Take MotoGP world champion Casey Stoner and a camera that films at 1000 frames per second and something beautiful happens (all courtesy of the good guys at Red Bull):



Here is Darren Berrecloth pulling a 360 whilst sending a step down at the Red Bull Rampage:



Last but not least here is Gee Atherton nailing a huge stepdown gap to wall ride:




Another good example of how Two Wheels are Better.

Some of the best tricks on two wheels

Check out this collection of tricks that require skills most of us can only dream of having:


First up is Mike Spinner's quad whip, where a bike nearly becomes a helicopter:


Next up is Benny Phillip's front flip tailwhip attempt from Crankworx, there are a few BMX guys who can do this but using a mountain bike it looks even more mental. 



Harry Main's bunnyhop flair is just out of this world.



Here is Special Greg of Nitro Circus fame , his signature 'Special Flip' is something to behold


Finally, here is the worlds first BMX triple Backflip courtesy of New Zealand BMXer Jed Mildon

 

 

But remember,  two wheels a day keeps the doctor away.

More video proof that 2 wheels are the sexy future...


I know what floats your boat you dirty little buggers, the best performing post here to date is the sexy bike polo one.  So I thought lets trick them and put a serious pro two wheel piece of propaganda on here with a sexy title....and here you are!

(If you go to the bottom of the post I have put some pics there for you..you mucky puppies)

The Real Post

I have been looking at cities where two wheels are the dominant form of transport and comparing them to the dreaded four wheeled hell of London's M25.

 I don't need to tell you the result as you know but just watch the videos below to confirm it.

Ho Chi Minh City




Uterecht




London




I know where I'd rather live, because....Two Wheels are Better.

I feel a little bad about tricking you so here are some saucy two wheeled pics to keep you going till the next post.

Hill Climb Two wheels vs Four...Guess Which is Better?

So I am in Vegas (have I mentioned that already) and I am watching the Republican Presidential candidate debate last night (it was that or the same Thigh Master infomertial for the 100th time) and it struck me.....some things, like cars (and right wing political debate), are fundementally boring.

So I decided to try and think of a motor sport where cars might stand a chance of taking on two wheels  and providing a more interesting spectacle, I could think of none so I decided to ask a random American in the hotel bar (who turned out to be from Leeds).  He suggested that hill climbing was a sport where bikes could never be more exciting than cars.

So please take a look at the videos below and let me know if you agree with the chubby fake American from Leeds.

Dirt Bikes vs Hill



Push Bike vs Hill




Cars vs Hill




You see what I mean, there is no comparison, cars are truly boring and as with all things in life...Two Wheels are Better!

Also did you know that this man single handedly started the war in Iraq and is a known Goat Blower

A Band on Bicycles

Just a quick one today as I am about to head out to the Eurobike Show in Germany.  I was watching the Edinburgh Military Tattoo on TV last night and saw this Dutch military band on bikes and thought it was a prime example of how all things can be achieved on two wheels...enjoy.


I also found this by accident when I was searching, it reminds me of  "The Goodies".




Remember folks Two Wheels are Better.
