I taught him how to do all that. Can anyone on here do anything like, and do you have videos?

where's your video's then?
i can fall off
No handed wheelie is cool though,

Its good, but its not as good at the guy from scotland who can go across fences, his flows better and is a bit more skilled, this guy is very good at balancing but its all a bit repetitive,

having said that, i suck on two wheels, im quite good on blades but nothing video worthy, just good at not falling over while doing stupid stuff ;)

I was joking, I can't do any of that stuff. I can get up and down a mountain but nothing like that.

Alex_B, do you have a name of the guy or a link or anything?

[Alex_B]

Beaten to it im afraid but yes good choice picking a different video the one i got was the first i came to and its not as good i dont think :) so wish i had his skills!

[Black.Ghost]

Yeah Ive heard of him before. They are some awesome tricks and some of the hops and drops he was doing are mental! How you even think its a good idea to try some of that, let along pull it off, is mental.

It's fair to say you can see the difference between a pro-rider and the good amateur.

But at which point does the Amateur become a Pro?

when you dont fall off and break things all the time

[Alex_B]

By definition a pro is someone who gets paid for what they do, so an amateur becomes a pro when he gets sponsored :)

pro is when you get paid to do it,
no difference in skill level if someone is realy good it doesnt make a difference if there a pro are amarteur, just means they are making a living of it.
