Wow - now THAT was a different type of tour of Edinburgh wasn't it? Absolutely amazing (glad to see that he was wearing a helmet too!). However.......now having second thoughts on that Mongoose trick bike that is stashed away for my adventurous and daring young 9 year old for Christmas....... will have to show him that video for sure when he's home from school!

 

NatalieB, so if you show him the video--will he want to try it???

 

hehe, well, he does all kinds of stands, jumps etc., now.......but just about to show it to him so will let you know his reaction!

 

haha, just shown it to them......comments are 'mad, maniac and isn't that illegal?' lol - but A was impressed with the skill!

 

well, I say make sure the health insurance is paid up and he's wearing a good helmet.

 

haha Redstar - yes most definitely! Actually, back home it's the law that if you're riding a bike, you MUST wear a helmet.....so we've always been strict on them riding with helmets - no helmet, no bike - plain and simple! Think I'm going to have to wrap this particular kid in bubble wrap though - he's quite adventurous and daring...........but luckily not clumsy, stupid or accident prone! (yet......)

 

Eee, eh? The lengths you have to go to these days to avoid getting told off for cycling on the pavement.

All those shortcuts and he was still late for work.

I think he needs some new glasses, he rode into the same tree several times.

Man on bike: "I never did like this bike that my parents bought me, if I could just break it and make it look like an accident they might buy me that new games console I was after".
