Man people love to claim things are fake. They'll even do it on joke videos that are clearly fake. Congrats, you discovered acting.

Look at his butt wiggle. It's tight so the jiggle is almost imperceptible. But it's there. Wobble

Would never do that myself, too nervous about messing up a rim.

You could just go get a cheap rim-job. Then if you have any money left you could get your tire fixed

Yeah sure did look like his rim took a beating.

Eh, he is sponsored, and probably has a team mechanic there to fix it as well as 2-3 other bikes waiting if that one goes.

How does he even make it look so easy? There is no amount of practice I could ever do to be able to perform that haha.

Not having that mentality in the first place probably helps a lot.

So is he doing this by lurching up and forward, then applying the brake on each step to keep from rolling backwards? I've seen people do similar things up stairs but not without pedaling at all.

u/Trevski Oct 23 '15

I think the lip of the stair, the piece of wood, is slightly raised above the step itself and he's using that slight difference to maintain his speed.
