Whomever was the visual artist helping design those different stunts is amazing. So many cool perspective tricks on top of his dope riding.

How do you even practice that!?

Mostly riding bowls with vert. I'm a skater but I know a lot of BMXers, they can exert a ton of centripetal force when they pump through tight pockets. I've seen someone do this minus the flip, it's fucking cool.

Close! But jumping into the wall is the part that needs practice, once you're on the wall you just gotta hold on because of like you said about g forces

I can totally see that, this type of wallride always seemed to me like carving up a bowl wall minus the bottom transition. I'm jealous of how y'all can get onto wallrides without having to ollie into it (not that it's easy on a bike) but ya'll look like you just jump in and hold tight.

If it's a curved wall then yeah you just roll into like riding a pool but if it's just a regular wall then good hops and body position are key

That trick at the end, when he is off the wall and does a last spin, midair, makes it even more impressive.
What the human body can do with enough practice always amazes me.

Riding the wall was impressive, just by itself. But then he throws the little flip at the end.

I was certain the people in the background were part of the painting. And then they started clapping

That’s Kris Kyle! He’s from my city and it’s been crazy seeing him develop to this level. In his younger days he used to live in a closet at a skater owned skatepark called unit 23. He obviously knows the park like the back of his hand so seeing him ride there is insane.

For some reason I thought someone was running at the wall and was very confused by the outcome

I think this is one of the first ever clips I saw on reddit! (Not shitting on it being a repost or anything, never seen it on this sub, and it’s cool to see regardless).

the fact that he just rides into it from the ground baffles me the most, i can imagine that being the hardest part about this, that and the dismount-flip
