  Incredible, my first attempt at any of those and that skinny rim would be akin to a Taco

The outtakes suggest that he may have had the same experience a few times during that shoot:)

I'm sure that clip had several segments to it, I guess I missed the outtakes. I'm an old fart cruiser, went from a 24" to a 26" and now I'm riding a 29'er and all I ever think about when riding is landings

 Then on the same token at my age I don't get near the air I did two frame sizes and twenty years back

There have been several films in the series. BikeRadar initially sponsored them I believe and they began as a promo for one of their meets with Martyn Ashton flogging the bejesus out of a Pina Dogma.  Things seem to have taken off from then.

Inconsiderate heathens! How do they expect you to be motivated without bike vids?
 
There is clip in there of the making of the vid as well.

I've always kinda been sketchy about using one but I finally gave the lefty a try and it's pretty awesome. As a super clyde the idea of a one sided fork made me nervous but ends up this is the stiffest yet smoothest most compliant fork I've ever ridden. I'm definitely a fan and don't see myself riding anything but a lefty in the future (other than a rigid on my SS). One of the things that helped sell me was that they are completely shop rebuildable unlike some others that have parts that have to be sent back in or you have to have very expensive proprietary tools.

Physical, as well as mental!
 
When I was going through a difficult separation/divorce, I rode ~ 60 miles/week both on and off road which
acted as inexpensive mental therapy sessions. Very therapeutic!

Well mine was bacterial endocarditis with a right-side stroke and aortic valve replacement.  I'm working on getting the strength and dexterity back in my left hand for those bicycle and motorcycle controls (I am, of course naturally left-handed).
