And I occasionally laughed out loud. Very cool. Perhaps a new sub-category of cycling?

The frame didn't fare very well that first wall drop.

He fixed it fairly well, considering it tracked perfectly down the narrow railing later.

Obviously the wrong bike for trick riding.  Give this guy a bike like Danny McCaskill's and he'd execute almost as well.

I think the point is that it's not the bike, it's the rider.  At a certain point a bike begins to hold back a top rider -but not much.

Made me think... any vids of Chicagoans doing tricks like these?

LOL. I just found out about Danny MacAskill last night, and now this.

I would never have guessed that 6+ minute video was selling cameras. 

He's still a freak.

As remarkable as some of these sequences are, I'm with Joe, they'd be even more impressive on a 70's Schwinn Breeze.

Ryan Leech is a excellent trials rider as well.  He's been featured in several of the bike movies from The Collective.

And Leica cameras at that.  When I saw your post, I was thinking "OK, maybe a Hero, or a Contour, or something a rider would use to tape his/her ride."  But a Leica shooter?  They might as well have been advertising for Domino's Pizza.  RedBull got more play in that ad than Leica did.

No matter how expensive the camera or lens for product placement, I could not ride like that nor any one  i know.

Moot argument.
