He's riding through Goodwood House, which hosts the Festival of Speed (showcasing old and new cars running up part of the old Goodwood circuit). And that's a trials bike, not a regular dirt bike, or he'd never have made it. But it's an awesome display of riding and control and you wonder why trials never caught on here in the States (it'd be an X Games natural).
That is one of the coolest videos I've seen on yootoob.
I like that Beta and other trials motorcycle manufacturers haven't caught the four-stroke bug. Yet.
Have you heard of endurocross? A trials rider entered one of the first national races last year - and won. He was riding against David Knight among other top enduro racers, his little bike made the course look like a walk in the park.
