I hate them nearly as much as I hate that guy who endos all the way down mountains, because I can never have one iota of their skill  :'( :'( :'(

They really are incredibly good  :) Hurts to even think about the pain and falls involved in training for that...

Did they win?

I for one welcome our German Overlordsladies.

Impressive stuff, still haven't got the hang of fixed in any way myself and can't conceive of the strength and balance skills they must have to ride like that.

It's been posted before, but it's worth watching again for a dose of "How the %#@ do they do that?" ;D

I'm not sure I could balance someone on my shoulders standing still, let alone whilst cycling backwards balanced on one wheel of a bike!
Actually, it is rocket science.

I would love to see them doing that on a public street.  The gobs they would smack!  Amazing.

(And I hate to think of the falls they must have had in training).

I've seen it before but that doesn't detract from it's awesomeness.  The no hands backwards wheely with sister standing on shoulders is quite incredible.

I bet you wouldn't catch either of them wobbling out of their their trackstand at the traffic lights.
You are in a maze of twisty flat droves, all alike.
