I saw this on Cue TV the other night and figured it would be on youtube somewhere, sure enough here it is..

Apart from the amazing ability of the guy on the bike which in itself is pretty mindblowing it's the filming that is also a work of art..
Some of the very subtle slide shots are almost so slow you don't notice but very effective.. the crane shots are, without waxing to poetical, almost a ballet of camera and rider..
The cameras catch the landscape beautifully and the music spot on, I reckon it's a work of art..

Hope you enjoy.. Oh and make sure it's on fullscreen..

I found it hard at times to stop watching the dude on the bike and study the way it's shot.. Some of the crab shots are so slight, maybe just an inch or two but they just subtly add so much to the feel.. You don't see them if you look at the guy, for the tiny details you have to focus on stationary objects..

the only thing I'm not a fan of, never have been and that's fish eye even if it's slight.. :(
