Not once did any of those guys JUMP anything, and they had those trick bar things on the wheels, which in my opinion just makes it much less impressive than actually using the wheels. Riding up a TREE and doing several flips is a heck of a lot cooler than doing it on a ramp. Come on.

I was amazed everytime at that...how is his legs lifting the backend of the bike? straps? applied foot pressure....regardless he must be one strong individual.

I think the basic technique for the jumps is start a wheelie, jump extending your body as far as possible to lift the front end of the bike, and then lift your body and use the handlebars to bring the back of the bike up with you.
