the could tear up a downhill track with skills like that.

Hehe, you don't tend to have someone on your shoulders when manualing while sitting on the handlebars on a downhill run!

I know someone that used to do bike gymnastics when she was growing up in Germany. As she puts it, she can (or could) ride a fixed gear bike on perfectly smooth ground really well, but that didn't quite transfer to riding a normal bike. In fact she did a little bit of MTB here in Sydney until having a nasty off which involved a badly broken wrist.

It seems that a lot of the skills they have are pretty specific to doing the balancy stuff you see. The bikes themselves are pretty unique too.

That said, it is amazingly impressive.

Did anyone else notice the UCI banners? What's the background of this event?

Yep, they call it Indoor Cycling.
