Following Dr. Cloke's example of submitting videos of 'dancing the urban' on two wheels, I submit two very different videos: Danny Macaskill's exploration of a post-industrial landscape and a promo video for videographer Lucas Brunelle's DVD on alleycat racing. Can't say I endorse the latter's glorification of selfish and dangerous cycling but there is some very exciting footage. The Macaskill video is very different in tone, and quite beautiful (in my opinion).

These stretch the definition of dance, but I challenge anyone to watch this Parkour (freerunning) video and this BMX freestyling one and say this isn't dancing the urban...
