Still keeping true to freestyle, this form of cycling involves many scuffing, spinning, rolling, and hopping tricks while balancing on only one wheel of the bike for a duration of time. Many tricks may be linked together to form links - and some may last for as long as 4 minutes at a time whithout the rider's foot or both tires touching the ground.
