Father of BMX?

Well, the tricks anyway... Youtube video of (supposidly) Thomas Edison filming someone doing BMX style tricks in 1899.

Real? Pah, who cares, its fun!

Very nice .. but I watched the video that someone posted in the comments of an elephant being electrocuted ... I'm scarred for life.

Curse my curiosity!

Hmm.. I'd say it's fake.. if Piacular is anything to go by, scientists aren't hardcore.

It's not Edison riding the bike. He is filming

Edit - And Tet - nice find on the elephant info, I saw the same video, but wasn'y as curious!
