@ 9 seconds the rider has a S on his helmet which is the logo for the bicycle company Specialized. I wonder if they are getting into moto parts? Looks awesome Blake thanks for posting.

Ben Spies has a pro cycling team here in the US, that's why the Specialized S is on the helmet. The team is also sponsored by Yamaha http://www.benspies.com/page/elbowzracing
Lots of the riders use cycling to keep in shape. It makes sense; it burns a lot of calories to keep you lean and it's a major work out for your legs and core, which you need to go fast on the track.
Ben's the first one I've heard of that does it professionally too.
I've tried hard to get into road cycling but I just can't. My gf and her dad are very into it but I just can't keep up. After reading the mountain bike threads here on BadWeb I'm all about some trail riding. I just realized my specialized mtb has the same blue and white paint scheme as team Elbowz.
