whether or not this was deliberately created to be a viral video, it still rocks… i could not tell at any point that it was fake

I don’t think it was fake or that the Guitar Hero people had anything to do with it, but I’d love to kow how that LED thing on the front of the bike works. I think maybe they use some kind of microcontroller-based thing (like this) which has a special version of the MP3 track which they encoded with data to activate the LEDs at the right time.

What I’m saying is, I don’t think it uses the markings on the floor, as that would be much harder to do technically… Plus the guy goes off course a couple of times and the lights still light up.

Completely off topic of course..!
