Well, at least he's got his helmet on.

I like how he's wearing a wrist brace. Guess he didn't learn his lesson.

He's barely braking 15mph. The cars are only doing about 5mph and the video is playing in fast motion making it look like he's doing 70.

i dunno... the background stuff and a few times you can see his shadow seem to look like real time... and the engine noise is matching the movement pretty well... the vision is not jerking into and out of fps changes..

anyway ... is that really squidding?.... yeah sure in a classical sense... but one could argue the point for attempted suicide!! 

as well as... by the look of it the camera is mounted on the top brow of his helmet??... after seeing a few vids lately with similar positioning .. it really messes with the perspective and sense of distance/proximity ..

where is a cop with a taser or paintball gun when you need one though?...

Well whatever that little bean farter bike is... He pops a few wheelies... I know I know... It's just about balance as much as power.... Gs500 does NOT lift that easy though!

Don't think so: pretty sure the video is playing 1:1, no editing tricks or anything... 
Anything that's shot with a fish-eye lens has that same effect.  Especially if objects get close to it, and that's what this video is all about:
him getting very close up to / in between these cars.

About the speed: once the cars get away from the traffic lights and stuff, they will definitely pull up to a reasonable speed
(5mph?    You sir, have clearly never been around Paris or Marseille in a car...)
He's still cutting through them, once they get moving, so I guess he's doing 70 kph (45 mph) more often than you think in that video.
