A wheeler on x'mas night!

24th December 2008, we were on our way back home after vigil night holy mass. I saw a young boy doing wheeling [isn't it that called so?] on his bike. I was seeing something like that for the first time and i couldn't believe my eyes. I really got scared that he might fall down but he was good at it. A week later i read in newspaper, the tragedy happened to a teenager who was chased by police for doing wheeling on public road. He by chance ran into the army premises and was shot dead by guards. I feel sorry for him and wonder is he the same guy i saw on road the x'mas night!?
