I'm not an extreme sports guy either, but it's just so weirdly enthralling. I want to say it's like an episode of Jackass but with a purpose, but that really doesn't do it justice. It's just loving interesting to watch a guy whose only goal in life is literally "I want to jump higher on my BMX bike than anyone else" go about doing what he does. Our reaction to that kind of life might normally be "well that's loving stupid" but seeing how much joy he gets out of it, and how much work he puts into it ("it" being "going high") it's pretty hard to doubt the legitimacy of it.

Also some of his (100+) concussions :stonk:

I really enjoyed this the first time I watched it but I put it on again a couple nights ago and I couldn't watch it.

Not because it isn't enjoyable, it's just after you've seen it once watching a guy try to kill himself on a bicycle for 25 years is just not a fun time.
