Danny MacAskill street stunt rider - I can do that

[kyuss]

Was that Edinburgh? Looked like it.

It was indeed. He's from around here I think. That backflip off the tree is insane. The bit at the end is quite funny too when everybody comes over to the railings after he jumps, no doubt expecting to see some blood and bones just to see him riding off.

I've seen some stunt riding before but that takes the biscuit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[badkitty]

Just amazing. That tree...wow.
Truly inspiring stuff.Thanks for posting the link.

Not sure if it was him, but at the end of the Pedal for Scotland last Sep there was a demo of trials riding. It was like watching ballet; incredible balance and fluid movements. That youtube vid is just amazing, and I ended up clicking on more of the links. What control.

 

[Paulus]

Great control, but I bet he has wrecked a few bikes on the way

 

[magnatom]

Bloomin' pavement cyclists.....

Blimey that was pretty amazing stuff

The tree flip was amazing. I hope he makes a good living at that, as it is truly a skill and must take amazing amounts of practice......and pain!

YeGods! Astounding.

Gawd I wish I was talented. Awesome skillz, as they say on the 'street'.


I was on blackpool prom a couple of years ago (near theElgin/Gynn) and there was a bunch of kids on trials bikes hopping about on the 'cliffes'

'Go on, do us a drop off' I shouts at 'em.

One of them did.........about 12 feet............



Bent both wheels on two and snapped his frame. He was OK though.

So is it Edinburgh or not? Looks like it to me but one of you chimps must live there and know for sure?

I'm not a 'burger but I recognised a few places in edinbuuurg

P.S. Those bikes must be pretty well built to take that abuse! No carbon I would suggest!

It is - details in today's cycle-hating EEN.

Are you as thick as your own droppings?

Read the info next to the pigging video and also what Kyuss wrote

Aluminum and very light, big tyres, especially rear and a BB guard plus other specialist bits and pieces.

Dude was on the Scottish news tonight, he's a, Edinburgh lad right enough. He's taken up stunt riding full time now! Way to go :0)

 

[vavatch]

He is from Skye but lives on Leith Walk in Edinburgh now.

Seems he has to take ibuprofin before every ride due to chronic pain in his wrists from years of trialing.

Suffering for his art, you see.
