Brilliant skills but I'm not that keen on the editing.

Amazing talent there, and a great watch - although I didn't find the video as entertaining as some of MacAskill's stuff, such as "Way Back Home".

He is always going to be compared to Danny, to be fair, i think danny is better.

GregCollins, I was talking cycling as this is a cycling forum. Note if you can read back I posted both positive and negative remarks to give balance to my post, where as you just try and get a higher post count.

+1 Mac is the man. Although the OP ain't bad.

This is just astonishing.

Indeed. He does a lot more balancing just on the front wheel than I've seen others (Danny, for instance) doing.

Wow, some of the stuff MacAskill can do with a bike is amazing.

If we are going to talk unbelivable... then we have to mention danny hart.

'HOW DOES HE SIT DOWN WITH BALLS THAT BIG?'

It must be nice to be young, fearless, skilled and immortal, and the broken bones heal so much faster, too....

Without doubt it is extremely clever, almost artistic. Trouble is when the muppets try it all you get is mashed up walls and damaged railings etc. along with plenty of hospital bills that some of us contribute towards.

The guys who are really good at this must have started somewhere and the things you describe are unavoidable if anyone is to get that good. I don't mind contributing to an nhs that will look after people even if they are injured doing something like this. I think it is a perfectly reasonable thing to be able to provide and our country is better for it. At least when people need patching up after doing this they have at least been involved in something creative and productive and it can perhaps be weighed against the benifits that this sort of sport has for the economy so I don't really see that your complaint is all that valid.

in other words, 'give it a rest yer miserable get'.
