  • THE BEST BIKE STUNTS OF YOUR LIFE

    29 Apr 2009 by Seth Rotherham in Cycling, Sport, Video

    A couple months back we brought you one of the funniest ads of your life, featuring a BMX that a guy was selling (here). That has nothing to do with this article, other than the fact that it involves a bike of sorts. I just mentioned that to, you know, bring across an air on continuity on these esteemed pages.

    So today I have a video I was sent featuring a guy doing urban stunts on a mountain bike.

    You gotta check this out..

     

     

    That was none other than Danny MacAskill.

    Wikipedia tells us:

     

    Danny MacAskill is a stunt cyclist who released a five-and-a-half-minute video on YouTube on the 19th April 2009, filmed by his flat mate Dave Sowerby. This film has attracted massive attention on the internet and is a form of bike trials.

    As of 21 April 2009, Danny, a twenty-three year old from the Isle of Skye, had been practising for more than 12 years. He gave up his job as a mechanic so he could ride full time. He now lives in Edinburgh. He often listens to music while riding.

    Danny draws a lot of skill from influential riders of the trials scene including Martyn Ashton, Chris Akrigg, Mathew Street, Michael Judson, Kenny Wilson, Fraser McNeil and Brian Bleech.

     

    Interesting name he is sporting there. “MacAskill.” Would make a good name for a new line of free-range Macdonald rump burgers – The Mac Ass Kill.

    In a nice way.
