This guy is so enjoyable to watch.

That was great, thanks for sharing. I always enjoy his videos.

[Dired]

Excellent, thanks!

[redir]

For anyone else who is confused make sure to start the vid from the beginning ;)

Awesome stuff from Danny as usual.

[David Tollefson]

Nice!

[Steve in SLO]

Great and creative, as always. What a talent.
Thanks for sharing.

[Blue Jays]

Danny's outtakes and behind-the-scenes footage at the end are always funny.
He is probably a complete hoot as an individual and undoubtedly loves to laugh.

:banana:

[Tony Edwards]

Thanks for posting! His exploits are just amazing, and he has a great infectious energy.

[Elefantino]

His bump-front flip over the fence in "The Ridge" is still the greatest stunt I have seen on a bike.

[XXtwindad]

Those guys could market that workout. Start a new craze and make a mint.

[nalax]

Thanks! I like his version of indoor training.

Looks like Danny got a new blue Santa Cruz carbon trials bike. Even better than the original orange one (https://www.santacruzbicycles.com/en-US/danny-macaskill-trials-bike). I wonder if these will one day be for public consumption.

The 360 spin on the parallel bars is incredible.

I wonder if these tricks were improvised wrt adapting gym equipment or if each trick was planned out way in advance.

My kids just discovered him on youtube and we've been binging all break. They'll love this

[vqdriver]

3:00 tho. Lol!

[Keith A]

Thanks for sharing. I wonder how many takes they do for each trick?

[pdmtong]

I've seen him do some of these things in person (sea otter).
Like Ryan Leech, you see it and still cannot believe it. Like going right at a 6' wall and hoping up on top of it.

See 1:10 for the north shore inspiration of the slack line trick

seems preternatural. I'd not come close even if I put 10000 hours on a bike trying such

[parris]

The thing that I've seen with his riding and videos that ALWAYS shows is this "glee" that just comes through. That and how he'll break the 4th wall as if he's inviting us along.

[rcnute]

Watched it with my five year old who's (slowly) learning to ride, he dug it!

This is it exactly. He not only is extremely talented, he seems to truly love what he is doing. I would like to sit down with him and share a beer or two.

I saw the clip originally on Santa Cruz's instagram feed. Someone had commented asking if they would be available... Santa Cruz replied saying there is no plan at this time and these frames are just for Danny.

Danny is amazing! Surfing the YT links after watching this and stumbled onto Fabio. :eek:

I need to learn his door trick at 0:54. And there's a skateboard bit for William at 3:00.


And for the skiers out there:
