New Danny MacAskill video on Youtube

He's so fun to watch. That drop off the roof of the red steel & glass structure looked painful.

That first drop was insane. Had to be at least 15ft. So many tricks there but I loved the one where he parked the e-bike.

He brings levity to peril. It's mind-boggling.

[AngryScientist]

It's great to watch because he makes what appears impossible seem effortless.

Amazing.

I love watching his stuff buy wonder what his joints will be like in a few years.

In his prime in 2009

Dude is 38 now. He's been through a lot but is keeping on going. As for my own personal experience in amateur bike racing 38-40 was when I really started noticing I'll probably not be a top ten ever again.

What i find amazing is that he is 38yrs old and doing this stuff - nuts! I would think trials riders active years of crazy stunts is very short and usually much younger!

When I was going to UBC years ago, Ryan Leech was riding there. If you dont know him, he was like Danny McCaskill before social media was so powerful. He was considered the top trials rider of the day along with Jeff Lenosky. I watched him bouncing from one concrete bollard to another and they were probably 8ft apart - it was amazing. He also rode on a chain that linked the two bollards.

All that to say, he did not have the budget and publicity that McCaskill has. It is amazing how Danny makes a serious living doing something this - and making people smile.

As an aside, that is one killer school. No budget in the Canadian educational systems for buildings like that

The joy part is what I enjoy most about him.

Just to make you feel a bit better about the edu system in Canadia, this 'campus' is for gazillion dollar sports company Adidas. Apologies if you knew this and were just making a funny.
