I spent 5 hours on a bike today and the best part of my day is now spending 5 minutes watching someone else ride a bike. Incredible, thank you Marc.

As impressive as that is, the video that really boggles my mind is the one that shows him riding lengthwise across a tennis net. That's just wackadoodle.

He always makes me smile. His continued joy in play makes me happy.

The bike nerd in me also can't help by thinking how cool the bike wheel is whenever I watch his videos. The amount of force it can take along the vertical axis is really amazing.

I was proud that the wheels I built up for my Chumba came through the White Rim in a day and my son's Tour Divide run without needing a true. DM's wheelbuilder must be pretty amazing.

The KB handle ride was very cool.

He always has such a fearless, joyful energy. I sometimes dream that I can effortlessly wheelie and jump a bike like Danny, but that's as close as I come to actually being able to do it!

Grace

He is more graceful on his bike than most folks are on their feet!

I've seen him "perform" in person at Sea Otter and met him after the session.

As incredible as it is to see on video, in person it is mind-blowing. Like going right at a vertical 8' wall and suddenly he is on top of it.

As others have said, a really nice guy to speak with as well.

Someone here has the signed hat I bought at the show.

Excellent video and a truly outstanding rider! It's amazing what Danny can pull off. He really continues to push the boundaries of trials riding and creativity.

Danny's videos always put me in a better mood. Thanks for the afternoon pick me up! Would love to see the outtakes from the video.
