Thread: Gotta see this guy ride a bicycle

Tweet

YouTube - Danny MacAskill - "Way Back Home"

This is a 'fun' one to watch. The guy can make his bicycle do things I never though possible. It's in Scotland - Edinburgh, Glencoe and the Isle of Skye, mostly. If you have ever traveled there, you'll want to return after seeing this (maybe someday again for my wife and me)

Enjoy

Wonder if they ever did a "whoops" video? I wonder where the seat and it's post went?? ROFL...

Yeah, that guy's amazing! Note no brakes, direct drive forward & backward, and some of those drops!!

Evolvo, you're correct, I was not looking closely enough at the bike! Here's a link that shows some really good closeups of his bike details - disk brakes front & rear, and I cannot figure out that derailleur! Danny MacAskill | Bike Check - Pinkbike.com
There's mention of a Bloopers clip, but I did not take time to look for it...

Roger - I followed the link and found a short video of a couple crashes - the one on the dam piping - ouch!!

If you watch the original video I posted, there is one short shot - he has what looks like a huge bruise on an arm

Unbelievable,that is very cool.Have a bunch of riding buddies that have to see this.thanks for posting
