Danny MacAskill

I received this email today from a friend who lives in Houston who sent this fascinating video to me.

This is what he said..... The video begins in Edinburgh; the only time I've been in Scotland was about ten years ago when my wife and I spent two weeks visiting English friends who live in Newcastle-upon-Tyne; one day we took a day trip from Newcastle to Edinburgh. Our son, who now works for the United Nations in sub-Sahara Africa, once was in Scotland for two weeks. By the way, do you know of the cyclist who is featured in this video?......

I had never heard of this young guy before but looked him up and he has made several videos. They are all brilliant, if insane,his bike is an extension of his body. The added bonus is some great shots of Scotland

You dont realise how gentle he lands that bike, Ive seen numpty's doing that, and smashing back wheels left right and centre, Duggie lampkin doe's that stuff on a trials bike, watched him at goodwood, riding round lord march's house, But i could watch danny all day, Pure ballett, Brilliant, I feel like blowing my tyre's up now, and riding to the shop in the morning, Not

He is amazing and must be a bit insane to do the things he does. Stunning weather he got in Scotland. I wonder when that was lol

The sunny bit was only at the end M.....

That video was unbelievable. I wouldn't have been able to imagine some of those moves let alone try them!
