 I love how nonchalant the bystanders/pedestrians are about a dude doing freaking acrobatics on a bicycle in the middle of town. If I'd see someone passing me doing a wheelie on a 10 feet high wall I'd flip out!

 I love that too. When i'm cruising down the street people give me shitloads of space for no reason.

 As a trials rider I appreciated that as well. I am not sure why but people will purposely get on their cell phones or look in a different direction rather than acknowledging someone shredding on a bicycle. I guess it is slightly comforting that this phenomenon also happens to Danny Mac

 I wonder if they're just like "oh it's that guy with the redbull helmet again....whatever"

 European pedestrians much be so used Danny doing his tricks that they don't even acknowledge him when in action. I'm sure they are thinking, "I'll just watch this edit in action when it goes viral on the internet." ...or better yet, they are thinking, "unless it's posted on social media, the tricks I am seeing right in front of my eyes don't count."

 Or the woman at 1:04 who's on her phone. She nearly touches him and never looks up. WAKE UP Danny MacAskill's right in front of you and you didn't even look!!!

 Never underestimate a British persons ability to appear completely uninterested...

 I think that is one of the things that sucks for people who live in cities. They try so hard to look like they arent interested that they miss all the stuff that is happening right in front of them.

 Well, if i was not into mountain biking and see some dude on a bike cranking Full speed toward an 8ft wall... Not sure i would stop and stare to see the outcome...Wink

 I ride trials in my city, and as in the video people don't even stop looking to their phones when they pass in front of you. There's people that complains about what you are doing, mostly old people. But I have also found people that stops and says "OH congrats, you do it very well" thats the best feeling ever!

 Drunk people are the biggest fans of trials riding in my experience... Only time I've had a whole crowd around me, yelling and cheering

 I was thinking the same thing about the bystanders. If it was me I would just be staring with my jaw hanging open. Maybe following him around like a teenaged girl. Unfreaking believable riding as always.

 The Chinese are even better for not caring.. They stare sometimes, but usually they are too scared. I have met cops that love me cause I'm western, and they say I can come back and ride in their park anytime.

 This section with him riding the fence at the end can't be shown on Pinkbike because they say don't like skinnies...

 The only thing disappointing about this video is that it ended. I liked the cuts and edits... but I could watch the unedited footage of Danny's riding all day! Just give me a live feed to his go-pro!

 Ridiculously talented! You can't even begin to grasp the scale of some of this stuff from the video and it is too easy to take everything for granted with Danny! Just makes it look so easy

 So..... I guess i will point out that he just wheelied 2 city blocks and only stopped cuz the light was red. Stupid good.

 I love Danny Mac as much as a man can without being gay. Hans got me started, Libor kept me motivated, J-Lo showed me how to have fun and progress, Ryan keeps me challenged and healthy, Danny schools me and screams WORK HARDER! I love you Danny Macaskill.

 Fucker jus' floats up 5' to rear wheel like a Mindfreak. You're just pure magic D-Mac. Love that new ride so much too, like part blue, part purple, all pimp!
  • 2 3
 so much he can and is possible with a trail bike altough i find trail riding a bit boring for view the best edits like these sulry show how great it must be to ride like this. i like it when it gets really ruff like the skinies on height roof gaps etc. thing is city riding is great which there where endless skinies down stairs in my city. hope you can find them one day maxskill and me too but me doin without the bunnyhop then

 Danny, I hate to tell you this, but riding bikes with headphones is illegal (at least in Canada).

 only if the cop can put down the donut long enough to catch you

 Riding on the pavement is also illegal,Danny you Badass !!

 Not in Scotland it isn't. It's only an issue if you're endangering the public. You could argue that with some of the tricks being near pedestrians, but half of them didn't even notice he was there. I live in Glasgow where this was filmed, and I'd flip out if I was cutting through town and saw Danny riding a rail somewhere.

 That's just wrong! For me that is. I was breaking out in a sweat watching this

 Danny's videos never cease to impress me. The original Inspired video that went viral is still one of my favorites ever.
