Danny Macaskill's such an amazing rider, his section in Home, the Scottish MTB film, was amazing. He rides so many different styles on that one bike its just inspiring

man, when flair off the tree, when he supported hiself with the wall and a railing, the backwards noesmanuel. that video was incredible

i saw this video on youtube the other day and all the comments were like "WHY DONT YOU GET A BMX!!??!!?/!1!1!111!"
IT PISSED ME OFF.

As a trials rider as myself this guy if freaking INSANE!. Telling you why he is insane does not even cut it.
- + 21
DAMN and I thought Ryan was the shit. he is in his own rights. but this guy is the shit and drops HUGE futures... MAD RESPECT
- + 24
I love seeing the faces pop up over the railings after he hits a huge drop 
It just makes you realize how incredible his riding is.

ever watched a video with a stupidly sick rider and thought to yourself....why do i even try?
well this is one of those videos...

i am still a huge fan of Ryan Leech and always thought that there wasnt any thing better to watch, but after watching this, he is just pure AMAZMENT, the video just keeps getting better and better, im speechless right now, its just that amazing
- + 18
he must have sold his soul to the devil or sumthing cos i have never seen someone ride that insanely before!!! this should be vod for like a week or sumthing!!
- + 9
That Was absolutely out of this world class riding. just the massive hits and gaps he was able to trow the bike over with balance, 360's and manuals was truly amazing.Sick riding dude, props.
PS. in defense of Ryan Leech, Ryan has some amazing balance skills on very skinny stunts. even from skinny stunt to skinny stunt. not to mention the perfected chain ride.
- + 35
yea, why is everyone comparing him to Leech??? They are two VERY different riders with two different bags of tricks. That's like comparing Pat Laughlin to Sean Burns lol... they both BMX and they both pull crazy tricks out of their asses... sure Burns launches himself down insane staircases at like 100mph but that doesn't make him better than any other rider... that just makes his riding style unique amongst all the others.
I guess I'm just trying to say, just accept and respect other riders and their style and dont compare their level of "skill"... as long as we're all on bikes, nothing else should matter

I thought some things were not possible on a bike. Danny just proved me wrong.
You are one of the best riders i have ever seen. Riding on a fence?? No way.
Soo much respect! Keep it up

That is the most awe-inspiring video I have watched ever. Most of that stuff was freaking huge, and the backflips off the tree - they were something else!! Words just can't describe how good this is, but its mainly due to such a brilliant rider! Macaskill has Skill's!!!
- + 6
he did not just flair off a fucking tree , i enjoyed the first video but this is just crazy, his style is just epic, fantastic vod

im at school with his niece, i never realised they were related

No matter how many times, i watch this, my jaw keeps dropping, this video, is so sick, this is prob the most deserving vod, and its a good edit with actually meaning from the rider, so i read some where in this video page, great riding man, you truely, have great tallent keep it up. and you got me into the mood of riding my bike.
- + 11
im gonna say POD! and not because i dont know the difference between between pod and vod... this vod is so sick that they shuold cut down every frame of this video and make a series of pods for the next 5 years! he is just that good!...
(looking at the comment below mine by "maxFu"!)... why is he not a pro!!!

Ive always wished to be able to do all that, but never actually fancied riding a trials bike, but after seeing HIM, changed my whole perspective.
- + 2
people are comparing danny to leech, well to a point i guess you can but then if you look, danny uses a trials specific frame/setup while leech doesn't, leech tends to use hardtail, front susp. street frame/setup.
respect to both riders but i don't think they can be compared to each other fairly. My Opinion. they are both amazing but I still like the way leech rides, leech seems more..1 with the bike.

crazy bastard lol that guy at the end looks over lol i was like holy shit when he droped off the roof
- + 7
What makes this guy so unique is how he blurs the boundaries in between trials proper and BMX riding. This guy is an artist in that he has been inspirational enough as to come up with a brand new riding style from scratch. This opens up some new fresh territory some riders might just like to tread on as to give it a go. And we do all admit to it: we've never seen so insane a ride have we? He is unique in that there is no other one like him.
- + 4
This video is truly epic!!!! And this guy is my new hero.... and i don't even ride trials or street lmao
- + 3
Yes he does. The bike is a 4Play and he had 24'' put in. I know for sure as I've already visited visited Inspiredcycles' site and done some research into it. He does actually ride his bike in 24''s.

this guy is a freakin legend man... like honestly, flair off a tree? i have never seen anybody lay down big tricks like that on a trials bike. that was an amazing video
- + 1
just from watching this guy it looks like he used to bmx and went to trials cause of the tricks he pulls off the case's and his whips on flat.
- + 1
This guy is an utter legend, i dont even ride trials but he has inspired be. the things he does are insane. when i saw him to the flare of that tree my mouth literaly dropped. what a legend...Danny MacAskill
- + 1
no matter how many times i watch this it still amazes me, it should be video of the YEAR not just day!
- + 1
speaking of jaw drops, mine did many times during this video and everytime i seen any of this guys videos!

showed my bad. his comment- 'he must have wires or something, those sorts of moves just arent possible...'

best trials/ street riding i've ever seen. He had tech trials skills along with BIG street moves, and some sick tricks.
- + 4
im curious, he's got such good skill's and rides like the bike is just another extention of his body, why is he not pro?
- + 4
Nothing I have ever seen on a bike compares to this.Completley at one with his bike. This boy is a star, not just in street/trials, but a star compared to anything i've ever seen. Pinkbike need to suspend VOD,cos it aint going to get any better than this!!
When you have talent like this it isn't going to be to difficult to make a decent video,but this video isn't decent,its pure beauty,The edit, the music, the shots- utterly inspirational.I've shot the odd video, well I'm wasting my time........This is a benchmark .
Give us More of Danny...... waiting.

This proves me wrong my bike's geometrics. If I mean to stand on it, what do I need so long a seatube for? Has anybody visit Inspiredbicycles' website yet? I usually don't like trials bikes because of how uggly the are (and I know this is putting many others off), but Danny's 4Play (the blue one) is just so beautifull I am just thinking about it. The full build with hope hubs and brakes + 24'' wheels is some £1300. Not cheap though but the frame is just £299.

absoulutely insane! i watched this a thousand times and it is amazing everytime!danny is above the law. if he were being chased by cops or somtin he could get away just on that bike. "ill just hop over this car then flare of this tree and if my calculations are correct ill land on a rail about an inch wide then i can ride that in a manual for a bit then maybe ill just tail wip off." all in a days work for this guy
- + 2
I don't even know what to say to that, simply off the charts. I did really like all the peopl that kept showing up where he did something wonder what the crap just happened. nd as for amazng moments in the video... there was none that sood out, the whole thing was insane. Motivational too... now I gotta go ride in the rain

really . well then everyone except for easy as 123 hated it ... no but really ? you didn't think it was good

I have never seen anything like that anywhere in my life. That was absolutely flawless and beyond description. If there's a street/trials rider with as much flow and creativity anywhere in the world I would love to see them ride. I thought Ryan was nuts. Wow. Insane. Manifesto can't hold a candle to this IMO.

803 ha ha, yeah this video is completely, ummm, well words really cant describe what is contained within those 5 min. of video footage, been watching this video for a while, my other comment is probably back at 250 area or something, literally changes what you believe is possible on a bike, something tells me he could have done a lot of that on 26"

Red Bull did an AWESOME documentary on Danny. Its called Red Bull Way Back Home. I highly recommend it!

Yeah cos massive side hops, riding rails and kicking from rail to rail would be easier on a BMX, NOT!

dick munch, have u seen the whip he does on like the last slide? also he should cause he is 360ing and stuff. some should be trials, like jumping from side to side of rails, but some bmx
