Video: Danny MacAskill meets Olympian Chris Hoy

 maybe i'm being a bit cynical, but i doubt Hoy's sponsors would let him, imagine having an athlete like him on your roster and have him inure himself riding a completely irrelevant discipline haha

 wow someone is butthurt i dont think he is calling trials irrelevant but saying it would be retarted for a top speed athlete to put himself out dicking around with trials mad props to both athletes tho.

 Its okay they dont have sarcasm in mexico.

 I have to agree, I would have liked to see Danny try to teach Chris some BASIC trials techniques. Not saying he has to hop on the posts or railings but get him to try the nose pivots or back/forward hops on flat ground. Just to show that not all cyclists can just switch. This showed that Danny, a trials rider, is not the best at Track...how bout the other way?

 I loved this, especially how Danny Mac' was still wearing his 5 Tens.

 they do have tacos. i love tacos

 this is like the stig meeting ken block

 Pfft yea

 Chris dont wanna get those tires dirty!

 THE STIG MET MR. BLOCK?! ...how did i miss that episode

 its on youtube^^

 ^^ If you want to call someone who, just to train for his discipline, leg presses over 600kgs and works until he throws up and has to lie in the foetal position for several minutes after an exercise an "indoor track dweeb" then feel free, but I would say what Hoy does within his riding discipline is as equally impressive as what Danny does, but just in a totally different way different way

 not saying dannys sport isnt super gnarly and crazy but that indoor track gets way fast and dont they end up having multiple competitors there at the same time idk but i have seen some funny and painful looking crashing on that speed track too and if hoy is a track dweeb maybe u should try saying that to his face dog see how much of a dweeb he is when he puts his foot through your torso lol

 Why don't we ask Chris Akrigg which one is tougher/more ballsy?

 haha nice one.. but i am leaning towards shishka's opnion.. track riding is very limited and narrowminded..
just peddal harder than the rest.. and train your butt off for it.. props for the training.. but the end of the day.. all you did was riding in cicles..
i think you have to have a racer attitude for it.. and most of the time that attitude aint my cup of tea..
i never looked at a DH track or what ever.. and thought.. if i take the other line i would be faster..
i always say : my ego is fine ,. i dont have to compete to prove myself in any way..
the only thing you can do with track riding.. is being faster than the rest.. your never going to encounter a right turn

 I didnt realize we had track enthusiasts right here in the pinkpages. Congrats to hoy for winning medals etc. Matching him with a real badass rider like danny is looking for comments. Whoever set that shoot up should get a visit by hoy. Honestly anyone looks stupid on a bike next to danny.

 You look stupid, next to a wordsmith. You completely missed the point of this video, you Yankee twat. You have two riders who are at the pinnacle of their genres. It is not about what riding is better, it is about appreciating what it takes to be the best. Danny is sick, so was Aaron chase, and Jeff Lenosky, and Hans Rey. Trials is very similar to track, as in they are such incredibly small pieces of the cycling world. Trials is such a ridiculously small segment. Go hop on a track and tell me it is easy. Pedal kicking around is sick, but so is sustaining huge watts for 20 seconds. It isn't a comparison vid. It is two national athletes talking to each other. Hoy for sure, wouldn't of been allowed to fiddle fuck around on that little bike, mostly because his career is massive. Smacking his shin with a pedal would do nothing but hinder his performance. Get so frustrated when other cyclists bash other cyclists for being part of a different genre. I am fascinated that there are so many kinds of bikes, with the same fundemental parts, that can accomplish such a drastic span of tasks.

 Yanks lol what is this 1850? Take it easy general grubblebump. You cant tell people how they should view a video. Its called opinions, we share them freely. If you take it personal thats a sign of weakness. A big wordsmitth like you should know that.

 shishka for president !

 Back when I raced no the rod we only had toe straps. No SPD's. brought back memories.

 Power Rangers!

 Chris's legs are the size of Danny's torso. Danny needed the fancy helmet to battle quadzilla.

 HAHAHA!

 "there's 2 kinds of people I hate, people intolerable of other peoples culture...and a Dutch!"

 I hate americans; they generalizee and they are fat!

 www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ882QYzr-M I miss quoted but here ya go

 Check out Rob's Dirty Business from a few months back

 well of course ive seen that hahaha but i mean like a legit one like this video

 Is it any dumber than us guys that put our bikes on a lift to ride the bike park? Or guys that shuttle? I think not.

I don't know why you have such a hate on for other disciplines of riding. If you don't like it, don't do it. But there's more to two wheels than just freeride.

And personally I'd love to see you take him on, that "guy with no skills" could most likely hold his own in any style of riding.
