Video: Danny MacAskill Controls the Weather

 Nice work!

 Nice - where is it? I feel I should recognise it. Other bits were filmed where I live.

 That the wee tweak in there?

 @davechopoptions: Campsie Glen

 @r08mky: Sure is ma man.

 @glasvagas: Need to get my ass over there.

 @davechopoptions: Where you from dude? You tube Nipple Tweaker. Plenty videos up there.

 @glasvagas: Milngavie - so not far away. Had heard those trails had suffered through the bad weather/lots of traffic - is that not the case?

 @davechopoptions: Who told you that? They're running as good as ever! Any trail will need maintenance, which we try and keep on top of.. Clearing the stream crossing blockages etc. There are muddy bits if that's what you mean? People tern to use the term "cut up" if the trail is riding badly with too many horrible ruts all over the place but the trails up there never get that bad. If you ping me your number I can add you to the ride group.

 @glasvagas: cannae mind. I’ll fire you over my number- would be good to meet up. Not averse to a bit of mud!

 Que a lot of gates being smashed from various attempts. Ha Ha Great work from Danny.

 @notenufbikes: there's a big gnarly metal one at the back of my house, I reckon even my hamfisted attempts won't brake it , practice, practice, practice

 and maybe mention what ur selling. was it clothes? hvac repair?

 Yep - I feel the same, get rid of all advertising on the web - like you, I would also prefer to pay for every site I visit to get better content, also what does Danny need money for, I heard he gets millions from RedBull EVERY WEEK!!!.. These freeloaders making vids are also selling out, web content is free, so why should they get paid .. we don't amirite .... Stand with me and LOTOP and end the free web... say NO to free web and YES to Pay-Per-Site

 @see-the-world: You must be confusing cycling with soccer. *No one* in the entire world of MTB gets paid millions per week. Red Bull pays a cyclist four-maybe-five figures for the honor of displaying their colors a bicycle helmet. In 2016, after *seven* years w/ Red Bull, MacAskill's net worth was $750,000, and a good deal of that was from his YouTube revenue, as well as bicycle, shoe, and other sponsorships. Dani has these other sponsors because you need a million dollars in the bank by retirement age just to manage a reasonable, middle-class retirement. Just to put things in perspective, Lionel Messi earns a million dollars every *three days.* Compared to other sports, the problem w/ pro cyclists is they haven't "sold out" enough: without collective bargaining agreements they'll never be able to earn more than a few pennies on the dollar earned by major-league stick & ball sports athletes.

 As a rider, totally agree. As a marketer, absolutely terrible.

 @savagelake: air conditioning and heating for mobile campers and vans by erberspacher

 It does what a modern ad should do, gets people talking about it and isn't overly brash about what it's actually advertising! The name will be hidden in your mind and when the time comes to (hopefully!) build your own biking van it'll pop back in when you look at the options. They don't need to be brazen about what they sell as they're a pretty niche company and product but if you're looking for that product their name will jump out due to this ad.

It's also fun so will get multiple repeat views and shared round social media, the vast majority of viewers won't care or remember who the advert was for but those that matter will. Top work Danny and Eberspächer.

 Between this and Bryn's Norco spot it's been a good week for advertisements.

 Yep, an advertisement with Danny Mac riding in it still has way more Danny riding than an ad with no Danny. They've earned 2 of my minutes.

 I don't understand - every Danny vid is sponsored - they dont get made otherwise

 You get more sunshine on east coast of Scotland & less rain

 yes you can, well not yet but why do you think there is a big space race on right now, Amazon and Bezos going in to space is to specifically to control weather, control weather and you can sell more crap more easily .. So, yes, Alexa and your Amazon Fire tablet will indeed control the weather - just you wait pal, then we will see .. then we'll see!!!!

 @see-the-world: whens bezos going to start shitting pesos to give to all the good little girls and balls so that they'll stop throwing snowballs and behave like civilised beings. Sheesh I'll take the rain's pennies any day over a fistful of maguras royal blood. Bloody monarchy right there yessum it is.

 word

 Preach!

 I've tried the 360 ice slide so, so many times. Smacked my head on ice almost as many. To be fair to my efforts...I've gotten to 270. But when Danny hopped out is when my bike was skipping across the ice and I was bracing for impact.

 It sure is.
And it always has been.
Let's put our focus where it matters: pollution.

 @IntoTheEverflow: they kind of go hand in hand don't they?

 @BenPea: CO2 is not pollution, it makes the trees grow and does not interfere with the biological processes of life.
Many other chemicals do interfere and for example cause cancer or alter growth.
We should try to cut down a bit on those.

 @IntoTheEverflow: don't disagree, but if, for e.g., you have cars that pump out no CO2 (yes, yes, batteries pollute, one thing at a time please) they will also be pumping out no NOx and no residual hydrocarbon particles, so there is a correlation. Also, methane, not that I know what to say about it at this time on a Friday.
I'm also inclined to go with the argument that says climate change has bolted from the stable and unlikely to be tamed.
