Having seen Danny's riding, I'm not sure whether he's going up, down, sideways, backwards, forwards, or even right side up. Heck, for all I know this is a top down shot of a sidewalk!
Sooo true.. you never know with Danny - just think of the wildest, most un-real sequence he could be doing there and it probably wouldn't be far from the truth He is such a rad rider - always gets me stoked to learn(try to) new skills with his videos
Pretty trippy picture. I think this looks 2-D almost, but I'm diggin that effect.
I'd faceplant so fast if I tried this, and I don't even know what would come after that. Looks like he's up pretty high!
I knew I liked you for some reason Hooly, big CG fan over here. I was seriously gutted when I heard that he was out for the season with such a bad injury.
I thought I would be cool and put some rigid forks on my hardtail. Sooo cool I thought, until I rode it and couldn't even bunny hop up a small curb. those got taken off quickly.... damn.
I hear ya. I built my DJ bike with a rigid fork at first and was learning trials, then I made the mistake of giving it 4" travel... Couldn't jump any more after that.
It is a pure expression of a man and a bike both doing something they were never supposed to be able to do. Sure this is street trials, but that ideal extends to every discipline of biking. When you and your bike pull off something normal people and bikes cannot do, you have pushed the sport.
flip your screen to the side then upside down then to the side then to the other side then upside down then to the side then upside down then to other side........ nope- it still does not make sense........... yep- it still looks awesome!
It's a pretty fast run in with a kind of bunny hop up on to the ramp. Danny carried his speed as much as he could up the ramp then just at the transition from forward to reverse motion when gravity takes over he lifted the back up and rolled back down on the front. He started the move a little higher but this position slightly lower had a better composition, I felt. It's great to capture Danny through the lens on some of the classic architecture spots in Munich. This one did take a lot of commitment and he worked hard for it.
