as bikers, we think that everyone knows about our sport what we do. unfortunately, it's not that way yet. this definitely had to have helped.
and who could have been a better representative then Danny himself?
heres a chris akrigg video to show that danny isnt the only trials rider making good vids. Also chris isn't using brakes in this clip
www.pinkbike.com/video/45126
that is just something out of this world, there are people riding as good as him and probably doing the same stunts, but damn he makes is look so perfect!!!
unclesmokey84 i believe the problem in that affirmation is the lack of background check by part of the media, but yes, i agree with you in that matter!
but the riding, just superb!
he would also be my vote for most inspirational/champion of biking for this year.
plus alot of the time, if your good enough.. someone will find you.(talking in general)
lol i agree about the balls thing and i gree about the amazed thin gaha... so i guess were both right.. in a sort of way aha
still.. i was thinking of a tailwhip.. then i saw danny in his first clip doing a double..
he made my determination of keeping up practice until perfect..
now doing tailwhips too on a 26" trials bike (not in air) thanks danny !
now practicing reverse wheelies..
regardless, he is the f*cking MAN!
nobody controls a bike like this dude
the best pro bmx'er don't have shit on danny mcaskill!
i will fight ANYONE who thinks there's a better bike rider in the world right now.
where do you live?
could we fight?
come to the bike park!
maybe you just want to arm wrestle?
how about you just shut the f*ck up?
it has to be said though allot of what makes it an awsome video is the editing !
are you serious right now?
you wanna take away from this video, and danny mcaskill?
this video does not appeal to the average idiot because of the editing
its because the riding is bloody ridiculous
