PRESS RELEASE: Rasoulution Communication Agency

It was nearly ten years ago that a young trials rider and fairly unknown Scot broke the internet with a street trials edit shot in Edinburgh. “Inspired Bicycles” didn’t only spark Danny MacAskill’s professional career riding bikes but also catapulted a niche sport into the spotlight of mainstream media. Now, ten years after his first edit by Dave Sowerby was uploaded to the internet and multiple video projects that have racked up well over 300,000,000 views on the platforms of his partners, Danny MacAskill has (finally) launched his own channel. Check out his showreel portraying ten years of creativity, crashes and courage and join Danny to see future projects come to life!

bigquotesBetter late than never, eh? I have been thinking about this for a very long time, because my approach to making videos just seems to be so much different than a lot of videos you see on YouTube every day. You won’t see daily edits popping up by any means. The plan is that I have my own space now, where I can chase some passion projects of mine. I have so many ideas on my list, that I want to bring to life and I think that having my own space will give me more freedom to approach them. I will be kicking things off with a banger soon, just sit tight and watch this space!—Danny MacAskill

 Good place to start out Danny, but its a competitve world out there. You just got to pray one or two of your videos goes viral, you get a bit of fame and hey, maybe you’ll even get sponsored one day. Best off luck.

 It's a little unrealistic to pay your bills riding bikes, but one can try.

 Ok I'm obviously confused here. Does having a youtube channel mean he's lost all of his current sponsors? Has he not been able to pay his bills riding his bike the last decade?

 @Powderface: Yes he had to move back in the shed at his mum's place.

 @Powderface: Just more money for his bank acct. Hopefully it’s not going to be another channel where it’s all filler content (aka 10min vids of him making his breakfast, doing laundry, ranting about Brexit, walking the dog )

 Nah he was for real @Powderface:

 @Powderface: no it just means he s starting something new TO HiM where he would do his own thing without being pressured by anyone as he believes he has more creativity than showcased before.

 Good luck Danny. Never easy putting your videos on YouTube. Bit of advice : get a friend to video you while you do some tricks and hopefully you’ll get some views..

 I tried to make my own YouTube, fucking hated it, and quit. My content would have been terrible anyway. I'm not going to film myself eating fucking burgers.

 My latest semi-viral(50K views) was a video of people chasing cheese down a hill in super slow motion to the sound of Ave Maria. Youtube is fickle.

 I hope he starts doing how to videos! I'm sure I'd only need a 10 minute video from him and I could do brush up on my impossible balance skills and would like to take my bunny hope from inches to meters

 Never knew everything on youtube is being broadcasted on different channels. I just thought it was a big collection of videos without any substructure. Learn something new every day.

 Come on, you guys should boost the drop and roll channel, come together ya crazy Scotts. Joined forces means less editing and thus higher quality material.
