Yes, I know it's completely irresponsible but it's jaw dropping nonetheless.

BTW - that's Edinburgh in the background - doesn't it look stunning.

Hmmm, he looks like the punks I had to chase away when they were stuntin' off my limestone office building:rolleyes:

I wish my balance and core body strength were that good:rolleyes::)

That bike is much less damaging than skateboards.

I thought the videography was stunning in that.

What incredible skill!

I also appreciated that the video showed him waiting at stoplights and replacing the things he had moved to create obstacles. :D

Also, the first bit where he was trying to ride across the fence reminded me a bit of the antics on this Japanese TV show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1HkiKYn_Ok

Holy cow! What balance.

And to think, I can barely just make my bike go forward.

I bet he has great leg muscles!

I'd hardly call that irresponsible. Danny MacAskill is one of the greatest trials riders out there. I'd love to try my hand at it but I have realized my own mortality so I'm gonna have to stick to my road bike, mebbe some BMX so little groms can laugh at me.

We're gonna get a trials park in Boulder, so at the very least I can do some bangin' photography. I'm perfectly happy to photograph those who are more talented than I.

This is another video of Danny, love it:
