If you’ve not seen it yet, you need to. Danny MaCaskill is clearly going to be popping up on a lot of radars after this. Nothing should stop you clicking ‘Play’
Chipps was one of the first folks to shout about it on our blog, but we reckon it needs front page exposure.
Go Danny!
And if the name rings a bell you may remember him from the DVD Home. If you haven’t seen it, it just so happens we have it in stock right here 😉 Home DVD
With 23 years as Editor of Singletrack World Magazine, Chipps is the longest-running mountain bike magazine editor in the world. He started in the bike trade in 1990 and became a full time mountain bike journalist at the start of 1994. Over the last 30 years as a bike writer and photographer, he has seen mountain bike culture flourish, strengthen and diversify and bike technology go from rigid steel frames to fully suspended carbon fibre (and sometimes back to rigid steel as well.)
Awsome in HOME and even more AWSOME now. And I dont use AWSOME in some american normalisation of the word. I was literally speechless watching this video.
Danny is the best!
Anthony said “There was music?!”
a genuine lol moment.
Amazing stuff. Very slick and smooth. He makes it look so easy, which is why it can be a bit demoralising. I’m too old to aspire to this kind of thing, but I can imagine what an amazing influence it must have on teenagers.
Good call putting it on the front page – I wouldn’t have seen it otherwise.
Not sure a comment can do justice to the vid!
Spent first 2mins smiling, thinking – pretty nice, progressive moves, bit of a blend of BMX and trials. The tree back-flip though was out of the blue, and from there it was AWESOME. Not only can this guy wheelie backwards, he can wheelie backwards into a forward wheelie. And nose wheelie backwards too!
Other highlights? 360 nose drops at speed. Tailwhip across sideways gap. The big drops are dead impressive too.
Well done Danny! It is so cool to see this talent coming out of Scotland and real recognition. Media interest has been soooooo mad! we’ve even had Paul O Grady & GMTV interested. Absolutely surreal and totally deserved. Well done again Danny.
crikey……
wow….
Like to see him do that on a proper bike 😉
Huh! Didn’t realise I was being filmed whilst riding to work this morning.
But seriously, does this bloke not get effected by gravity the same way that I do???
Completely in awe.
holy ****. I feel more rubbish at this than I did 5 minutes ago.
Having seen some of Chris Akrigg’s videos, there seems to be some competition for ‘raddest/sickest(?)/mental-ist you tube trials video’.
The drop that Danny Macaskill does in this, down the flight of stairs into the underpass was HUUUGE!
My Spanish colleague has just said “he looks like a monkey with a bicycle”
🙂
That goes way beyond inspiring…
… straight into demoralising!
How do you get that good at riding a bike?!
Piece of cake – I can do all of that (except truing a wheel with a lump of wood).
Absolutely awesome – worth a trip to Edinburgh to see it live.
Amazing..although I often find hopping up a kerb a challenge!
Especially like the tailwhips in between obstacles… and how high up that tree!!
Thats amazing.. can’t quite believe the back flip he does off that tree. Thats Superhuman.
Awsome in HOME and even more AWSOME now. And I dont use AWSOME in some american normalisation of the word. I was literally speechless watching this video.
Danny is the best!
Jings, to think I used to give him the sh*tty jobs to do when he worked at Bothy back in the day! Sorry Danny – remember me when you’re World famous.
anyone know what the music is ??
what the ****???? Trials sure has changed since 4 years ago…
There was music?!
Holy Flirking Schnite!

Amazing riding, it all blew me away especially the tail whip between obstacles.
The person who put the film together has got talent too. What was the music?
I’m speechless…..
That is incredible. What more can you say.
The music is “The Funeral” by Band of Horses, from the album “Everything all the time” (which is also brilliant).
KINELL!!
Special effect today are really amazing.
I love the way the bystanders take a look to see if there is a human+bike pancake at the bottom of the big drops!
Stunning. Truly stunning. And British!
without a doubt this guy is the best bike rider i have ever seen. no pads and a jay xc helmet. wow hugh nads.
Brilliant brilliant brilliant, great film and great music…
Echo all these comments. Woof.
Inspiring. Sounds like a nice lad too.

Let’s be having none of that on the Classic Weekender eh? Single kern hop up and down will be fine thanks.
Truly amazing!
…and I can barely bunny hop…
In our house we OBEY THE LAWS OF PHYSICS.
