Wow.
aaaaaarrgh! that's impressive..
Them 5:10's will be wet for the next few days then.
god I can't stand those santa cruz colours
'part from that, amazing
Awesome
that is pretty ace that is..... 8)
wot no bunnies? Kev is dissapoint! 🙂
Good work Danny, proper awesome!
that looks like a good day out
Great riding and some lovely shots.
It's nice to see Danny riding something different on a different bike.
I do think that Chris Akrigg looks much more comfortable and in control on on FS bikes though.
Stunning. I shit it walking up there.
Mountain biking
Impressive or just bloody mental..?
Time to get a new agent I reckon Danny
Amazing until about 20 secs from the end, then just
...WHAT...???
😯 😀
Loved the shot from the ridge where the islands appeared to be floatimg in the sky
My hands and feet feel all funny now.
Impressive stuff.
I don't think I'll be trying the barbed wire trick any time soon.
That's one way to get over a fence.
Its a long time since a bike video gave me goose bumps....that was very impressive. I've climbed the Black Cuillin ridge many times so this was properly impressive in my books. The exposure on some of those ridges is very 'squeaky bum' on foot, never mind on a bike.
Video of the month for me.
impressive him carrying the bike up the Inn.Pin.,
Is he forgiven for the Playboy vid now?
Is there a way you can select a frame from that and embed as a screen saver?
Beautifully shot film that
words just fail me.
Is he forgiven for the Playboy vid now?
Yes, yes he is 🙂

I applaud his bike carrying and climbing skills on the Inn-Pinn. And the rest of it of course. The photography is the best bit of that video though. One of the best adverts for Skye I've ever seen.
Wonderful 🙂
The scenery is so stunning that I hardly noticed his riding.
The definition of exposed riding though and I had vertigo watching him climb to the top.
Really enjoyed watching that, far more than the last one that was set in the abandoned town.
Si
I wonder if he turned his Strava on, possible KOM?
Amazing.
Wow, more impressed by that than any of his other films to be honest, there's something about taking on nature that's so compelling compared to the regular urban trials type stuff.
Nice to see him doing all that on a 'proper'bike too. Agree on Santa Cruz colours at the moment though - what the hell?
I think I'd be shitting it walking up that tiny ridge even with 2 hands clinging on to the rock, let alone 1 or no handed with a bike on my shoulder, and coming back down after, he's not hanging about on the path along the side of the ridge, what a nutter.
Worst bit for me was the GoPro footage, both in terms of quality and the shots.
We deplore the absence of tits
^ ha ha
Excellent vid in all senses.
Well I know someone who carried his cross bike along the Crib Goch ridge - but the Inn Pin???
Proper goosebumps throughout most of that. Incredible.
Brilliant.
I need a poo now.
Brilliant. Thanks for posting OP.
Can't believe someone nicked his boat though.........

Email me a time stamp and I'll send you back an image if you like.
Tell me the resolution of your screen too.
Amazing, but I'm wondering about what happened to the boat
Just awesome. The flip at the end was unexpected as well haha.
How did he get it so quiet? The Pinn is as busy as hell on a fairly unblowy day like that. Lugging a bike up it as well=spacehopper sized balls(almost as big as the camera operator!)
Fantastic. I didn't think I had vertigo
Amazing, simply stunning.
There is a documentary about the film on BBC1 at 7:30 next Friday (Oct 10)
Simply superb. On my tick list of places to visit once the last child has finished university. (I shall not be riding any of that).
the fence was a good trick
the scenery was nice
someone stole his boat, he's probably still sitting there
was that him on the top of that spiky bit there or a double? You don't actually see his face.
the penalty for error was pretty severe i would be scared to walk most of that never mind ride
Proper good. Despite gasping in awe at Rampage the other night, that video is way more impressive for me. I work with a woman whose kids love Danny and it's awesome to think he's inspiring a new generation with stuff that like.
Meh, I'd like to see him handle the breaking bumps and Hora's pebbles of death @ Cannock...
Great stuff. How does he manage to sit in the saddle with baws that big?
A teeny weeny bit of exposure in places there 😯
im surprised that it hasnt made the news section on STW yet.... I guess the establishment are still Anti-Macaskill
Goose bumps here as well, proper good that. Absolutely stunning scenery.
Only watched on my iPhone 4s so will have a proper watch on the telly later, should make it even better.
Our van was parked up about 5 yards from the fence he flipped at the end (Glenbrittle) this summer. Sadly I didn't have my mountain bike with me or I'm sure I'm have had a crack at that 😉
Amazing film, stunning place. I'd just about got myself settled back at work (down south) after the hols. Watching that has got me all restless again!
😯
Sweet baby jeebus, terrifying. What a dude.
Bloomin' 'eck 😯
There is a documentary about the film on BBC1 at 7:30 next Friday (Oct 10)
It appears to be in Scotland only - http://www.radiotimes.com/episode/c6f7bm/danny-macaskill---riding-the-ridge
"Behind the scenes with stunt cyclist Danny MacAskill as he creates a new internet film on and around one of the most dramatic mountain ranges in Scotland, the Black Cuillin in Skye. Danny and his crew spend 10 days on the shoot, enduring long treks and tricky terrain, all to capture Danny performing in this most thrilling and challenging environment."
So Amen for the iplayer!
EDIT - if you can't view the vid at work save it for home. Definitely one for HD rather than a poxy phone screen.
Need to go wild camping up there - went six years ago and was to this day one of my best ever adventures - that front flip over the fence was gnarly !
brilliant. my nerves were a little frayed in parts!
'kin hell. Having walked / climbed some of those there's not a cat in hell's chance I'd do it carrying a bike let alone riding a bike down.
Chapeau Danny.
It was going so well till he skidded on a footpath in such a fragile environment. Unforgiveable.
was that him on the top of that spiky bit there or a double? You don't actually see his face.
I've stood on it and I'm no hero, admittedly without a bike, it's all fairly straightforward for someone with a reasonable head for heights. He must have had one or two people with him up there tho, to help lower the bike and him off afterwards. I can't imagine he back climbed with the bike as well. Presumably, they handed the bike up onto the perched rock and he had to sort of stand over it, whilst they back climbed a bit out of shot. his best vid yet.
PS would be interesting to know.
Regarding the boat thief comments he parked at Coruisk and finished at Glenbrittle. Which makes complete sense as his Ma can pick him up and take him home for tea before she "shoots the boots off him".
That's flippin awesome.

Funnily enough I grabbed a couple of shots as it was playing

I was expecting one of those trademark nose-spins off the Inn Pinn or Am Basteir
Is disappointed.
Amazing vid though, and having scrambled and climbed over all of that area, agree with earlier comments about not even beginning to contemplate riding a bike up there.
Kudos to the Cut Media guys for putting that together, some great shots.
BM'd for laters on like.
Looks to me you're all in for a big fat DM hugathon now 😆
How did he get it so quiet? The Pinn is as busy as hell on a fairly unblowy day like that.
I went up there on a beautiful day in June a few years back, and we had the place to ourselves. I thought the ridge was terrifying enough on foot!
Quality vid, a top return after some recent duff-uns.
Im surprised that it hasnt made the news section on STW yet.... I guess the establishment are still Anti-Macaskill
Nah - everything's judged according to its individual merits 🙂
And I'm the only one in the editorial office today, so I've got *quite* a lot to do... *sniff*
I've walked / scrambled most of that (as above) and bloody hell Charlie; no way would I think of lugging / riding a bike. No sirree. Such adeptness and fluidity.
No out-take reel? 🙂
Ridiculous exposure.
Wow, I really enjoyed that, Danny showing he up for some "proper riding" 😳 4.13 (Dezb's 1st screen shot) just has me shaking, let alone where he walking up to it and releasing the ground to steady the bike, and the final fence jump is brilliantly unexpected.
I'm not surprised his boat floated off, he forgot to tie it up.
Anyhow, stunning, definitely back to form - and the fence flip at the end...
So enjoyable.
I must have held my breath through the whole film.
Maybe I'm odd but the bike colours are fine to me. 5.10s the all round climbing and cycling shoe 🙂
Immense in every way.
absolutely incredible riding, jesus, hes absolutely immense, that bit flipping over the wire fencing is just insane, how on earth did he just one day think, "you know what I can do a full 360 in the air by running into a wire fence at speed"
just bonkers, great video, now looks like hes got SC on board too, very nice bike indeed 8)
"you know what I can do a full 360 in the air by running into a wire fence at speed"
I have a confession, early days of night rides my lights (1st gen. Cat Eyes with LA battery) died early on, so I tootled back down farm track (by Dreghorn) in near dark, forgot (until last minute) the 5 bar gate across said track. Just had enough time to grab some brake and next thing I knew, was on other side of gate, a bit stunned, half crouched, must have somersaulted and landed upright ish. no bike.... next thing, bike lands on top of me... walker getting into car in car park looked a bit bemused as I rode off, muttering "oooyah, oooyah"..
Beautiful video, that exposure made me feel like hiding under a blanket.
Nice one Danny, more!
must have somersaulted and landed upright ish. no bike.... next thing, bike lands on top of me...
😀
A bit like that, I was riding a recumbent down one of the trails at Mugdock, and missed a narrow bridge over a stream - one minute I was riding a bike, next minute I was running down the trail sans bike...
return to form for DM there, amazing. I was getting bored with the same tricks. Has taken a step way up with this one! 🙂
Red Hair Rampage.
Blinding video. Would be ace to see him at the actual Rampage - longest slowest run ever, with the most tricks.
honourablegeorge - MemberWould be ace to see him at the actual Rampage - longest slowest run ever, with the most tricks.
That'd be brilliant. Day 3 of Danny Macaskill's rampage run. He's just ridden to within a foot of the end, done a tyretap off Kyle Strait's vast baseball cap, then bunnyhopped back up to the top.
But what's he ever done on grit?
