Just watched it -freaking brilliant and filmed by a kitesurfer- awe some video and an awesome opportunity used wisely to do what you wanted ,well done Red bull for making it possible x
That bit where the bike goes under the pencil & he goes over, lands on it and pedals away...jaw still dropped here!
Insane! 😮
the set is just GREAT!
top riding from Danny again, lOVE IT!
wow he sure can ride a bike
I actually laughed in delight several times, just superb!
How much did those falls hurt and who cringed. Hands up.
Also is the music an original 80`s song?
Absolutely amazing not just his skills but his artistic creativity at coming up with something which is just so fun it really does live up to it's title.
WoW!
Fantastic. I've always thought that Danny had the ability to elevate this stuff above just kids doing tricks and turn it into art, but this just takes it to a whole new level. Well done Danny and to Red bull for making it happen. Nice cameo from his mum there at the end too.
You've got to hand it to Red Bull. None of this stuff (Danny, balloon man etc) can make sense financially can it?
Absolutely amazing 😯

It's done it's job though, we're all talking about Red Bull 😀
That's probably one of the best bike related videos I've seen, some of the tricks are fantastic. The tricks with the Swiss Ball things show that Danny must have great imagination for thinking up new things. The bit with the flip off the ball onto the railway line was something else, truly spectacular.
That double flare on to the railway platform is INSANE!
Loving the set, brilliant imagination
fr0sty +1, brilliant, not just the "same old, same old" trials vid
(though still stuff I couldn't ever imagine pulling off)
Yeah, but can he do skids? Everyone knows skids are the best trick.
7 minutes of utterly obscene brilliance!!
just watched it three times and still grinning like an idiot trying to pick my jaw off the floor!

I think when your product is basically a tiny tin of water, and you can sell it for a quid, it's hard to keep track of what makes financial sense and what doesn't.
Stunning riding, amazing video and production, love it!
Great concept - really well executed - what happened to the elephant though!?
Glad he managed to throw a couple of proper 'wow' tricks in there as well as the concept.
Really liked the use of the playing cards.
Anyone worked out what the music is? Was it composed for the video? Sound hound can't find it. [EDIT] Makes me think of proper retro 1980s montage music!
Er, wow, I didn't think it would be THAT good after all the build up, but there was so much amazing stuff in there it's going to take a while (and a few re-watches) to digest. Just absolutely mind blowing bike control!!!!

Hold On by Houston
On second viewing I noticed that after he lands on 'left foot' on Twister, he plants his left foot in the next trick 🙂
I can't get my head around how many days of filming it took. I would have expected 3 or 4 days of practice and 2 or 3 days of filming - but apparently they were on set for 60 days!!!
Love it. The balance ball stuff is nuts
It was difficult to see just how big some of what he was doing was, because the set makes the scale hard to fathom. The shots at the end of him hitting the pillar on the station platform put it into perspective though!
I couldn't enjoy it because the set was so fantastic that it just seemed like CGI type shenanigans.
I should say that I have imagination problems in general, but FOR MY MONEY I prefer his 'real-life' stuff*
* Of course I know he did actually ride the stunts.
Ace stuff! Expected Buzz Lightyear to appear! 🙂
Isn't it stupendous?
The song is Runaway by Dakota.
That smashes all other riding videos. Great vision, great moves.
Damn, why couldn't his tank have been Saracen.
Fantastic film.
As above it almost looks cgi'd in places which is a shame.
First Gee Atherton gets chased by a psychotic pigeon, and now this...
Amazing imagination. Well done Danny and team.
I would LOVE to have been involved with building those sets... 🙂
Ace stuff! Expected Buzz Lightyear to appear!
Hello, Hello!?
Absolutely bloody breath-taking!!!!
I also did that 'I can't believe he even thought he could do that let alone try it, the git' thing where it's just plain envy of someone who has that much skill.
'MB' sticker on his helmet...nice touch 🙂
It was alreet I suppose....
Actually it was bloody amazing! Good job Red Bull letting him do stuff like this. I think I'll be watching that again.
that is just amazing, I exclaimed out loud in the office watching that. the deck of cards is superb.
My 3 year old daughter summed it up quite well. She describes him as a 'silly boy' and exclaimed 'wow, that is a bit amazing'. She might be underselling it a bit, on balance.
Most excellent ..
Balance ball to railway line 😯
The outtake of him getting it wrong on the tank barrel ....Ouccccchhh
Oh my days. That is breathtaking!
No wonder the Red Bull F1 team has be so good recently, they've been making models of this years car since 1987!
Very very good!
and for those with a bit more time this afternoon, here is some behind the scenes stuff as well
cracks open a leffe...
