Danny MacAskill shot to internet stardom after THAT video. It arrived perfectly formed and with a great soundtrack. But what about the times he didn’t get it just right? Well, thanks to his now-sponsors Red Bull prodding him a little, he’s shared some of those ‘other’ attempts to show that he’s slightly human. Enjoy them.
Perfecting his 'Staring into the distance' look
Need reminding about the original? Probably not, but just in case.
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.)
My little boy is just 5 and his most requested video isn’t Ben 10 by Danny MacAskill. He’s just started riding his bike round the decking in stunt mode! Looks like Mr Mac will be responsible for many cuts and bruises.
Cant believe he did the jump down after breaking his forks, brave or what
Not only a genius on a bike, also a likeable guy
What a pleasant humble and pleasant chap…
Cant agree more matt..just seems like a really nice guy..great role model…why isn’t he fronting up the ‘ecofriendly’ onslaught on teenage boys?
Best bike vid ever IMo….love it
Great rider, crap actor!
That broken fork is unbeliveable – especially as they called the ambulance beforehand! The guy is a legend.
I would have thought all of these impossible had I not seen them. Riging along the top of a railing…FFS!!! amazing.
Calling an ambulance before hand – seriously, what a selfish idiot.
@Xiphon:
The bit about calling the ambulance beforehand was a joke because the siren started just as the stunt went worng….

Keep up the inspirational work Mr Mac.
