The video shows the Drop and Roll Team – Danny MacAskill, Duncan Shaw, Ali C and Fabio Wibmer in the Philippines for their final show of the year in December, with plenty of behind the scenes looks at what it takes to be a rock-star of the bicycle stunt world.

Oh, OK, you might be OK at that… but look at that tyre squish!

It features some great stunts, some impressive, improvised street riding (wheelying up AND down a short flight of steps…) as well as a few tricks that don’t quick go to plan. And all in front of an ever-present audience of smiling kids (and not so kids…)
