Danny MacAskill Rides Wimbledon

by 4

For some Wimbledon is fun, a symbol of summer. For others it is time to get out and ride because there is nothing on the telly except a ball going backwards and forwards many times.

Left, right, left, right, left, right.

Grunt, thwack, grunt, thwack, grunt, thwack.

Are tennis nets really built like this?

Usually we’d ignore all that strawberry and white kit based goings on, but this ace little video court our attention so we thought we’d lob it your way.

Demonstrating his brand strength, Danny MacAskill of Drop (shot) and Roll has teamed up with HSBC sport to produce this video. There’s the usual Danny-balancing-on-things stuff, but wait to the end and there’s some pretty nifty ball play.

Did the crowd urge him to (j)umpire? Do you love this video? Are we tiring of all this or can we rally to one final pun, or is this volley of Dad-worthiness quite enough?

If you think you’ve got a witty return, head to the comments section.

I came to Singletrack having decided there must be more to life than meetings. I like all bikes, but especially unusual ones. More than bikes, I like what bikes do. I think that they link people and places; that cycling creates a connection between us and our environment; bikes create communities; deliver freedom; bring joy; and improve fitness. They're environmentally friendly and create friendly environments. I try to write about all these things in the hope that others might discover the joy of bikes too.
