Can You Wheelie? You could be in the next Danny MacAskill video!

by 2

If you can wheelie, then you could be in with a chance of appearing with Danny MacAskill in an upcoming video.

This is a once in a lifetime chance for a UK based bike rider. Danny MacAskill, Adidas and Five Ten have teamed up and decided to involve one lucky rider in their upcoming film project. Know how to wheelie? Then grab your mate, make them film you riding and post the edit on your Instagram.

Of course, you’d have to be able to wheelie, so let’s find out how many of you actually meet the qualifying criteria. The results of the poll might just inspire you to enter – or to get out there and learn.

The press release reads:

This is no joke: Danny wants to see your best wheelies and will pick one lucky winner to join him for his new project with Adidas and Five Ten. It wouldn’t be Danny if he’d choose his next companion only by performance; get inspired by the master himself and be creative. Upload your video before the end of the day on Wednesday 26th May. The winner will be announced in the second week of June on Danny’s Instagram channel.

Right now, Danny is already scouting for his new project and super hyped about the approach: “I’m really excited to be working on a new project with Cut Media. Looking back it’s hard to believe how many different films we have made over the years and how positive the feedback has been for all of them. For our new project with Adidas and Five Ten we thought it’d be cool to give some real biking fans the opportunity to be in it. This is open to people of all ages with any kind of bike so get out there and show us your skills. I can’t wait to see what you all come up with.”

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.
