Danny MacAskill does Rampage!

Danny MacAskill was out to watch the 2021 Red Bull Rampage, but before the big day he lined up a gang of local riders to go seek out some local trails. You might recognise one of them – Chelsea Kimball, our rider and writer at Freeride Fiesta, in Issue 137 and participant at this year’s Red Bull Formation.

It was Danny’s first time at Rampage, so he’d never experienced the scale and exposure of the terrain before. The video is less of the usual Danny Mac does tricks, and more like seeing an experienced pro reduced to a similar level of ooh and ahh as we might be.

‘Pro mountain bikers and trials superstars Matt Jones & Danny MacAskill surprised random people with the ultimate Red Bull Rampage experience, including helicopters, desert ATV’s and awesome MTB trails before sitting back and enjoying the live show 🤘‘

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.
