[Closed] Danny MacAskill at the Playboy Mansion - Behind the Scenes

I'm going to watch this one from a safe place...

Too much bike

Danny is a dead man to the STW keyboard warriors.

Chocolate rich tea in place.

0:25 Danny should have got a bunny to iron his top. 8)

Selfie at the end. Cannot believe how those bunnies treated Danny as an object. Totally boycotting the Playboy Mansion now . . .

I agree with Danny. Bunnies are shit at tennis.

Just seen him practicing outside the Buchanan Galleries in Glasgow...sadly not a Playboy Bunny in sight!

STW white knights out in 3,2,1........

I think, on balance, I would have shaved.

Nice vid, honest chat with the guy 🙂

I wasn't comfortable with the way he just objectified the walls,lawns, courts and just rode all over them.....

Good on him, looked a blast, and if it upset a few folk then they need to let their balls drop - certainly better than rolling up for work for another day in IT support*.

* not a dig at the perceived working status of stw whingers

Just a bunch of people getting paid to do their jobs. No slave labour, no one got hurt and it all ended peacefully.
I can think of plenty of things for people to get indignant about but Danny Mac videos are not on that list.

Yeh but it was a bit shit wasn't it.

This truly is the forum topic that keeps on giving!

The girls seem very bright (and chirpy)

I think we can agree it wasn't his finest piece of work but I'm sure the cheque was fairly rewarding.

I tink Mr M is adding weight.

Thanks for posting, watching that just illustrated how churlish certain folk were about the entire affair, he would have been asked to do it for his sponsor and being a professional did as he was asked, it's what happens if you accept the 'Kings Shilling' and it looks as if he enjoyed it so good for him.

Odd definition of professional there, doing whatever your employer asks. I've frequently had to tell my employers no, that's the wrong thing to do and I'm not going to do it.

There's a mile of difference between the traditional employer/employee relationship and that of a sponsor and a pro sportsman, particularly in a minority or niche sport where it is very very difficult to get actual cash to do the sport you love doing anyway.

So no the only odd thing was possibly defining 'professional' in regards to trick cycling, Danny Mack has broken ground, given lots of kids hope and a goal to shoot for and if that means going to bloody playboy mansions then so be it, let the whiners stew, its pretty much the green eye anyway.

And, they're off! Really, desperately tried to be offended by the original video - failed. The male gaze is an evolutionary phenomenon documented by philosophers and artists for many generations. It's not a bad thing,wwe're not talking about up-skirt photography here...

Yes, to an extent, the women in the video are being objectified ( ogled if you prefer ) but I promise you, they don't mind.

Are they perpetuating the eternal cycle of men looking at women and going "phwoooaar"? Yes. That's just the way it is.

That doesn't make it okay.

That's not actually that different a choice as it effectively boils down to how much you want the money and what you are prepared to do to get it.

I've not watched the video and I've no real intentions of watching it either so I'm not offended by it, but attempts at justifying ogling women by saying "hey it's all evolution" or some other such nonsense is frankly ludicrous.

Really, desperately tried to be offended by the original video

Why would you do that? 😕

Hey everyone, Graham is here to give us disapproving looks again 😛

Anyway. We are aiming to beat [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/singletrack-decide-not-to-cover-the-danny-macaskill-playboy-video/page/12 ]12 pages of replies.[/url]

So let's 'ave you!

Nah, I'm only nibbling the bait. I think I said what I wanted to say in the last one. Not much point in repeating it.

The general consensus seems to be that an 88 year old millionaire paying young women to hang around his mansion in their skimpies and be his "girlfriends" is not at all misogynistic and actually the kind of glamorous lifestyle that should be promoted with flashy action sports videos.

After all it gives [i]"lots of kids hope and a goal to shoot for"[/i].

Especially the girls.

a goal to shoot for

😀

No, it makes it normal. You don't need to feel guilty when you look at a woman's bottom / boobs and get a bit excited. That's what's supposed to happen. It's how we reproduce.

This video/s create worse threads than 650b (sorry kittens) ones. 👿

Seedy IMO.

and Cumberbatch is proper p'd off with that tea

lawn could have done with a trim too was getting a bit shaggy (the one he nose manualed down)

It's how we reproduce.

So, just getting excited when I see a pwetty laydee is how we reproduce? Shitting jaysus!

Ok, so putting those bums and boobs in a mansion for perusal is a bit weird but the point stands.

Though I imagine lots of the folk who like this kind of thing are the ones who never get closer to the true reproductive experience than getting excited at the mere sight of ze big boobies.

Nah, I'm only nibbling the bait. I think I said what I wanted to say in the last one. Not much point in repeating it.

FWIW I dont think we reproduce by watching [ soft] porn I think we actually need a lady to be there.
Oh and Woosh.

Dongle fail and a record time difference for a DP 😯

So, just getting excited when I see a pwetty laydee is how we reproduce? Shitting jaysus!

Ok, so you're exempt from reproductive duties. It's a tough one - we all grew up with hedge-porn and girls of easy virtue (well, I did). I suppose
i probably couldn't give a single toss.

Not one whit do I care.

it's not a question of anyone being offended, or wishing to protect those [s]poor, abused[/s] well-paid women in the video.

it's this:

the people at STW-Towers decided not to publish the original video on their website for the same reasons why i chose not to share it on my facebook page:

i'm not 12, and sexism hasn't gone away yet.

How ever many hundreds of thousands of years ago when Homo sapiens first walk the earth I am sure male Homo sapiens would look at female Homo sapiens and think, I would .
Probably before even having language.

And I hope in however many hundreds of thousands of years time two male Homo sapiens will be sat on a train or futuristic equivalent when a young female homo sapiens will board and walk to the front of the carriage whilst wearing a skirt just tight enough to accentuate her behind.
And male homo sapiens number one discreetly elbows and whispers to male Homo sapiens number two. " out of ten" to which male Homo sapiens number two replies "I'd give it one " And they both laugh, no one dies.

Don't think women don't do similar. It was not uncommon for me to hear "he would get it" or "he'd do" when I would run past groups of women when running late in the evening .

" out of ten" to which male Homo sapiens number two replies "I'd give [b]it [/b]one " And they both laugh, no one dies.[/i]

I assumed the "it" was a typo. Tell us it was a typo chip, please?
