Re: Danny MacAskill's newest video
Awesome.
That one was waaaay better than that fantasy land one. Still didn't have the rush that the original (?) video gave me (the one w/ the Band of Horses song). I'm not sure which was technically better riding though. Could also be because I had never seen him before.
Those vertical stalls on the wall around 4:40 were awesome and so was the sequence of him coming down from the "Matadero" building and the front flips tapping the sign. I wonder how many runs it takes to get these things down, he just makes it look so fuckin easy.

Holy tetanus! That guy is off the flipping charts! I too like this one much better than the fantasy land video. He should ride Bombay Beach or Chernobyl next. My track stand self esteem is shattered. Thanks for posting this Mickey.

Skills - Wow. Wonder how many broken bones etc he has had - there had to be a few serious crashes on the way up to what he can do now.

Re: Danny MacAskill's newest video
Yeah, Danny is so talented. I agree, Fuzzy, I still like the first video the best also but this one is pretty damn great. That front flip with the nose tap on the sign is crazy.
Re: Danny MacAskill's newest video
That was incredible, thanks for sharing.
I can't believe someone can control a bicycle like that.

Re: Danny MacAskill's newest video
That sign flip is the single most impressive bike trick I've ever seen.
I can't wait to see the out takes of this video. The falls he took filming some of the tricks for Imaginate were just devastating.

I don't have a lot of experience with vampires, but I have hunted werewolves. I shot one once, but by the time I got to it, it had turned back into my neighbor's dog.

I got to where he was carrying the bike up some kind of narrow little peak and started getting sick.

MacAskill never ceases to amaze.
Redbull Rampage has basically taken over my Instagram feed, liked that they had way less wooden features this year.

Semenuk makes it look way too easy. He has such a smooth style.
