Wow. The guy is like a 2-wheeled version of Spiderman.

Incredible.

Did anyone see that photo of the head of a drug dealer impaled on a picket fence. He decapitated himself (accidentally) when running from the cops. Thoughts of that were going through my mind at the start of the vid.

like sailing on hidden bamboo perimeter fishing pens..

insane! hows the back loop off the tree/
my kid still thinks its trick photography!
i could sit and watch that over and over...
he should get a job with cirque de soliel....

mee too, wow

Words can't describe that. If there's ever an example where a bike is no longer a bike but instead an extension of someone, then this is it.

Awesome!!.... Faaark he's doing what trials guys do without a motor and more! Unbelievable!!

How amazing is that? Parkour on a bike! I loved it- thanks for sharing it.

I almost couldn't watch when he was trying to ride across the fence. I thought he was going to impale himself.
But the rest was incredible.
Someone should teach him to windsurf...

As an ex BMX'er who 'USED' to think he was pretty good, I tip my hat to this guy. That is some seriously skillful riding. He is one of the rare breed of people who just don't have the gene that tells them they should ever be scared. All sports have em, the Seth Enslows and the Robbie Maddisons in MotoX, the JP's and the Laird Hamiltons in Windsurfing, the Ross Clarke Jones in Big Wave Riding,etc etc. All freaks but in a 'I'm jealous as all hell of you' kind of way.

Not only is he fearless...how the heck does he jump so far and high? I was BMX-mad as a youngster, and I thought bunny-hopping over an old car tyre was an amazing feat.

b hell!! Boy the chiros will love him when he reaches 40 ..if he does..imagine the stacks he had learning..Im glad i grew up in an era where people were mere mortals and you could feel you were pretty good at things..I wonder how many kids will end up in hospital trying to copy him? I bet the councils hate him!

That would have to be one of the best urban/flatland MTB vids I have seen (I have seen a few) The Flair (back loop) off the tree was awesome. And I love the vision of the people coming over to the edge of the walkway shortly after he has jumped off it.

There would have been a lot of pain over the years to get this good, and even still many of the lines he is taking he would have worked on and likely crashed a few times before making it.

Hats off, awesome.

As distinct from the photo of the guy who shoots himself (on purpose) while in police custody. Not recommended viewing but see snopes.com under fauxtos, gruesome. Too ickky for a direct link.

Danny MacAskill is way too talented to end up like that.

Strewth !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
