Elegance on Two Wheels (and with no engine)

Hi All

Danny McAskill is arguably the world's best street trials mountain bike
rider in the world.

From Wikipedia:

Danny MacAskill, (born 23 December 1985) also known as 'Danny
MegaSkill', is a Scottish street trials pro rider for Inspired Bicycles
Ltd. He released 'April 2009', a five-and-a-half-minute street trials
video, filmed by his flatmate Dave Sowerby, on YouTube on the 19th April
2009. The video quickly gained popular acclaim and widespread media
attention. The video features stunts performed by MacAskill set to 'The
Funeral' by Band of Horses.

As of April 2009, MacAskill, who was brought up in Dunvegan on the Isle
of Skye, had been practising for more than 12 years. He gave up his job
as a mechanic so he could ride full time. He now lives in Edinburgh. In
June 2009, MacAskill appeared in the music video for Doves' single
"Winter Hill". MacAskill also appeared in a TV-commercial for the new
Volkswagen Golf Estate.[6]

On 16 November 2010 MacAskill released a new video "Way back home"
sponsored by Red Bull. The video showcases locations around Scotland
including Edinburgh Castle, North Berwick, wartime bunkers on the island
of Inchgarvie beneath the Forth Bridge and a hydro-electric power
station in the Scottish Highlands.

Watch and be amazed.

I thought for a while that MTB has very long suspension travel on the
rear but its just his legs taking up the shock
