Filmed over the period of a few months in and around Edinburgh by Dave Sowerby,
this video of Inspired Bicycles team rider Danny MacAskill (more info at www.dannymacaskill.com)
features probably the best collection of street/street trials riding ever seen.
There's some huge riding, but also some of the most technically difficult and imaginative
lines you will ever see. Without a doubt, this video pushes the
envelope of what is perceived as possible on a trials bike.

I dare not let my 7 yo son see this.
Now that’s some of the kind of riding I wish I could do.
I am blown away!
This is fantastic, imagine the doctor visits that led up to success
and the music as well
kind of like My Morning Jacket with higher production aim
The bike is pretty darn hardy too.

My sons aren’t going to watch this one, either. Great video, though, that I’m sure they’d enjoy as much as I did.

It might be carbon fiber manufacture; fixed gear, disc brakes plus gyro to allow for spins.
Definitely not a $500 bike.
It’s like parkour on a bike.
He sure goes big but I’m not sure it’s the most technical tricks I’ve seen. (I dream about riding like that sometimes...)
Way cool!!! Very impressive stunts and man....he’s good.

Edinburgh is a cool place to live. There are some real characters here in this city.
He makes it look so beautiful. It’s not just the wow! factor- it’s like an art form the way he does it. It’s like him and that bike are some different kind of animal that don’t belong on the Earth somehow.
