Danny Macaskill does it some more (bike street trials)

[dlx1]

More trials on a road bike. I'm really not sure about treating a 'nago in this manner.

The video was for Martyn Ashton finishes of his video after accident. MacAskill & Akrigg.
I like Akrigg riding.

Akrigg's Colnago-rock abuse is brilliant.

Ashton... Fuck, he was the rider that introduced so many people to trials (or er... general mountain biking if they found that too hard).

Still... has anyone done wheelchair trials yet?

Blimey!

Use the EMBED function!

It was only on the Redbull site then, not sure it was embeddable?

Anyway I'm one of those mac users who has problems with Youtube so it would be in spoilers.

Martyn Ashton, riding a £10k carbon racer in the Macaskill style

What part of that velocipede justifies the £10,000 price tag?

Is this the one set in his 'childhood bedroom'? Saw it on TV I think. Realy impressive.

Yeah thats it.

New video. It's rather beautiful...and scary.

I way prefer the urban stuff! Is it not a bit of a bad example to be taking a bike out there, ie bikes do a lot more damage than walkers?

I think it's the most impressive film he's made since probably the first one or two.

I can't imagine there's many people gonna rock up with their bikes and give it a go tbh.

I can't imagine there are enough people with the skills to make it a problem?

Well, not there but in other less challenging places probably.

 

[Voley]

I like that more than the urban stuff. There's something about just taking on a mountain rather than a man-made structure that I like. I sometimes see mountain bikers when I'm out on the South West Coast path and am impressed by the way they tackle the terrain. There's a lot of improvisation there that's great to watch.

People wanting to use mountain bikes in the mountains? Who'd have thought?

Breathtaking, both his skill and the staggeringly beautiful scenery

 

[dlx1]

I like Chris Akrigg videos better
Danny Mc good but it's same tricks in different locations.

Not that I can do any of it. [emoji1]
