Danny Macaskill: The Ridge

Some mind blowing stuff. The Cuillin is a pretty special place, the hike is exposed enough, riding it on a bike - no thank you!

Crazy, gnarly, awesome, but it's too bad that when he gets back down, he finds that somebody has stolen his boat.
It takes a quiver to do that.

Yeah... should have anchored the dory  ;)

That was a really well done video... but I wonder if it is worth the risks to get the shot. That climb he made to sit in the saddle on the needle, was more than risky.

Guys like that scare the hell out of me... I watch between my fingers. Cripes, I used to get nervous running down the ridges to surf at Blacks.

Insane abilities, I guess he lives with the assumption that rocks don't slip off sheer drops.

I used to ride some places that scared the hell out of me but that was insane! It only takes one slip or equipment failure and it's all over.  I prefer falling in the water these days.

Finally, all this bike riding is starting to pay off for Danny
It takes a quiver to do that.

Every film he makes seem to push the bar up another notch. He's got so much skill it's unbelievable and such a peasure to watch. Some of shots on the film are truely stunning! Well worth the time to have a look at his other films!

Wow.. Beautiful vid.. Those loose rocky trails would be scary at that height.

Yep, just awesome. Cool to see trial jump action with a full-sus bike.

I bet he'll progress as a waterman too. He'll probably remember lesson #1 very well: if you don't tie up your boat you're gonna be stuck on rocky island loooong time.
