Their album is called "Everything All The Time", only just downloaded it, all sounding very good, "The Funeral" and "Our Swords" are the best tracks. Dude has a nice voice :thumbsup

Impressive skills :thumbsup

Picked up the Edinburgh Evening News to kill dead time waiting in the local takeaway tonight, and this video was featured inside. Loving the irony in this quote:
EEN wrote:Even Danny has had his fair share of war wounds. Since he started riding trials bikes aged 11, he has broken his wrist and dislocated his index finger.
Is that all, in 11yrs of doing this :?: :shock: Some people manage more than that just walking in the park! :lol:

i saw this clip yesterday, but only clicked in today when looking at a picture in the metro, that i'm pretty sure this is the same Daniel that i did some riding with during a holiday in Aviemore.

He was fantastic back then, and that was about 6 year ago.

great video!

Awsome, love the jump across Macdonald Cycles shop roof, used to work there, never thought of the roof as a cycle path before. :)

Love the way the public look down the steps to see what happened and Danny is cycling away casually :)

Wow that's amazing! Must be a lot of pain for a lot of gain, imagine how many crippling injuries you would have had before you were that good!

Crazy :!: :!: :!:

That video was filmed and edited by my mates brother (who I think he said is Dannys flat mate).

My mate and his brother (Drew and Dave Sowerby for anyone that is in BMX circles) are sponsored BMX riders and some of the videos I've seen of them are pretty awesome but Danny MacAskill is something else!

I think it's a talent in itself being able to spot places he can do the tricks.

I wonder how many people will end up in hospital over the next few weeks after trying to ride up trees!? :lol:
