    Default Danny MacAskill on the Isle of Skye

    This amazed me -- I can't *hike* things like he's riding. (Feel free to delete if already posted elsewhere -- I didn't find it, but that's no guarantee)

    For those who have already seen lots of great trials riding, the one surprise for me was how he got over the barbed-wire fence at ~6:05. I've done something similar, except for the getting over it part.

    Stunning photography. At points I thought I was going to fall off my chair. He has amazing talent and I hope he is suitably compensated.

    I laughed out loud when I saw that. His skills are just amazing.

    I generally don't love these videos, but the combination of awesome cinematography, and riding on this one brought it to a new level. I clearly need some skills practice.

    This came up when I was watching some other danny mac stuff;

    Amazing how fast it goes from an idea to success.

    BBC iPlayer - Danny MacAskill - Riding the Ridge

    The BBC aired a 30 minute documentary on the making of the Ridge last night. The documentary is much more interesting because it shows all the effort that went into those shots. The drone they use to get the aeriels are awesome.. After the shoot, I think they enjoyed a couple nights in some pubs on the isle.

    For those in the UK, Iplayer will work. For those of you in the USA, it might be on BBC America or maybe you can find it on line.

    Amazing riding and cinematography, well worth the time to watch.

    Can't say I like the direction though. First minute is dead time as is the last 1:30. Too many extreme closeups. Still, pretty compelling, and no doubt difficult to shoot.
