Danny Macaskill: The Ridge

[Don't be late Pedro]

The Ridge
Stunning scenery and nerves of steel.

 

[mrhender]

Damn.....!!

I would hardly even dare walking on that ridge..

 

[rick james]

Skye looking stunning, i think i am going to do the Skye sportive next year

 

[oldcrank]

It would take much more than a wee
dram of Talisker to get me up on that
Ridge (and then I wouldnae be fit to
ride!). Massive respect for Danny M.

1.3 million youtube views in less than
two days must make Mr. Macaskill one
of the worlds most popular cyclists,
as well as one of the most talented,
skillful and daring.

Just phenomenal. Danny is a true legend. And Skye is stunning.

 

[Master50]

I am trying to work up the courage to watch it

He always comes across as a really humble and likeable guy. However, having seen his videos he is clearly mad (esp. in this one)

He is a really nice guy. Spoken to him a few times around Glasgow. Probably comes from just riding for himself rather than having to race.

Amazing!

A real cycling hero.

I hate to be a pedant, but is the boat not there in the last shot because he failed to tie it up?

It's not there because he lands at Loch nan Leachd near The Bad Step and finishes at what looks like Camasunary (although I may be wrong on the last bit).

Looks like the fence flip took a few takes.......

This is a great video. Some awesome imagery, the scene at 4:10 is just incredible.

 

[Red Rick]

Macaskill is awesome. I first read about him in some English textbook with random articles, then I immidiately looked it up on youtube and I immediately was hooked to his video's. Absolutely sick skills, amazing scenery and great music to go along with it.

And then they say that Sagan has bike handling skills

Hi LesMcLuffAlot!!
That's nice moment . I love your picture.

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

I think this is my first post in the MTB forum! I saw this and was so incredibly impressed I wondered if others here had seen it. Turns out, we all feel the same way.

Not only great riding, but the guy seems like my kind of rider too. Just out there for the pure love of it. Really makes me want to get out and ride.

Like many roadies, Danny also goes in the Canary Islands during the off-season

His videos just keep getting better and better! What an amazing demonstration of bike handling skills by Danny MacAskill!

Also, the cinematography was superb. It too gets better with every subsequent film. :mrgreen:

 

[glassmoon]

Well... he also likes to go to the gym.
