Bike Stunts

This video on bicycle stunts is pretty impressive. I recommend watching it until at least three-quarters the way through because the bike stunt person starts to do flips off of trees...

The featured bicyclist is actually team rider Danny MacAskill, on a trials bike.  Bike stunts enthusiasts say that the tricks Danny MacAskill performs in this video are the most creative and technically difficult tricks ever featured in a video.

I was watching this video and was a little bored at first, but after Danny MacAskill started setting up ramps to ride on a fence and especially when Danny MacAskill started to jump off of trees and do flips, I got entertained quick.

BIke stunts are quite dangerous and I'd like to point out that Danny MacAskill has the brains to do stunts with a helmet worn at all times.  A little background information on this video includes it was filmed over the period of a few months in and around Edinburgh by Dave Sowerby, and credit goes to Band of Horses for their epic song 'The Funeral.'

Watching this video makes reality seem like fantasy, as Danny MacAskill jumps around town on his bike.  All I've got to say is, I gotta learn how to ride like that!
