Trials riders are one of a kind, haven’t been keeping up with the sport in a long while but back in the day Hans Rey was the guy to beat.

Makes my balls hurt just watching it.

This ancient video was posted on THIS very blog over an effing YEAR ago….

Are you going to show us the Star Wars Kid next…?

[Quit complaining. It was new to a lot of people. I've been working on this blog for three years and I never saw it before. - ed.]

It’s like parkour on wheels! I used to ride with some guys at Andy Jordan’s Bicycle in Augusta, GA, and there were some trial riders there that were very good. They always amazed me!

Sailboatfool…. folks have been telling you that same thing about picking your nose, but you still keep at it.

Sometimes people do things just for fun.

Well, if your traitor government sends all the jobs overseas you might as well have some fun and learn something really amazing. Great post.

#9 they took our jobs!

It’s one thing to do things for fun, but he was doing stunts with pedestrians directly in harm’s way. Who knows if or how many of them have been harmed by the pursuit of this “sport”. Add to that the fact that he’s riding all over private property, presumably without the prior approval of the owners.

Sorry, color me not at all impressed.

Cephus, lighten up or get a life… which ever is easiest for you.

About the movie: WOW!!!

I’m a consider my self a road bike addict and I am ashamed to say I have ZERO balance. I am jealous!

One of the few video’s I have seen that was worth watching! Nicely Done!

This brings back memmorys. My nephew used to do this these kind of tricks.

This brings back memory’s. My nephew used to do this these kind of tricks.

Cephus, I’d rather live in Danny MacAskill’s world than yours.

For some reason your comment reminds me of the Terry Gilliam movie Brazil and you are playing the Michael Palin role.

# 17 Sailboatfool said, on October 28th, 2009 at 2:40 pm

hey Tom WOOLF,
hey at least *I* get something out of it!

# 18 downhill said, on October 28th, 2009 at 3:23 pm

sailboatfool, its not a waste of time doing what you love. The kid has immense potential to cash in on this but he chooses not to. Nothin wrong with that.

Cephus…did you watch the freakin video???? i’m pretty sure this guy has never hit a pedestrian, nor ever will…unless he wants to. its not like he just rides around w/o looking. and most of the property looked public..and as far as the private stuff goes, its pretty hard to damage anything with those rubber tires runnin across it once or twice

# 19 WanKhairil said, on October 28th, 2009 at 3:26 pm

Amazing how he flipped on the side of the tree. I’m sure he has lots of broken bones.

Even more amazing, how he hasn’t been arrested, since we see so many fascism reports here in DU.

# 20 peter_m said, on October 28th, 2009 at 3:39 pm

#18 Cephus did not watch the video. He’s on dial-up!

# 21 Cephus said, on October 28th, 2009 at 4:58 pm

Hardly, I’m on a 20MB FiOS connection. Try again.

But for #16, luckily we don’t live in either world, we live in reality where we have laws. Please try to keep your head on straight.

Poetry in motion

thanks hopper.

# 23 deowll said, on October 28th, 2009 at 6:21 pm

That was awesome and awesomely stupid. The first stunt was on a spiked fence. He feel twice. He’s lucky he did impel himself. Now that would have been awesomely gruesome. I’d have hated to be the guys that had to pull him off the fence.

# 24 davo, the uninformed australian said, on October 28th, 2009 at 8:42 pm

wow… this kinda makes me wish i was talented in some way.

incredible vid, totally worth the 25min it took to load the fucking thing. danny must have insane core strength and power to weight ratio

# 25 TTHor said, on October 28th, 2009 at 9:03 pm

Lovely to see such talent…!

# 26 lens42 said, on October 28th, 2009 at 10:26 pm

I feel compelled to relay what Penn Gillette just had on his Twitter feed:

“Get a Life”: If that’s ever been said to you, be proud. Passion is what life really is and that command steps on it.

This video is phenomenal.

This reminds me how Great God Art…His creation is wondrous indeed…a testimony to His infinite ability.

# 28 Ivan said, on October 29th, 2009 at 10:05 am

He just got a VW commercial, so much for telling him to get a real job.
