Didn't know who he was and slightly dubious about clicking your link given the comment.

Very pleased I did, some hugely impressive skills!

Quite possibly his best one to date?

I let out a few audible 'F**k Off's' watching him pull off some of those moves. I wont spoil it for any others who havent seen it yet. But the treadmill and pommel horse (I think that's what they are called?) Bits were incredible.

Good, but I think he has done better!
Can't recall them all, but https://www.redbull.com/gb-en/danny-macaskill-best... has a few - the Ridge is pretty cool, but I like the early one where passers by look down to check the nutter is okay!!

Just watch it. It’s absolutely bonkers! I know it takes an awful lot of failures to to get each stunt right but half of those I can’t believe are even possible to pull off. His (off bike) box jump right at the end is impressive too!

That's the original Inspired Bikes one - love that video and the song (Band of Heros - The Funeral)

I like that they include some outtakes at the end, but you have to wonder how many attempts some of those took. Is was the slack lines and the pommel horse that most impressed me.

I think I saw it was 199 attempts to do the slack line.

When I watch a surf video, I know I can do 90%+ of the moves (perhaps not as well or as consistently as the pros, but I have done them), same with a football match, I can do a lot of it, just not as well or consistently. With the Danny MacAskill videos, I might just be able to do 10%, but that is the bit where he's riding on the flat on both wheels. I have no idea how he does it.

You could draw a line on the ground as wide as that slack line, I doubt I could ride along it on my road bike

It takes a special kind of person to fail at that 198 times, get up and apply Elastoplast, and do it for a 199th.

He is supremely skilled, but I also love that he's not too serious as to not show the out-takes.

Landing and keeping balance on that slack line, so difficult!

There’s a behind the scenes video too. I think they took something around 750 takes to do the final trick where the bike flips without him.
