Danny MacAskill on front page of New York Times

I know most everyone has seen this video but I thought it was a good story as to what happened to Danny after the video went viral....

Good on him!

 

He deserves it. Really good kid.

 

Awesome! You know, I saw his video probably a month after I started mountain biking, and I was so inspired by his riding. I had no idea that riding could be so beautiful and fluid.

 

I taught him everything he knows

 

It's great to see someone get properly rewarded for his riding skills. More pro cyclists should earn stick-and-ball money!

 

Very cool. My seven year old requests that video all the time!
​

 

sweet. interesting to see someone so deserving getting good exposure. I particularly liked this part:

Ellen DeGeneres, who bears a faint resemblance, wanted him to dress up as her and ride around Los Angeles.

#-o:lol:

 

Thanks to that video I tried a little trial riding coming down STT yesterday. I now need a new tire. It was so worth it.

 

i showed that video to my 5 year old daughter, and she said, "is that you daddy"?.
And I said, "YUP"!!

 

Just found this!

This guy totally blows my mind with what is possible on a bike. The guy is becoming a legend.

 

Repost.
I posted the Vw Commercial the day he posted it on his Facebook. There's also a "making of" video.
