  • Filmed over the period of a few months in and around Edinburgh by Dave Sowerby, this video of Inspired Bicycles team rider Danny MacAskill (more info at www.dannymacaskill.co.uk) features probably the best collection of street/street trials riding ever seen. There's some huge riding, but also some of the most technically difficult and imaginative lines you will ever see. Without a doubt, this video pushes the envelope of what is perceived as possible on a trials bike. #rideinspired

    My favorite part of this video has always been the people who always run to the edge to see if "that guy just died", only to see danny casually pedaling away like nothing strange has happened.

      It's more of a personal preference. This Video is just legendary and brings back a lot of good memories. I know flatland, but this Video here is just a classic. It also had a huge Impact, it made street trials popular and showed the world one of the most talented riders ever to exist. I've seen many bike Videos, but this one is just my personal favourite.

      When I was kid, some kids down the street built a quarter pipe in their driveway. My dad wouldn't let me even *walk* over there and watch. The irony is that I stood a lot slimmer chance jacking myself up, over there, than doing stuff alone and unsupervised in parking lots and ditches. So, I always had to ride off in the opposite direction and flank around the neighborhood 🙄 They were always doing flips and crap, too. More psychological than physical.

      Lucy D - As someone who used to live in edinburgh back when this was filmed up until a couple years, it’s amazing how I know 98% of the places. From the University to the Parliament, from Marchmont and the Meadows, to the Pool and the Standard Life offices on Lothian Road, to Gayfield square and the car park on Kings Stable Road.
      I do agree though, soo much has changed now, the St James centre bridge, and Bristo Square are massively different now.
      It is still however nice to know that overall Edinburgh will always realistically remain a constant wherever I go :)

    12 years ago this video was created and I was sold, I begged my parents to buy me my first bmx bike because of his talented stunts. 2022 and I’m now in a career not having much time to go out and ride but I still keep up with this man, a true legend and a role model to my generation.

    holy shit i watched this video when i was like 10 and i dont think i fully realized just how fucking amazing danny really is. that flair on the tree and the ledge ride whip to ledge ride were crazy as hell, not to mention all the other crazy shit.

    It's 2024 and watching it makes me so nostalgic ✨ I literally by heart the whole video because I used to watch it so many times. He inspired me to have a bmx and try to do cool tricks....

    The first stunt is so perfect. You see how insane he is, trying to land his bike on top of that thin-railed fence. We see him working at it. Then the music picks up and off we go.

    Despite everything he and others have done since, this is still up there with the best on TH-cam.
    I think it's because the production is 'amateur'...this is not a criticism. It just shows what impact can be made with a bit of video, great music and a genius on a bike.
    The first time I saw this I remember being blown away by how fluid Danny is on a bike...and it makes everything he does look more fun.

  • @Spyglass_07

    My dad showed me for the first time when I was 4 years old. I would come into my dad’s office everyday to watch this video. And I recently found this video after 12 entire years and man it’s a trip watching this video after that long. I never got into bmx but I got into motocross and this impacted me because of it.

  • @Kamukix

    13 years later and I've found this INCREDIBLE video again! Every time I hear this song I think about this video but I couldn't remember what it was called.
    This put me on to the band, and now I can finally watch the two together again. One of the best TH-cam videos I've ever seen. 👌👌

      In trials it's easier to go towards your power foot. If you notice, he rides the way a regular footed trials rider rides despite the fact he is goofy.

    • @jamesb43
      @jamesb43 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Is he really goofy? I mean almost all the rotation tricks he did were pedals right foot back, rotating clockwise. But then there is the oppo whip as CashlessCaptures pointed out, but the tree flair around 3:06 is oppo, too!
