That's a really stunning video.........He's a gifted athlete and a top-class showman, but with none of the cheap commercial aspect to it. I've got a lot of time for Mr. Macaskill

I saw this on another forum, and though the very same thing

Take my hat off to his craziness though :yikes:

I hope that was a parachute strapped to his back

 

[cranmere]

I've walked that, he's crazy!

 

[John Fenna]

The man makes a box of frogs look sane!
Hats off to him though - he is an incredible athlete .. even if he did cheat by carrying the bike up the In Pin!
I never had the chance to walk the ridge - every time I visited Skye the clag was down to the deck
Having seen the vid I now realise that I am no longer up to even crawling along it!

 

[Goatboy]

Have done summer and winter traverses of that and wouldn't even think of carrying a bike pump never mind on a bike. He's got some talent and a lot of guts. Cheers for posting it up, enjoyed that.

Amazing footage, like others here I'd struggle to walk the ridge never mind cycle it.

 

[Tony]

Danny and a couple of others did a Glasgow ride around the time of the Commonwealth games.

Just watched this one as well, I'd never have thought there could be that much grace and elegance involved in a bike sport, but there surely is; I love it!

I love watching videos like this were man and machine are bound by some invisible force.

And what a stunning place, I can only dream at the moment of visiting a place like that. But I have put a plan into motion to change my life.

Thanks for posting

Liked the vid fair play to the guy

No idea how people do stuff like this.. it scares me just watching! I have done some difficult walking (for me anyway! ) in peru before but that doesn't even compare!

Great skill of course, but I do wonder how much scoping out of th route was done beforehand (which would be sensible, naturally)

I can't help thinking that he's on his way to a serious accident sooner or later though. Not to put him down, as I admire his courage and skills, but, well, one mistake...

He is amazing at what he does , I've seen him in action in Edinburgh years ago before he was famous .
Have a look through YouTube and there are lots of clips of his riding , but you know when you have arrived when you get to go to the playboy mansion .

Craig. ....

 

[squishy]

That's what scares me when I watch things like this.. one slip and he might not be here now :/ But as you say, great skill so let's hope it keeps him safe
