Most of us can ride a bike well enough to take us from point A to point B, but it’s what we do along the way that really makes the difference.

Me? I just concentrate on the basics. But for Danny MacAskill, that approach is a little pedestrian.

Danny prefers to push the limits of what is possible with his trials bike. It doesn’t always work, and the video shows us that too. But when it does? Wow.

This video was shot over a few months in Edinburgh. The city provides the perfect backdrop, with everyday objects like trees and staircases becoming obstacles for the rider to conquer. And conquer them he does!
