wow, some of those scenes were nerve racking.
Owned a Honda 125 Trials motorcycle back many years ago. Rode the piss out of it. Trials bikes, motored and man driven, are awesome to watch. Competed in a couple of local events and did badly. Mick Andrews replicas were the motorcycle to have, and they were awesome in the dirt. Rode one a few times. I had more fun on that Honda than on its replacement, an Ossa Stiletto that I rode motocross style. Too hyper for me. I'm a low and slow kind of guy, like to check out the scenery. Thanks for the video.
Wow! Thanks for the video! When I was very young I did some crazy things and people would ask me why I did them. I would tell them condescendingly, "because I can." But the real reason was always because I like the experience and it made me glad to be alive. They were always calculated risks, and not being a dare devil. If you had the skill this guy has on a bicycle it would be a calculated risk, but for me now, suicide. :eek: To all you young people, don't waste your youth, it only comes once. You have to take calculated risks to be really be alive, and know how precious it is. Solitary
I thought this vid was amazing the first time i saw it, and i still do.
I always loved bikes ever since i got my first trike aged 4 or 5 and all the bikes iv'e had over the years but i never had anywhere near the skill danny has.
I would say this is his best but if you want to see more of the same you should check him out on utube..
A class act.
Takes unbelievable skill to do that. Saw guys on trials bikes hop from rock to rock and climb almost vertical slopes, but I was never anywhere near that good. Also takes incredible balance, which I also don't have.

I know what you mean, i always thought i was quite nifty on a bike in my younger days but after i saw that vid i was like fffffffffffk, i wish i could do half the shhhht that he can, i thot i was brilliant cos i could freewheel down my street with no hands......
Good Grief! That's gutsy.
You know.. when I was a kid, about 19 i hitch hiked from Ohio to Montana in a blizzard and that was fucking stupid. I never once tried to ride a bike down a rocky peak and I gotta tell you.. it's also fucking stupid.. Pretty view? Sure.. Skillful? Questionable. Skills to me are things with actual practical uses like weaving a basket or fixing a car. Try putting that you once rode a bike down a rocky peak in Scotland on your resume to get a job flipping burgers at McDonalds.. That's the number one hiring criteria.. I guess you can call it entertaining, but for the rest of us it's not exactly a how to video or I would certainly hope not.. I hate to say it, but bicycles weren't really invented to ride down rocky peaks and tempt fate as a Road Runner/While E Coyote extra.. and that "spiritual music" in the background... STOP with the spiritual sounding shit!
All that said.. pretty entertaining, but no way in fucking hell would i even think of trying that.. :hand: :eek: :snooty: :shhh: :rotflmao:
I've seen guys and girls do similar on a unicycle. :eek: Doing what he does on one like the video would really be a trick.
