A little info of Danny.........
Danny MacAskill, (born 23 December 1985) also known as 'Danny MegaSkill', is a Scottish trials cyclist, from Dunvegan on the Isle of Skye. He is 176 centimeters tall and works professionally as a street trials pro rider for Inspired Bicycles Ltd.[1] He released 'April 2009', a five-and-a-half-minute street trials video, filmed by his flatmate Dave Sowerby, on YouTube on the 19th April 2009. The video quickly gained popular acclaim and widespread media attention. The video features stunts performed by MacAskill set to 'The Funeral' by Band of Horses.[2]
As of April 2009, MacAskill, who was brought up in Dunvegan on the Isle of Skye,[3] had been practising for more than 12 years. He gave up his job as a mechanic so he could ride full time.[2] He now lives in Edinburgh.[4] In June 2009, MacAskill appeared in the music video for Doves' single "Winter Hill".[5] MacAskill also appeared in a TV-commercial for the new Volkswagen Golf Estate.[6]
On 16 November 2010 MacAskill released a new video "Way back home" sponsored by Red Bull. The video showcases locations around Scotland including Edinburgh Castle, North Berwick, wartime bunkers on the island of Inchgarvie beneath the Forth Bridge and a hydro-electric power station in the Scottish Highlands.[7]. In May 2011 Leica Cameras released a "Go Play" promo video featuring him doing tricks in the city of Cape Town. In August 9th of 2011 Cut Media released a video named "Industrial Revolutions". The video, set to 'The Wolves' by Ben Howard (musician), features MacAskill doing tricks in an abandoned Scottish iron works. It was created for Channel 4's documentary Concrete Circus.[8]

:iagree: I remember that first video by him, awesome stuff. Wish I could do 1/100 of what he does on a bike. Next year I'm hoping to get back on the Mt Bike more. :yesnod:
Not any bike stunts, but a cool road biking video with some good scenery (Norway) , soundtrack is by a Scottish band though, Mogwai
