My nuts would have been useless by the time I was done trying ONE of those stunts.
 He is very good at what he does.

Just Googled him:
"As of 21 April 2009, Danny, a twenty-three year old from the Isle of Skye, 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. He often listens to music while riding.[3] Danny draws a lot of skill from influential riders of the trials scene including Martyn Ashton, Chris Akrigg, Mathew Street, Michael Judson, Kenny Wilson, Fraser McNeil and Brian Bleech."

Was this thread supposed to be a rip on this kid, or giving him props?
 I think the guy is amazing.

Get off my lawn!

I remember back in the stone ages when I was a kid I thought I was a great bike rider. In my wildest dreams I would have never thought of those stunts. I will blame in on equipment. I had a crappy 3 speed with the long banana seat. I broke the frame several times. It had so many welds it weighed a ton. That guy is totally amazing.

Jeez i can think of about 12,325 things i'd rather spend that much time on in perfecting a skill.
It's impressive i guess, if you're alone. Me personally, i prefer a companion, so i chose sex. Last edited by m21sniper; 05-04-2009 at 06:12 AM.. |

The problem is that getting that good almost certainly involves about 200 broken bones and about 20,000 spills. There's a gymnast dude that has a video online somewhere ill try and track it down today. As far as physical impressiveness, i have never seen anyone that can remotely compete with this guy. He is awe inspiring, really. |
