Inspired. Danny MacAskill from dave on Vimeo.

You may well have seen this already, it's a big hit on Youtube, but in case you haven't here's the version posted on Vimeo. It took Danny and film maker Dave Sowerby six months to film. The bit on the railings took eight hours alone.

I wouldn't claim to know anything about street trials, but in this case you don't need to be too much of an expert to know that this is something special.

Chapeaux!

Or if you prefer… Respect is due

road.cc's founder and first editor, nowadays to be found riding a spreadsheet. Tony's journey in cycling media started in 1997 as production editor and then deputy editor of Total Bike, acting editor of Total Mountain Bike and then seven years as editor of Cycling Plus. He launched his first cycling website - the Cycling Plus Forum at the turn of the century. In 2006 he left C+ to head up the launch team for Bike Radar which he edited until 2008, when he co-launched the multi-award winning road.cc - finally handing on the reins in 2021 to Jack Sexty. His favourite ride is his ‘commute’ - which he does most days inc weekends and he’s been cycle-commuting since 1994. His favourite bikes are titanium and have disc brakes, though he'd like to own a carbon bike one day.
