Video: Danny MacAskill comes a cropper - and laughs it off

Trials ace fails to nail the jump

Danny MacAskill has been thrilling us with his street trials videos for a few years now - but behind all the thrills, there are also a few spills as he rehearses his routines.

In this short video posted to Twitter by fellow Drop and Roll Tour member Duncan Shaw, MacAskill doesn't quite manage to land on a wall, leaving Shaw nowhere to go other than ending up on his backside, laughing.
