Danny MacAskill + Band of Horses

This is by far one of the craziest street/trials bike videos I have seen in a very long time, if not the craziest ever. The rider’s name is Danny MacAskill, a 21 years young rider out of Edinburgh, United Kingdom. Beyond the unthinkable tricks that Danny pulls off, there is also some spectacular cinematography, really good editing, and funny astonished reactions by onlookers. This is a great video all around. If you are a trails biker you should check out his sponsor company, Inspired Bicycles, also out of the UK.

The other thing that I love about this video is the song selection. The song is The Funeral by Band of Horses. For some reason they’re not the first band that comes to my mind when creating a playlist, but then I hear them in a video like this and it reminds me what I’m missing when I don’t have them in my playlist.
