Completely off topic but the season is over and this is still something that anyone can appreciate. By far the craziest bike vid ive ever seen. Watch the whole thing. Just when you think yourve had enough he hits another mindbowing feature.

Thanks for that 1 scoop.
Unbelievable. Awesome. Amazing that he survived to get there.
Should be an olympic sport. That there would be a gold medal performance for sure.

Great to get the sound track credit as well. Sweet tune.

Your right ashk. That back flip is insane, never seen that before...the rest is fairly standard street trials riding, check youtube there loads of vids. If you can really call that level of trials riding standard lol.

I love the way he jumps off stuff then you see concerned bystanders rush over expecting to see a broken mess on the ground.

Nah, wouldn't/couldn't call it standard at all, having seen a fair bit of decent trials riding in the flesh Danny is on another level.
His backwards riding is outstanding, his ability to do huge drops and simultaneous rotations, just insane. His front wheel riding/landing is the best, even his 24" bike is not standard for trials, he does his own thing, he basically lives and breathes bikes 24/7, I love that video/soundtrack.

I've got friends over from Qld for this, they are using my nissan patrol and tandem trailer whilst they are here and are renting a house around the corner.
I went over to visit them last night and in the front room there was 13 BMX bikes ......I think they mean business.

Flem, I've gotta admit: Yes, crazy....Yes, obviously a lot of skill, but I don't think your fella would pull as many chicks as the other bloke mainly because the first fella can absorb the impact with his bike where yours seems to absorb it all with his crotch

Yeah. i don't think thats true either. The back flip whilst highly impressive is possibly one of the easier things on that whole clip IMO. Back flips are pretty ballsy but some of the other stuff is way harder.

What makes it superm impressive is he gos off axis in the air so that he lands well clear of the tree base on flat grass and to a dead stop, thats impressive.
I agree that there is way harder stuff, like where he jumps and jams between the sandstone wall and the bike rack.
The rotating jumps and rotations into front wheel stands and especially the huge rotating jump into the subway. The mini sandstone speedway thing where he does the second jump, starting with a front wheel stand, then straight into a rotation/drop, very cool.
Peace tells me, he rides trials, I only know jack!
