Danny MacAskill Rides Again
Way Back Home
by Danny MacAskill
As promised, here's the follow up to yesterday's post about uber-sick cycle rider Danny MacAskill.
Some additional info:
Way Back Home is the incredible new riding clip from Danny MacAskill, it follows him on a journey from Edinburgh back to his hometown Dunvegan, in the Isle of Skye. You can read about it and watch the interviews with Danny here.
The music is Loch Lomond "Wax and Wire" and The Jezabels "A Little Piece".
To Be Truly Talented

Danny MacAskill - April 2009
What is talent, and where does it come from? Why is it that certain talents propel people to fame, others to riches, and still others to back-alley infamy? Warren Buffett has a talent for investing, Louis CK has a talent for making people laugh, and Danny MacAskill can use a bicycle to fly.
The following video has been viral for some time now, and its popularity transformed a simple Scottish street trials rider into an international celebrity. It was filmed by Danny's then flatmate Dave Sowerby, its set to an awesome piece of music, and it totally blew my mind.
Learning to Fly
I apologize for the poor video quality here, but sometimes that sort of thing just doesn't matter.
No big write up on this one, but make sure you get to the 1:30 mark in the piece and tell me if it doesn't remind you of a smash hit at the box office two years back, one that featured tall blue warriors on winged steeds?
