What?
I grew up as a BMX kid who then got into mountain bikes and observed trails riding and I was able to do stuff that felt pretty cool at the time. Basic stuff like hoping up onto a picnic table and dropping of the other side. This was a pretty big deal in the mid 80’s.
Things have changed and the skill some riders have is staggering. I should say not only the skill but the grace and strength and power and timing and……. well let’s just say things have changed a lot. It makes me choke up with emotion to watch this young man do his thing. It’s simply beautiful. So just in case you haven’t seen Danny Mac doing his thing here you go. Make sure the sound is turned up so you can hear the brakes squeak.
Enjoy,
Dave

Hey Dave I’ve been watching his clips for a while and have Evan checking em out as well. Words fail when watching Danny M do his thing! Theres a clip that starts with him bailing off the top of a fence and beating the rear wheel back into shape. Truly great stuff.
Very cool!
My mom was from Scotland and my dad from Denmark. Both have passed away. I think it is cool that the most impressive free rider is from Scotland (Danny M), and the most usefull and cost effective software is from Denmark (37 signals). I am an I.T pro that loves cycling.
thanks for showing this clip.

Danny’s videos bring tears to my eyes!!
