Have to say the first couple of videos were still the best. There getting far too commercial/big budget (in comparison) these days.

I can only imagine how hard it must be to come up with new stuff nowadays, front flips, back flips, usual stunts and tricks, what next bunny hop out of a helicopter from 3000ft and put on a parachute on the way down/?

The bmx guys seem to be able to keep on innovating and the other extremists try to copy, the motox guys are trying to do bike flips now, its completely nuts.

The problem for DM is that he uses the urban environment as the stage for his tricks. To pull a double back-flip and such like you need massive transitions to get the air-time you need and the downward slope to allow for a safe landing. Realistically, you aren't going to find something like that in the streets.

Where Danny is really skilled is that most of his tricks are landed on a flat ground and often from height.

Besides, it's all about triples. This is probably my favourite triple - Frontside Triple Rodeo. WTF

To be fair the disciplines are similar but in the same way different. The BMX guys are all about big tricks but Danny is more about Trial riding basically Kick start(for those old enough to remember it) but on a push bike.

Ive seen a recent vid of an MX rider pulling off a flare!...Now thats crazy $hit!

DMs riding is appreciated by BMX riders...that says it all. BMX is about many, many different things but style is as important as the trick...watching people huck stuff just to pull it is ugly
