Sipie, do you do this stuff on your morning commute?
Danny MacAskill
As it's filmed in Edinburgh I can vouch that some of the steps/drops he takes on are simply massive!!
At around 3:08.....I wet my pants.

That's been doing the rounds in our office this morning - stunning stuff. He must have supreme self belief that he's going to nail it. I'd be wetting myself and shouting for my Mum!

Amazing, had to watch it a couple of times to look for camera tricks, but none.
Such skill, strength, athleticism, balance......he is fearless.
Going back to watch it again.

One of my favourite parts is when he makes the transition from one 45 degree slope to another outside John Lewis at the St James. It just looks soooooo

Sign in if you demand to see a video of Simon attempting that transition outside his work within the next fortnight in his work suit + high vis on his road bike

It's got to be the final stunt for me - where he does the suicide leap from the bridge and people come rushing over to see what happened...
he is just serenely cycling away as if to say 'nothing to see here folks' ...

Cracking vid. Riding over the top of the fence and that back flip with twist up the tree trunk were very impressive.
Big kahunas - just a helmet and no other padding I could spot. Would have thought youd use a full sus bike for that kind of thing but guess too bulky/heavy.
Simon (off to practice outside - someone call an ambulance ready)
