I thought the Keelan Phillips video was much more watchable:

Danny Macaskill had the best ability.

The hardcore/free running I could take or leave, and the fire wasn't as good as I hoped.

The skateboarding looked so different to what I've seen before, but the video did not do it justice IMHO.

Just watched it - I thought the Kendy Ty video was the best video, the free running was good, but a bit gimmicky. The skateboarder was a bit dull really.

For skills, Danny wins for me - but I thought the film did not move the game forward - it looked like just another Danny film. His first film remains his best by far.

i thin the free running parkour stuff is incredible. The street trials riding is epic and I have to say I'm torn between those two.

I think the free running is more captivating for me in general so I'll go with that as my preference
