It may not look it at first, but it's in English (well, Scottish :D), lovely music too.
Gotta love the way he gets over the barbed wire fence at the end.
Apart from water, I'd bet his back pack has a couple of spare tubes.
I_wanna_Shed 13th October 2014, 08:36 PM That's one crazy, crazy cat.
Awesome scenery too. And I'll let you know how I get on after I try the barbed wire fence trick!

And I'll let you know how I get on after I try the barbed wire fence trick!Best wait until after the Sydney to 'Gong thing - and do try not to leave anything on the fence....

NCArcher 13th October 2014, 10:03 PM As soon as I saw the title I knew who it would be. There are heaps of his videos online.
If you do a search you will find videos with him doing, seemingly, impossible stuff. Riding along the top of a picket fence comes to mind. Riding along chains hanging between two poles. :no: I won't be trying any of those moves.
Grumpy John 14th October 2014, 09:24 AM Thanks for putting this vid up FF. Brilliant scenery, brilliant cinamatography, and a great soundtrack. I nearly packed my dacks when he hit the fence.

I knew who it would be too :). Danny MacAskill is a legend. This type of riding had it's origins in Trials riding (bicycles, not motorcycles). If anything they are more spectacular than their powered compatriots.
This is another:

There are probably hundreds. I saw one recently which included about three riders including Danny. At the end it showed that many of the stunts they had to attempt more than once before they got it right. The video above shows a few bloopers too.
After all, as Brett said, it's not easy.
