Danny MacAskill, (born 23 December 1985) also known as 'Danny MegaSkill', is a Scottish trials cyclist, from Dunvegan on the Isle of Skye. He works professionally as a street trials pro rider for Inspired Bicycles Ltd.[1] He released 'April 2009', a five-and-a-half-minute street trials video, filmed by his flatmate Dave Sowerby, on YouTube on the 19th April 2009. The video quickly gained popular acclaim and widespread media attention. The video features stunts performed by MacAskill set to 'The Funeral' by Band of Horses.[2]
As of April 2009, MacAskill, who was brought up in Dunvegan on the Isle of Skye,[3] had been practising for more than 12 years. He gave up his job as a mechanic so he could ride full time.[2] He now lives in Edinburgh.[4] In June 2009, MacAskill appeared in the music video for Doves' single "Winter Hill".[5] MacAskill also appeared in a TV-commercial for the new Volkswagen Golf Estate.[6]

OK ; gonna take this totally off topic now
But that's OK cause it's my thread, and it's in The Saloon.
Steve's post of "On any Sunday" made me realize I have never actually seen that movie. Which is a very shameful thing that I will try to address this winter (starts tomorrow, clocks back one hour)
But thinking about movies from that era reminded me of a doco that you guys might enjoy. I suspect anyone under 50 probably wont really "get it" but this is a quite neat little doco about a guy called Kim Newcombe (who you've never heard of).
He was a Kiwi, and one of the first to use a two stroke at GP level back in the early 70's.
Hope you enjoy, good old historical footage; it's in three parts so just take em one at a time.
Cheers
