This guy is the most amazing talent to come along in the trials environment in a while. Watch this and you'll want to blame it all on CGI, but it is real.

I have watched many of his videos and he never ceases to amaze.

Danny MacAskill's Imaginate

For some reason I was not able to skip the ad the second time I watched it.

OMG that's real. I didn't believe it until I saw the "behind the scenes" clips, and read his bio on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_MacAskill

Fantastic! But all the more so because the riding was real. What a wonderful project!!

Yeah, especially after you watch the outtakes at the end.

I’ve seen that cat ride up a tree, no joke, and do some of the hairiest stunts I would have never thought possible.

Trials is a cool sport, but you gotta break some legs, I mean eggs, to bake a cake.

Well, he sure can ride that bike in alot of inappropriate and dangerous situations. I can almost hear his Mom when he was a kid, "Here's some scissors, now run along and play..."

It’s almost unbelievable that anyone would be stupid enough to be out in that.

But I’m also learning that human stupidity knows no bounds.

That is the cool thing about true trials experts. Everywhere they look they see a challenge, and they don’t think “I wonder if I can ...” they think “I’ll bet if I ...”
