    I really like the look of that frame and by all accounts is up there in terms of quality and usability. Pricey though for what is effectively a novelty bike.

    the chap he mentions in the video who gave him the idea for the bike is this chap:



    and it's worth noting that he'd written about woodelo, the irish company, years ago, so i suspect that's where he got the idea himself regarding ash bikes.

    They have a drone and they're not afraid to use it... cool vid through. I like how drones have opened things up, but I wanted them to follow the rider more instead of swooping off all the time. Fabulous scenery.

    Just don't get why he needs a electric bike to go downhill at 90% of the video :-)

    same noise i make when i'm working on my bikes.



  • Registered Users Posts: 7,877 ✭✭✭cletus


    I'd like to know what the kid was doing to get the bike in such a state in the first place.

    Also, I wouldn't trust those handlebars, pretty sure they're going to be suffering metal fatigue after all that twisting

    how's your descending ?.....Danny MacAskill

    The scary video!

    Wow watch those in 4k if you can, your eyes will thank you. What a stunning part of the world.

    I'd like to think my bike handling is ok/good but I would need the hearse to take me out of there and probably just from the effort of carrying the bike up it once. Did it say how many runs he did?

    It didn't. I think the final edit was all in one go, and he had 3 days up on the slabs. Madness.
    I think I'd need an ambulance looking at it :D

    I've always wanted to go to Shetland, Orkney's, Skye and the Highlands. On the list for a vaccinated future.

    I love the dream build series. Old shovel is enjoyable too, although almost exclusively mountain bikes


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 24,463 Mod ✭✭✭✭CramCycle


    Just throwing it out there, in a form over function criticism, Ceramic speed jockey wheels are as ugly as f*ck.

    Relaxing video other than that.

    My sister lives near the Cairngorms. Got to do some relatively light but thoroughly enjoyable trail biking near Balmoral. Lovely part of the world. It's like a mish mash of Kerry and Wicklow to me.

    Danny MacAskill never fails to absolutely terrify me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,561 ✭✭✭Eamonnator


    Here's another one of Danny's, from a few years ago.
    Definitely not shot in one go.

    And the music is great.

    kinda surprised his brakes aren't glowing cherry red by the end.

    Ha yeah they show it at the end, the first thing I asked myself at the start of the video, how many times did it take to land on the rail!!!

    Also I'm annoyed he didn't stay on the train all the way to Hogwarts!!! :D
