That guy is amazing...but what that video really make me want to do is visit Scotland again. (Lived there for 2 years...I miss the place sometimes.)

Yeah he's amazing. I've seen that video a half dozen times recently. Red Bull did the cinematography, so the financial backing allowed for some awesome stuff.

That was the first time I watched any trials since I broke my back. I almost feel sad. I really miss riding.
I am not too sure if I like how trials has crossed back with 20" methodology. I rode back when we had to make our own frames and there was no such thing as a saddle on our bikes. if we hit, it hurt. there is no doubt to the skills of these newer riders, but I can see that they have recrossed with street and flatland after the years I spent attempting to get trials (and to a lesser extent flatland) considered a seperate sport by the powers that be.
Oh well, very cool film and I'll have to visit Scotland sometime.

The first really great trials rider I saw was Ryan Leech and I thought that no one could ever out do him and then along came Danny MacAskill. Proves there is always a faster gun. Here is a vid of Ryan doing his thing. Similar stuff but MacAskill seems to have taken it to another level in risk and audacity. Beautiful images of the Firth of Forth bridge in that MacAskill vid.
