Video: Danny MacAskill - The Ridge


Wayne Potgieter

Recommended Posts

Every time I watch a Macaskill video I get really fired up to ride and improve my skills. Big time with this one. Rock climbing and MTB, it doesn't get better than that.

 

I must say that on the section where he is riding on the narrow ledge with the shear drop off to the left, his helmet is nothing more than a formality. No getting up after falling off there!

Respect! I'm too much of a wus to try anything remotely like that.

 

What SC is he riding? Nomad?

 

Stock Santa Cruz Bronson with Enve wheel and Cane Creek Double Barrel upgrades.

 

Amazing skills!!

Man has got skills (and big balls). But I think it's 95% the bike. Somebody buy me a Bronson and I will prove it ;)

Fence front flips don't happen on 1st attempt

 

 

At least he is only human... but there can't be many who even have the audacity to try something like that in the first place!

Pah!.....done that, next time i will just try to open my eyes and hold on to the bike for the OTH to be a summersault rather than a not so elegant faceplant!

I find it more amazing then! He gets it quite wrong (this pic looks like it hurt a bit) and then gets up and does it again, as many times as it takes to get it right.

 

Skills, mixed with a large helping of bravery
