Danny Mac Askill's riding is different than anybody elses. He rides trials, but also integrates elements from BMX, street and even flatland, together with mountain bike freeride. In his videos you see him doing flairs (backlip-180) on a tree, bunny-hop tailwhips, 360 drops of huge staircases, he rides along on a skinny fence or wheels backwards on his front wheel. You can name it progressive trials or urban freeriding, but in the end it simply stands for DANNY MACASKILL! The bike phenomenon is riding since 1996, starting at an early age: "I have always really enjoyed riding bikes from a very young age and it is exactly the same today, I still ride my bike just for fun! I don't train or take myself too seriously" Born on the picturesque Isle of Skye he now lives in Scotland's Capital Edinburgh and if he wasn't a pro athlete, he once said: "I would probably just be a plumber on the Isle of Skye!" Danny is not only a good bike rider, but he also has a lot of of Scottish humour! Especially when he rides in front of thousands of people and signs autographs, he's still humble, friendly and has always got a smile on his face. Danny stayed down to earth with both of his feet or to say on his bike for most of the time!
