    I wonder how many bikes got trashed in that filming. I assume one or two were run over by the hay bale, and they weigh in around 800-1200#.

    I was impressed with the front brake control slow-riding the nose wheelie down the stone retaining wall with the rear tire hanging out. It probably isn't most people's top moment, but that one just blew my mind.

    He's got a reddit AMA going.

    "I went through two Santa Cruz 5010 cc's during the filming of Wee Day Out. One of which I drilled holes in and filled with sand for the puddle scene. The other bike is still going strong" Source Evidence that he is super human and/or that the bikes are.

    He also says "300 attempts at one trick can be quite normal! Other tricks in my videos such as the front flip over the ball onto the railway track in Imaginate took the same amount."

    Re: The latest from Danny MacAskill.... unreal as always

    As many as three hundred takes per trick???

    Clearly, he's just as good at crashing without getting hurt as he is at riding, and I mean that as a compliment.

    I was thinking that while watching the video........man he must crash a lot just to get these flawless tricks on film.......then I watched the end of the video and realized that yes he is good at crashing too

    I think he has a pretty dry sense of humor so it's tough to tell if he was that serious. Failure happens, but he comes from bicycle trials where getting things right the first try is so important. I'm guessing it's only the most complicated tricks that take him many attempts. There's an interview of him talking about one of the other films, behind the scenes style, and he talks about how they spent like all day trying to get one shot, and almost had to give up on it before he nailed it at the last minute.

    Like watching Peter Pan ride a bike. Amazing. His other videos are top notch too. I'm assuming everyone has seen "The Ridge".

    Yes, thank god for the bloopers. otherwise I would just never bother with bikes again... lol

    I was glad to see he failed on the log slide a few times.

    I liked the 2 picnic table move by the duck pond and the back roll.
