From the ages of about 10 through 14 I was pretty keen on skateboarding and although I sucked at it, I couldn't look at a gap, rail, bush, steep road...without dreaming of some cool trick that I would like to do on it. Unfortunately, I never had much follow through on these daydreams and what little footage I might have had of my attempts further deflated my ego, with my supposedly cool "big air", being neither cool, nor big when caught on tape :)
So although I didn't have the skill to pull off the moves, I spent a lot of time imagining the possibilities. Some, people, like Danny MacAskill of internet fame, do have the ability to look at a feature, imagine a trick and pull it off in a very graceful way that does look big and cool on tape (after more than a few unrecorded/edited tries and bruises I'm sure). Well he is back, stunning me again with another amazing video, enjoy:

This is amazing! Shame Red Bull has to put their logo on everything..
I agree, he is a bit more logoed up than last time, but rightly so!
They are an unabashedly "in your face" brand schlepping a super sketchy product, but they certainly know how to grab attention.
Thanks for posting. My son is into it in a big way now and forwarded it on to him. Our backyard now consists of a large number of jumps.
Crazy awesome video. Some gorgeous scenery there...does anyone know where it was filmed? I am guessing Europe, but not sure exactly where in Europe.
Oops, never mind, Edinburgh to Skye.
This video is 'diculous Adam!
