Danny MacAskill Tricks His Way From Edinburgh to Skye

Submitted by edg on Wed, 17 Nov '10 6.52am

Danny MacAskill, the stunt cyclist who became an overnight YouTube sensation in April last year with Inspired Cycles, is back at his old tricks.

A new short video, released online yesterday, shows the stunt cyclist somersaulting off the walls of Edinburgh Castle, bounding and leaping off the ruins of Inchgarvie, under the Forth Bridges, and showing off his improvised balletic magic along Scotland's rugged coastline and on and off numerous walls - such as a dam, a croft, and a seawall. 

Entitled Danny MacAskill: Way Back Home, the 7 minute 43 second film shows off the stunt cyclist's skills on a journey from Edinburgh back to his hometown of Dunvegan on the Isle of Skye.

The film was sponsored  by Red Bull - so MacAskill is also seen having an obligatory swig of the caffeinated beverage between stunts.
