Whilst it's pretty cool that we're on the map, I'm not really blown away compared to what we've seen before - granted they probably didn't have much time compared to the months in edinburgh. I'm sure most of this could have been done by local trials guys. Except maybe that jump between the freeways...that just looks ballsy!

also danny's bike far from trial setup and he rides to fast for trial .. shure some of our locals can ride like him ..

The crew he was working with kind of limited what he could do - they had a very specific (german) idea of what they wanted, so the creativity wasn't there as much as when he rides with mates back home.

 

Dude still has skills, just makes it look so damn easy.

 

Keep an eye out, Danny is busy filming with Anthill - I rate that section is going to be top notch in their next film

Rumour has it he rode a 3h15 Argus when he was here - on a borrowed road bike with flat pedals - now that's impressive for a Trials Dude!

What I've learnt from these clips is simply that NOTHING is unrideable. It only depends on NUTS. How nuts you are and how big your nuts are!
