Danny MacAskill - Way Back Home Edinburgh to Skye

The short film- Way Back Home tracks a journey street trials artist Danny MacAskill from Edinburgh to Skye with beautiful locales of Scotland as he travels to his hometown of Dunvegan in the Isle of Skye.

It has him performing stunts in Scottish villages,bakery streets,phone booths,wartime bunkers,Edinburgh castle,old arc bridges and hydoelectric power stations.At 1:46 mark in the video,he continues cycling where its clearly written ‘cyclists dismount’- confident and defiant.

Each move succesively better than the previous one .It falls into Nadia Comăneci’s perfect 10 category in grace and control,but the video is edited product ,however I doubt if Danny MacAskill ever missed a trick ..incredible,almost orgasmic control .

By his own admisssion, MacAskill has said that he didn’t believe that he could make a living out of his cycling stunts.His earlier video brought him recognition and help him get an ad of Volkswagen .This is the follow up video and has an incredible viral quality .Such is it beauty that you will surely watch it multuiple times.I have watched 4 times already.At this point ,since 8 days of its release on the net,it has got 2.25 million hits.

But then I shoudn’t be surprised he has skill in his name ;)

Produced by RedBull,and shot by his flatmate and friend Dave Sowerby, it has used two songs,Wax and Wire by Loch Lomond and A Little Piece by The Jezebels.The video,the location,the stunts,the music,it all just ...works.Its too good for words to form a summation .Watch it and you will know why !!!!
