Danny MacAskill

Danny MacAskill is a Scottish Trials Bike pro rider for Inspired Bicycles Ltd.[1] He released a five-and-a-half-minute stunt cycling video on YouTube on the 19th April 2009, filmed by his flat mate Dave Sowerby. The video featured stunts by MacAskill set to music of the American rock band Band of Horses and their song "The Funeral".

As of April 2009, MacAskill, a twenty-three year old from the Isle of Skye, had been practicing for more than 12 years. He gave up his job as a mechanic so he could ride full time. He now lives in Edinburgh. He often listens to music while riding.[3] In June 2009, MacAskill appeared in the music video for Doves' single "Winter Hill".[4] MacAskill also appeared in a Volkswagen TV-commercial for the new Golf.

Danny (who is also known as 'Taggart) recently decided to set the world of USA DH racing on fire at Fontanna USA. Despite being told to take it easy by Red Bull trainer Darren 'The Cone' Roberts - Taggart decided instead go 'full pipe' resulting in the inevitable massive crash and obligatory broken (for 3rd time) collarbone.

His favourite song to listen to whilst riding is 'Dominik the Donkey' (youtube).
