Trials Rider, Danny MacAskill Keeps Us Inspired...  Rad.

This footage from Inspired Bicycles, Danny MacAskill (April 2009) is bonkers.  There are few riders out there who can compare to his skill level.  Tight.  Hans Rey, my favorite (and legendary) GT Trials rider is another one to watch, but this video here I found myself watching over and over again.  You might too.
