Interesting article on the front page of the New York Times right now about Danny MacAskill, the guy who can do back flips off trees and various other amazing stunts:

I can't help but smile every time i watch this.
yup, that vid is still awesome the 100th time.
What kills me is that my two-year-old son loves this. Has loved it always. Can't even really talk yet, but points to the computer and asks "Bike? Bike?"

We will watch it 4-5 times in a row, easy.
time to get the kid started.

"the toast of orthopedic surgeons everywhere."
That's a funny line. Thanks for posting this video.

Oh, he's started. We got him a run bike that he really gets moving. I often have to run to keep up with him.

He also will put the front wheel on our ottomans, and then jump onto the seat as if he's doing trials work. That kills me.

Only a matter of time before he's jumping berms and doing back flips off trees.
His attitude makes him awesome....he just attacks with an intrepid force at all times...
No hesitation....or second guessing.....i would like to have seen more manuals though.
Remind me to wear protective gear next time I take a walk in Edinburgh, with this guy falling off of public buildings, bridges, and stairwells all over town...
