Here is a video highlighting the talents of Scottish street cyclist Danny MacAskill, filmed by David Sowerby in the area around Edinburgh. MacAskill has been practicing for more than twelve years, and recently gave up his job as a mechanic to focus on cycling full-time.

  • Do you enjoy biking? Have you ever done any street cycling similar to Danny’s?
  • What other sports do you know of that can be done on the streets and in the midst of communities?
  • What are your favourite ways to exercise and/or spend your free time?

This driver is very powerful on the streets, it is necessary to practice every day, faith is also very important. I have not done any street cycling similar to Danny’s, i I think it very dangerous to do ,so I would not try such a dangerous thing. Sometimes, there are holidays I will go out riding a bike with my friends, this is a moment of enjoyment. Other such as hip-hop, drawing, playing the violin and so on, can be done on the streets and in the midst of communities. My favourite ways to exercise is to play badminton, if I have free time, I usually go out shopping with friends, or with my family.

It is a kind of amazing skill,when the film just begin I think it is a action movie,because it is really unbelievable.It is cool,but it is a very dangerous activity,I do not think play this is a good choice during our free time,unless you want to be a stunt man.

I pretty enjoy to see those extreme sports, especially cycling, but non of my friends play it. Most of them play the skateboards. I have seen them for a few times and there is only one thing I can say, they are flying with the boards. It is amazing! Usually, I do not play the sports, but I like to watch people playing.

It’s my first time watch a video in your blog and it’s amazing. I think that’s cool if a boy plays the street cycling. I want to play that too if i can.
