  2. UNBEATABLE!! He has not only cheered up a January Monday morning but has actually made the sun come out. Yes the sun - it hasn't been seen here for weeks! THAT, my friends, is the glorious power of Danny MacAskill.

  3. Wow - this really is incredible. Amazing, and beautiful, stuff. I've watched it twice already. (And it makes me see my ability to cycle no- handed in a different and slightly less glorious light).
