He's been at it again biggrin

It's already been posted in the Cycle forum, but I thought a heads up in here was worth it, if only for some of the locations featuring on many a hoon biggrin

This is the original link in the Pedal Powered forum, so prob best to direct comments there.

Already watched this about a dozen times smile

I think just about every one of my biking mates on Facebook has linked to the video. The guy is a major talent.

Danny had some serious skills in that movie. What does he do with the rest of his time?

Are you mates with the filmer? (Mark Huskison IIRC?). I've bought both smile. I loved "Home", not so keen on "Find". I've been along to the GFT in Glasgow for the screenings of both and just couldn't click with Find, too much talking, nowhere near enough action. Gutted, as I KNOW there was a lot of excellent footage shot up north during Hans Rey and MacAskill's visit - I've seen some of it on the MTBcut (I think) website.

See in the Edinburgh video of him, you can see me in a silver Ford Kuga commuting to work as he jumps off the shop opposite the Odeon cinema on Lothian Road.

Torridon and Skye, both awesomely good.

"Follow Me" was shown in Aberdeen.

Danny rides for the clan when he isnt filming, used to work in a bke shop in embra not sure if thats still the case. Will purchase this if it helps see more of the same.

Don't you love the power of the internet, as well as seeing this here withing the last 24 hours I have received links to this from 5 friends, none of whom know each other!

Fantastic video as always, would maybe say less "breathtaking" than the original but maybe thats due to the bar being set so high?

Would be interested in seeing the out takes, must be out there somewhere???

I've received the link a couple of times from folk at work "because they know I like cycling", but I've seen the link posted by at least 15 of my friends (and their friends) on Facebook. As you say, power of the internet...

If anyone likes that stuff, it's worth checking out the latest biking film released called "Life Cycles". I was at the Euro premiere in Glasgow last week and it's a truely stunning bit of filming. The riding is great but not spectacular, but the quality of filming (all in HD with DTS5.1) just blew us all away. Was worth seeing it on the big screen but should be just as good on a TV with Blu-Ray.

Edit: Life Cycles being shown in Edinburgh on 12th Dec if anyone was interested: http://www.singletrackworld.com/2010/10/lifecycles...

Is he teaching others, competing around the world or just working in an office somewhere?
