Danny Macaskill and some other street sport stars are trying to make some new vids. Looks good so far. For a Monday night C4 program anyway.

Apologies if this is a repost.

Thought all the 'new' videos were a bit too arty...except Dannys
I just want to see the moves not a close up of a spinning wheel.
Keelan Phillips (the flatland BMX rider) original video was so much better, and a real shame to hear about his friend and director of that video.

But currently loving C4's current run of 'extreme' programmes. rotate

Was watching this program with some friends and everyone agreed it was bloody great.

Danny's final film was fantastic!

Great program.
Dannys film was great (as expected) but eclipsed by the free running movie. I dont watch many free running vids so it may be that it was a fresh look at the sport. The canadian guy on skates was superb.

The flatland BMX movie was a little ... boring. How often can you make a guy using a BMX like a unicycle interesting. I think the director spiced it up with graphics and lens flare as much as he could but basically you have a guy spinning round and round and round and round and round and round on the front wheel of a bmx.

The skateboard movie was good. Once again it is an elaboration on the tired old 'board movies that have not changed in decades. Nice hand stands and spins but it does come back to olly over bollard/ down stairs/ over seat/ blah blah blah. Good scenery but it did look like tourists with skateboards.

Yep I have to agree that Danny MacAskill's film was the best of the bunch. Riding on the steel rope, flipping from one rail to the other and the back flip were fantastic. His girlfriend is rather attractive too! Good lad!
