Danny MacAskill rides near vertical rock climbing routes on the Dubh Slabs on Skye.
““It’s not like climbing with ropes. I am basically learning how to do this stuff but there is no safety involved – no rope. You make calculations as to what could happen if things go wrong, but it’s best maybe not to think about it too much, rather to think about the positives. There are some kind of slabs in there that have no runout at the bottom, once you go into them there is no way of stopping so you are fully trusting your brakes and tires,” he said.
This just blows me away, he’s almost sat on the back tyre. The brake setup must be so powerful.
