Danny MacAskill's new video 'Industrial Revolutions'

Awesome skill, saw it on Ch4's Concrete Circus, which also showcased Parkour, flatland BMX and skateboard videos.

Corrected for you.

Although the jumps and moves can look amazing it does rather encourage ham-fisted idiots with no coordination or sense of balance to have a go and break several bones. Trouble is people should be able to have a go if they want - perhaps there should be an aptitude test first, a bit like CBT.

parkour - grrrr i have a HUGE soapbox about that.

but Danny Mac was great!

I agree, hopefully people have sense than to try copy it, although natural selection and all that lol. I'm very happy watching the experts do it from the sofa lol

Why?? Keeps em busy gives em summit to do. So what if they hurt emselves, everyone has to start these things somewhere. My boy does BMX-ing (Not Flatland) when he started he smashed his face his fractured his arm and had various cuts, grazes and bruises now he is very good at it, worst thing recently is a wrecked pair of trainers

Danny Mac was awesome as usual as well

I used to feel like that. Going home from lectures when at uni I used to pass an area that the skateboarding kids frequented, and would laugh out loud when they fell off - more so when they started bleeding. Trouble is I'm a taxpayer now and realise I am footing the A&E bill for fixing them up again...
