The wait is finally over! The new project that follows Danny MacAskill’s YouTube hit `Inspired Bicycles´ is now live. In his new production `Way Back Home´ Danny turns his incredible riding style of trial bike, mountain bike and BMX-street from the urban streets of Edinburgh to a completely different landscape as he travels Way Back Home through the Scottish Highlands and craggy coastal descents all the way to his hometown of Dunvegan in the Isle of Skye.
While ‘Way Back Home’ took Danny out into the Scottish wilderness, ‘Streets of London’ shows him riding iconic spots around the capital. Danny says: “I’ve worked closely with my clothing partner digdeep to produce this short high energy clip of me riding in London. It´s the first time i´ve filmed there, and we found some incredilbe locations. It certainly is different from my old spots in the Isle of Skye! Hope you enjoy the film as much as I did making it”.You’ll also find the new shots in a forthcoming series of ‘how-to’ films for digdeep’s YouTube channel. To celebrate the video’s release, digdeep is offering a 20% discount off the entire collection at www.digdeep.com for Danny fans until Christmas Eve. Shoppers will just need to enter the code ‘danny01’ at the checkout for it to apply to your Christmas shopping.
The last gondola just carried the last riders to the top of the mountain and the date is already set for the next White Style in 2011. For everyone who is depressed about having to stow away their bike for winter, there is a silver lining. Winter doesn’t have to be endured without any bike action because on January 28th the White Style in Leogang is celebrating its five-year anniversary! The kick off event for the coming season is the perfect opportunity for the stars and aspiring stars of the international freeride mountain bike scene to show their latest tricks.
After Sam Pilgrim from the UK was able to convince the jury in this year, in 2011 everything is possible again and we will definitely witness an exciting battle for the first place with an extraordinary riders field.
Facebook fans who enter the contest will have the opportunity to win a Mondraker Summum Pro Team downhill MTB frame worth $4000AUD (the same type of frame Andreu used to compete at the 2010 Red Bull Rampage in Utah), and $2000 worth of Unit clothing.
