Legendary Red Bull athlete Danny MacAskill rides down near-vertical mountain in Scotland

If you’re not familiar with the name Danny MacAskill, prepare to have your mind blown. And, if you are aware of the Scottish trials cyclist, famous for his gravity-defying exploits on a bicycle, then you’re in luck, as he’s just released another stunning video.

The footage shows Danny cycling down the sheer face of the Dubh Slabs on the Isle of Skye in Scotland, an awe-inspiring feat.
