Danny MacAskill is well known for his extreme bike handling skills. His creative approach to using Edinburgh’s urban assets is striking.

It’s easy to find videos of his trick riding on the web. Now there is a new one shot in recent months by Dave Sowerby.

As a rider himself (some history) he is in tune with what Danny is likely to do – something which is clear in the consistently impressive framing and following of the inspiring action.

The duo are no longer a local curiousity with a small cult following. The latest video on YouTube has had around 170,000 hits in its first day – being beaten by Miss California, The Black Eyed Peas and not much else!

UPDATE: Overnight the count seems to have jumped to almost 300k – can this be true?!

UPDATE 2: another 24 hours and the counter says 687,287.
