This was on TV the other night as I was skipping through the channels and I was amazed - a fantastic sense of balance and some of the stunts/tricks are just incredible.

I think it’s the magic of a man with a passion and the skills to back him up.

Skilled but no more than a top trials rider - they do similar with trials bikes.

He would have the potential to be one.

Impressive.

The bike appears to be a pedal trials bike - low seat ect.

Yeah, I saw that - I've known about Danny McCaskill for a couple of years now, and he never fails to astonish me with his sense of balance and the effortless ease he does his tricks with, most of the things he hops around on, I'd find hard to balance on foot!
    The other kids on the programme were pretty talented too  :y
