If you haven’t seen this amazing show reel from Danny MacAskill, it’s time to stop what you’re doing and gawk.
In fairness, I think the opening trick on the cast iron fence is perhaps the best thing in the video, but it’s totally worth the price of admission – hard for me to imagine doing such a thing.
Then, for a little context, check out this Edison footage of bike tricks from 120 years ago. Sure, it’s not MacAskill, but it’s a whole ‘nother era in terms of gear, both bike and camera, and it would be interesting to see what Neidert was able to do without the constraints of a small stage and a short one-take camera set-up.
I don’t remember who on Twitter tipped me to the MacAskill video; vitjan via Shadowhand gets the thanks for the Edison footage.
Camera gear and maintenance costs money, so if you're one of the many people using my photos in their work (some examples) or just want to support the cause, it would be cool if you could drop a few pennies in the jar on the way by. Thanks!
