Danny Mac Skills Questioned

Recommended Posts

Dannys posted this on facebook, thought I'd put it here too. From what I can gather, they were trying to see if dannys skills were edited, flukes or geniuine. Obviously we know theyre genuine, but in the show they asked him to redo the stuff he did in the video for them as proof...

Anyway here you go

There is no doubt that he has a hell of a lot of talent. i think the germans are just jealous of him.

People making mistakes shows you are human, yes watching all the videos showing all of the really good stuff is good to watch but the making mistakes shows you that they actually human.

To be honest, having him messing up is probably a good thing. If people see his video and think "Ooh, I'd like to do that!" then it might be pretty disheartening to see how hard it actually is to ride trials. If they can see that even the best get it wrong, then it might be more encouraging for them?

He said that every single line in the video took hours and hours of attempts to get right. Consistency is never going to be easy to achieve when you're pushing the boundaries of what's possible with things people have never tried before.

Yeah, 100% - but it seems most people still kinda underestimate how hard stuff like that actually is...
No kidding ;)

I'll admit the "how hard can it be" thought has flashed by in my head as well, and when i started out a few weeks ago it truly was a bit of a drag to find out just how hard it really is. Still, i was prepared for it not being easy so it was not that much of a surprise but it kinda lingered in the back of my head for a few days.

Really liked that! Loved how they cut Danny's original video up to suit the feature and I also loved how the actual show was shot, really high quality production! Think I might have said this before but if the original video was shot in 16:9 it would have looked better on that show as well as all the news coverage Danny has had, but like he's said, it was a complete shock and surprise just how much world-wide attention the video got!
