sideburns(dnt ask) Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Major props. Anyone who has the chance to potentially live by what they love is obviously doing somthing right with their lives. Who would have thought that such things could come from a youtube video.

Mark W Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I was quite surprised that unlike Sky, they actually did some research before writing that article. It was surprisingly informative, even though you could kinda tell that they didn't really get it. Hope he can make the most of it while it lasts though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I think that's the big thing here - converting the opportunity into something longer-lasting. Potentially with companies like Red Bull, etc, around that's a possibility, and stunt work for films has got to be worth getting into. If he can become the 'go to guy' for stunts involving bicycles at Hollywood then he's onto a winner!! Either way I think it's fantastic what he's doing, and doubt anyone deserves it more. Just shows what can be achieved if you leave the tape measure at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsMan Dan Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Macaskill is going from strength to strength now. I first heard about him about 3 years ago when i went to watch the 7 Stanes display team, Danny was part of the team and that made me want to get into trials riding. I guess back then, he was only known in the trials community here in Britain, but now hes a global superstar, all because of one video . Just goes to show how quickly word gets around.

Mark W Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 My worry now though is he might end up getting a bit cocky. Met him a few weeks ago and he's sound as f**k Just really excited about getting riding again & trying new tricks. He was getting battered at the Sheffield mototrials round but still had time for everyone and was great when he was talking to all the kids who were getting his autograph 'n' stuff.

Rusevelt Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 If this confusion with Ali.C and Danny Mac continues to grow, ali just could easily fill in danny's shoes esspecially when MBUK dont have a clue whos who. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
