Rusevelt Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) A little article of Danny chatting about traversing through Edinburgh's iconic places. I wonder if DMC will be down London this weekend for the Redbull 'ART OF MOTION' parkour competition event at the Royal National Theatre. .

sstein Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I read this. I got quite annoyed by the fact that they called him a 'bmx daredevil' and said he rides a 'trail' bike. But oh well, even if they get the names wrong it is still exposure for the sport I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) Yeah i read this on the tube this morning. My girlfriend rang me saying "there's an article in the Metro that will make you happy". It did not. Sick of hearing 'parkour on 2 wheels' and his bike ain't made my redbull. I mean the interviewer spent the day with him and he still calls his bike a BMX. The Metro is utter bollocks.

Agreed, we don't call football 'kicking balls with nets' And considering in all of his interviews he has said 'I'm a trials rider' then they write down 'I am a BMXer'. I can't even comprehend the stupidity of these people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusevelt Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) I'm pretty sure that todays dedicated scene of Bmxers, and Parkour/Freerunners, do not equally support Metro's distinction of what DMC does on a bike. That fact that Danny is putting trials, Bmx, Parkour, on the map of Londoners is ultimately a good thing. Not forgetting Edinburgh, which is what this article is really about.....promoting tourism.

Matthew62 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 That's true, there's no real point in journalists getting things correct anyway - it's all just words really, no ones actually reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 How about everyone just shuts the f**k up being whiny little bitches and just chills out about it. Calling it BMX or a trails bike is a whole lot less annoying than people moaning about it every single time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 I don't think this is whining - it's not the usual "Danny's not trials blah blah blah" My comment is that from the Metro it's very sloppy reporting and as someone who see's it everyday it's just another example of how bad a publication it really is. As a journalist a huge factor to your job is researching your story/subject and if you're making such fundamental mistakes the it's not a great sign is it? Also to the millions of Londoner's who were reading that paper, some of them might have though.."f**k yeah that stuff looks a lot of fun - i like that fuzzy faced Scottish fella - i'm 'a' goin get myself a sweet ass bmx' it doesn't really help does it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
