MonsieurMonkey Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 I only read what one of those other adventurers did (Cory something, the climber) and he deserves it so many times more than Danny does. I mean no disrespect to Danny, but 8000m Winter ascent + Avalanche on the way down. That's a proper adventurer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how Danny can be seen as an adventurer as such if I was being pedantic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Yeah, not really in the same league are they. Not sure how Danny can be seen as an adventurer as such if I was being pedantic. He is travelling around the world quite a lot and making videos in different places, which I'd say is an adventure, but I'd agree it's not really in the same league.

Mellish123 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Stepping out the door is an adventure if you want it to be... I do agree that cory is in a league of his own though <------ WATCH!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsieurMonkey Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 I think Danny is amazing, and he deserves a lot of credit. But he's not an adventurer, to me an adventurer is an explorer, like the guy that did a solo trek of the entire Amazon river etc. Danny has a great skill, in the same way Messi does, but neither of them are adventurers I'd say Danny Hart's downhill run in Champerey was more of an Adventure than anything Macaskill has done. By the way, whereabouts in Barrow are you? My girlfriend's from up that way, is there much good riding there, I've seen a few good spots, but just wondered how much there really is? I'm thinking street more than natty as well. I'm sure there's plenty of insane natty within 30 mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Dave Sowerby, released a video of MacAskill leaping, flipping, and balancing across Edinburgh’s famous buildings, parks, and back alleys on his bike. No one had seen riding like this before. Danny MacAskill invents trials riding shocker! But really his hsit is cool but adventurous? Hardly.

Revolver Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Weeeell, his Way Back Home video was a bit of an adventure, you can't argue with that, but it's not as big an adventure as what these other dudes have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 (edited) I think its actually quite insulting.

JD™ Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Being as we don't know what any of these guys and girls will do in 2012, I think they should all receive no votes. Really though, why can't it be labelled as 2011, being as that's what we're f**king judging them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
