I've seen his previous video from Skye too...incredible...that stuff is hard enough to descend on foot let alone on a bike.
Makes me really want to visit Skye again, which might be my favourite place in the UK...it's been too long.
You see him out and about up here.
Always friendly, and based in Aviemore I believe.
A friend worked on the Skye shoot with him, which was shown on BBC1 up here.
Another excellent DM film.

Amazing skill, Not his usual stunts but riding that is amazing. The ridge, I think his most successful film, is definitely worth watching for anyone that hasn't.
One of my heroes. Both he and Fabio Wibmer have some amazing video footage on YouTube
Thanks for posting. Love a DM video. And to think how camera's usually flatten the terrain, some of those slabs must have been 75 degs plus, especially that part in the shade around 4:20 - 5:00. I've done a bit of climbing in Skye and the scenery (when it isn't misty and raining!) is amazing.
The Ridge is an awesome video and well worth anyone's time to watch if they haven't seen it.
That was brilliant! Just watched it with the family. My boy is getting a new mountain bike for his birthday in a few weeks. After watching the video I had to set some expectation about what he could do on it.
A legend and lots of other good videos to watch
Awesome video but how the hell was that shot?

The credits at the end name the drone pilot, they are essential for this sort of spectacle, I reckon.Originally Posted by Dr.f
My take is head cam and body cam on Danny plus at least two if not more drones. It had been scripted, if you notice there are boulders/ stones marking his entrance to some of the tricky sections. That would allow some fixed cams as well.

Think my favourite has to be Danny's wee day out.
Definitely well practiced and rehearsed as all these videos are. You can’t do it any other way.
The footage is incredible though and wouldn’t have been possible just 10/15 years ago.
Old MTB films like The Collective needed large crews of cameramen and helicopters for those type shots. Now riders can head out with two GoPros and a DJI Mavic Air Drone and capture 4k video.
Thumbs up to Magura for the brakes, he trusts them with his life.
DM never disappoints, that's quite spectacular knowing the area. The exposure is something else. I wonder how far the bike/s fell when he undoubtedly came off during the number of takes that would have been needed? Watching that brought back memories of Skye, I used to go up every year, but I doubt my body or nerves would be up to it these days! My hardest day ever on mountains was the Round of Coire Lagan - up Sgurr Dearg, climb the In Pin and abseil off, across Collies Ledge, Sgurr Alasdair etc , happy days. Contemplating on Sgurr na Gillean after getting up the west ridge, 2002 . . .
F.T.F.A.
Seen a few of his vids before but just watched that , thanks for the link,
Stunning scenery and the boy certainly has some skills (balls)
I felt (wished) I was there now
He’s seriously good but the drone operator needs a mention too, outstanding work by them

An enjoyable watch indeed.

There’s ‘making of’ this video now on Youtube. Impressive stuff for a small team.
