Some guys hone their skills so well they are able to perform amazing feats that other mortals have a hard time imagining, much less imagining doing themselves. Such a man is Danny MacAskill. The guy is a Scottish cyclist who can ride a bike anywhere — jumping fences, riding on top of fences. He can bust moves in a city over concrete in ways that you have to watch two or three times just to understand.

Meanwhile, that’s all well and good, but what about outdoor adventure?

We stumbled upon a new Danny MacAskill video that is just too good not to share: Danny MacAskill: The Ridge. It is freaking amazing. First, the cinematography is great, and second, the crazy skill and joy he exudes is something else, too. So what’s the “ridge?”

The Cuillin Ridgeline somewhere near the Isle of Skye in Scotland. Beautiful country . . . and some wicked cool moves that many of us couldn’t do in a pair of hiking boots, much less on a mountain bike. Check it out:

Why You Can Trust Us to Make Unbiased Reviews and Recommendations

Man Makes Fire has been reviewing outdoor gear since 2011. We buy gear to evaluate and gear manufacturers occasionally ship review units to us to test because they trust the quality of our in-depth reviews. We carefully evaluate the gear in-person and review it only if it is very good, noting if it was provided to us. After the review, we return it, give it away, or use it for longer-term updates. We do not accept any gear in exchange for coverage. We only recommend gear we believe in, focusing on reputable companies, brands, and retailers we trust so that you have a good experience, too. When you buy using the retail links in our guides and reviews, we may earn a small affiliate commission that helps pay for our work. We take pride in delivering the unbiased advice and gear recommendations you need so you can choose the right gear for your own outdoor adventures.
