Danny Macaskill testing the limits of mountain biking, riding down the infamous Dubh Slabs on the Isle of Skye...

A Danny MacAskill film by Peny - www.wearepeny.com/
With many of our overseas filming plans cancelled as a result of recent times myself and the crew decided to look a little closer to home for our latest film.
I am a big fan of rock climbing and have been inspired by the various men and woman who set new routes and test themselves on some amazing faces around the world so I set out to find some challenging Slab Rock routes on my home Island of Skye with an aim to ride them in a continuous line and test what was possible on my bike. The remote Dubh Slabs rising out of Loch Coruisk in the heart of the Black Cuilin ridge provided some of the steepest terrain I have ever ridden as well as an amazing back drop for the film.
The remote location and steep face forced us to think outside the box and meant we had to move away from traditional filming techniques, with us opting to shoot the entire film using GoPros mounted on myself and an FPV (First Person View) racing drone.

They did a masterful job of showing three camera angles of that upcoming gap between slabs to build the suspense, and I had ZERO clue he was going to go straight up that part to the left. My brain wasn't expecting that, and I actually said, "WHOOAAA" out loud when he did that. It looked like if he fell right, it was a 100+ foot fall. SKETCH.

There must've been a heli with medics on board around in case something went wrong the whole magic is to not show any of that on the video, which is admirable, but I'm sure there was a helicopter flying above ready to help in a matter of seconds. given all that, great video and massive balls to actually ride that hill lots of risky points and the bike's grip and break shields' performance during the steep parts were actually incredible

    I mean, sure, carrying a full-sus bike is tedious (it's not an e-bike BTW, that's just Santa Cruz' rear suspension design), and over these rocks it's pretty difficult. But it's not something most accomplished&fit climbers couldn't also handle. The carrying part is _nowhere near_ as remarkable as his riding down, which is just total madness. And: I doubt they actually used a helicopter much for getting up. Most of the work for this video was probably “research” to find the best way to ride down, and practicing the dangerous parts (i.e. _all_ parts) a bunch of times, with safety mats lying around and maybe security rope and whatnot. That would have taken a lot of time during which the helicopter wouldn't be needed, and helicopters are _expensive_ - even for a star like him.
