That is amazing. I am constantly amazed by people. Great cinematic work too. Thanks Peter.
I broke down in Skye once - there are some really oddball characters who live there. But they were very accommodating whilst I waited for parts to a Citroen CX (stupidest car I ever owned).

That dude wears me out just watching him...

Interestingly enough I surfed my way to a few of his videos a couple of weeks ago..
this one is very imaginative ... very ;)

Thank you Peter. :) No - I hadn't seen it before: I'd never even heard of Danny MacAskill. I've just spent a good half hour watching his stuff on Youtube though, properly enthralled.

The 'Making the Ridge' videos on Cut Media's channel are worth a watch too. This one for example shows the climb up the 'inaccessible pinnacle': it looks like Danny—being a headstrong, risk-taker type chappie—frightened his team by unclipping from the safety line on the way up. :worried:

I'll certainly be keeping an eye out for what he gets up to next.

Cheers,
Nick
