This video shows the power of music and the master of an art-form. Danny MacAskill, the bike rider in this video, shows off his dedication and talent with the bicycle. The beginning of this video starts by showing him practicing a specific stunt. The use of this scene shows that even a skilled rider has to put a lot of effort to get a trick right and can even fail at times. The song then hits its crescendo and from then on it is a amazing ride with Danny through the city of Edinburgh.
I enjoy parkour and other extreme sports and what we strive for is to have our instruments, as well as the city, be extensions of ourselves. This is what this video truly shows and highlights. Danny and his bike become one and you can tell through both the way he moves and the emotion when he crashes and is fixing his bike. Its the "get up and try again" mentality that keeps all extreme sports people going.
I will be posting a lot of videos like this and talk about how the sports have impacted my life, but I really wanted to highlight this one as my first post because of the power that this video holds. I feel like it can inspire everyone who watches, just like it inspired me to keep pushing myself in parkour.
