Your right ashk. That back flip is insane, never seen that before...the rest is fairly standard street trials riding, check youtube there loads of vids. If you can really call that level of trials riding standard lol.
Nah, wouldn't/couldn't call it standard at all, having seen a fair bit of decent trials riding in the flesh Danny is on another level.
His backwards riding is outstanding, his ability to do huge drops and simultaneous rotations, just insane. His front wheel riding/landing is the best, even his 24" bike is not standard for trials, he does his own thing, he basically lives and breathes bikes 24/7, I love that video/soundtrack.

Yeah. i don't think thats true either. The back flip whilst highly impressive is possibly one of the easier things on that whole clip IMO. Back flips are pretty ballsy but some of the other stuff is way harder.
What makes it superm impressive is he gos off axis in the air so that he lands well clear of the tree base on flat grass and to a dead stop, thats impressive.
I agree that there is way harder stuff, like where he jumps and jams between the sandstone wall and the bike rack.
The rotating jumps and rotations into front wheel stands and especially the huge rotating jump into the subway. The mini sandstone speedway thing where he does the second jump, starting with a front wheel stand, then straight into a rotation/drop, very cool.
Peace tells me, he rides trials, I only know jack!
