Danny MacAskill, the world's most awesome trials rider, is descended from giants.

"MacAskill was well known for feats of strength such as lifting a ship's anchor weighing 2,800 pounds (1,300 kg) to chest height, and an ability to carry barrels weighing over 350 pounds (160 kg) apiece under each arm or reputedly able to lift a hundredweight (50 kg) with two fingers and hold it at arms length for ten minutes. People also claimed to see Angus lift a full-grown horse over a 4-foot (1.2 m) fence, without breaking a sweat."

No wonder Danny's riding is so fantastic, with ancestors like that!

WHAT! When did you find out about this superhuman?

I've been following Danny since 2010 or 2011. If you like that video, he's got a bunch more.

Yeah dude, love the post you made, that superhuman is out of this world, I thought it was just your jesting but when I went to research him it seems it's very true!
Also the video was awesome, the outtakes is what makes me get on the bike lol!
