Danny MacAskill - How we made "The Slabs"...

[@jflynn495]

The best part was him taking time after a full day of filming to go and ride with the kids in the village. They will remember that for a very long time.

[@scottsorby7966]

Absolutely, taking the time to ride with them even though he was tired made him a hero to the kids

[@bigarnd]

Absolute class act he is

[@dr3iii]

I know right? Danny is a people person, he likes interacting with people just like during his visit in the Philippines he rode with us in the streets

[@mackellarboy7]

Ano legend

[@MichaMille65]

He is a hero! 👍👍👍💪💪💪

[@llove-electrical]

Danny's just created the worlds hardest strava segment.

Me falling down the slabs will easily beat his time haha.

[@katrinahase]

Loved seeing the kids meet the boat with their bikes. Riding with Danny will be a night they'll talk about for years!

[@patrickd1791]

What a great guy with a big heart! I'm sure he was exhausted after that very long day and he still went out and played with those kids. This world needs more Danny's

[@mishmasta]

I almost like Danny's making of videos better than the edited cut. It's wild to see the inclines in perspective with people standing on them. Huge props for riding with the kids, too. Who knows, he might have inspired another great rider in the making.

[@AnormalLifeisboring]

Danny: Go to the "Slabs" find my drone and I'll give you a Mars bar. Everyone: OK!!

It’s always hard to tell how steep something is on camera but at 13:36 it shows you perfectly how steep that slap is. Nice one Danny and the rest of the crew

[@BMrider75]

[@thelastdruidofscotland]

met danny and his crew a few times now, always kind enough to have a wee chat and humble enough to be approachable, and he always stops to chat and offer advice to the kids wherever he is, top bloke.

[@basicmtber3840]

seems like it in the vids too

[@Smudgegs]

Playing with the kids shows your big heart, they'll talk about that years from now. Chapeau Chap :-)

[@beeble2003]

Danny = big kid. The only thing he doesn't understand is why all those other kids were so much smaller than him.

How could anyone give this a thumbs down? Some of the best videos out there. Such incredibly steep footage. Kudos Danny.

[@MIKE-TYTHON]

What a genuine guy Danny is. It was so nice, how they went out with the kids, after filming all day as well. It shows how nice these guys are. So glad I watched this 😊.

[@franciscollie7136]

I would watch a two hour documentary on this. Or just all the raw footage to be honest. Insane.

[@678crazydave]

You are an absolute legend. I love your drive and ambition and class

[@trialsrob214]

One thing that I really like about Danny is his friendly humble personality and the way he treats his fans, after a tough day at work he still has time for the fans, very class act

[@chrisbeere2117]

So modest, so chill but its the breathtaking skill and bravery that leaves you speechless. Big up Danny, you are truly a legend mate.

Lost count of how many times I've watched this (and the final cut) and still flinch at some points. I have an admission. I'm using this video as part of a training session to staff at my school about Safety Risk Assessment - "". Although we might not do this with the 10 year olds. Brilliant.
