Don't know how you do it Danny. For years I've been watching your videos and thinking he can't top this one, and then you always manage to. As always beautifully shot and scored as well.
FFS Danny - I'm a nervous wreck after watching that. Currently lying on the floor, thanking it for being so flat and safe. Apart from that, fantastic work! 😃
Yeah, that was nerve racking. There's three videos that make my palms sweat. One is the world's scariest hiking trail (i can't find the original video), tower climbers working, extreme jobs high voltage power line inspection.
I work as an Enercon turbine tech. I go up those turbines for maintenance. This is incredible that Danny Mac has had a wee pedal along a blade. Well done.
@@vanoscrap6296 broken parts are repaired extensively, increasing the lifespan of the resources. The blades are again repaired extensively and at end of life repurposed as bus shelters in some countries such as Norway. Some waste does occur but every effort is made to make things last and be repaired. Hope that helps.
@@katiefinnegan4649 And now they have developed wind turbine blades that are recycable. Of course, it would have been better that the blade's materials had already been easely recycable, but in real life they useally go with the first thing that works and make it better if it is required.
Not just the mind-boggling riding as we expect, but the soundtrack is from my favorite musical group around today - The Joy Formidable, from Wales. Song is "Greatest Light is the Greatest Shade ".

Очень хорошо. Мне кажется многие способы решения проблем экологии не могут или с большими усилиями могут решиться в рыночной экономике. Например повторное использование стеклянных бутылок. В СССР молоко, алкоголь выпускался в стандартных бутылках и мог быть повторно использован. В РФ, к удивлению, до сих пор продается натуральная молочная продукция для детей при покупке которой желательно принести старые использованные бутылки. В вашей стране раньше было распространено использование стандартных стеклянных бутылок которые можно было сдавать на переработку в магазине? Так, залоговая стоимость пол-литровой бутылки из-под минеральной воды в 20 коп. (со 2 апреля 1977 года, до этого с 1961 года стоила 12 коп.) была вдвое дороже содержимого самой бутылки (10 коп.), а залоговая стоимость молочной бутылки (15 коп.) была сопоставима со стоимостью содержавшегося в ней пол-литра молока или кефира (15−20 коп.)
I agree. We.need to clean up first. I wonder whether our controllers truly care about the state of our planet... Cl!m@te ch@nge seems to be a means to get to a goal. If they want they can limit our time in nature because "nature needs a break from people in order to recover" and so they can further separate us from our roots. The natural world which keeps us sane. Same senc0rsh!p as with CV btw 😏
I think Danny was a bird in a former life , there's no other word for it he's incredible , a down to earth nice guy , always great music ; make danny the prime minister , h'ell sort the country out Thank you for being you danny 🤘🤟👋
Great Project and Video! Thank you Danny for your support. I also invest heavily in renewable Electricity. We need to replace all Oil, Gas and Coal, that is a massive Challenge that we can only solve together.
Danny you are awesome, keep holding your line, your passion and your statement to the world; we have just one planet and it's the only one for all of us - stay safe and healthy! #oneforallandallforone
Nuclear power plants have 10x smaller CO2 emissions than renewables, that is solar and wind turbines. The cooling tower emits water vapour only. Good point noting it. There is a lot of misconceptions about nuclear energy.
How much money does Google, RUclips and Redbull give? Propaganda of the G.A.F.A.M. who pollute how them? Propaganda pro-windmill that destroys landscapes and rural fabric
@@charlesderastouil329 Bad example for a world-spanning secret cabal. What do you think happens when you watch the video or load the page? You force the servers and network infrastructure to work harder. This is especially true for HD quality videos with a high framerate (60fps). Not to mention the need for storing multiple copies of videos and backups. You are part of the problem and the reason why they have emissions.
I can't even post a comment without someone removing it. CO2, most likely, has nothing to do with the minuscule warming we observed throughout the 20th century.
@@C_R_O_M________ AI filter can be overzealous. Speaking on CO2, I don't understand why people with zero credentials or at least legitimate interest in climate science are so obsessed with blaming pretty much anything but the human CO2 emissions. What is most likely here is that you don't know much about climate.
Amazing! We at Recon Aerial inspect these turbines using drones and are part of the renewable industry. Combining Dannys' incredible human power with the vast potential of renewable power is not only timely it's a perfect match! Nice going, Danny.
When we went out on the turbine blade I was getting annoyed until I saw he was tied off and that allowed me to enjoy it to the end. Sometimes the risks are just too much. Great video as always.
What an incredible project and what a great way to use your unbelievable skill and daring. That last shot is probably one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen. Beautifully shot project altogether
Good to see you using your platform to highlight the changes that are needed. Let’s hope BoJo and the other Bozos listen. Otherwise may their names be forever recorded in the history books as those that had the opportunity to do something but choose greed over our children’s and planet’s future.
it is simply that the International Monetary Fund pays huge sums of money to advertise global warming, when in fact climate change is completely natural
@@arturow2686 they may not be entirely responsible for the past, but they do have the power to effect all our futures. They are policy makers after all.
This is an awesome fundraiser and wake up call for multiple generations Danny, Thank you. I would like to ask that every subscriber donates 1-4 dollars. Do the math and imagine the impact we can make by donating 1-4 dollars. Shoutout to Greta Thunberg for leading the charge.
Oh My God! I wish I hadn't watched that. My tummy is doing summersaults making me dizzy, and it's going to carry on doing it all day after seeing Danny on the turbine blade a zillion feet from the ground. Life insurance salesman: 'What did you say your name is sir?' Danny: 'I'm Danny MacAskill.' The sound of life insurance salesman running into the distance...

@@bhew7409 The amount of waste is fairly small and they are safe ways to store it. Btw. the "argument" with the children is the most pathetic way for people without any argument to defend their cause. Always reminds me of the Simpsons :D
@@KapitanPisoar1 I was just refering to future generations but children reads better. And, it is already too much we don't need anymore. One day in sure some bright spark might work out it can be fired into the sun or something but until we can deal with the waste it's unethical to make it. Renewables are a far more intelligent way of creating electricity. What we need to work on is energy storage to complement it, over time wind, sun and hydro will only become more efficient and cost effective. Nuclear is 60s technology.
@@bhew7409 Nuclear is 60s technology? What kind of argument is that? In that case wind is 7th century technology, the hydro is a 3rd century BC tech and the solar is 1830s technology. And you call me ignorant, how funny is that...
Excellent concept, though there are some questions remaining. Globally, electricity as a proportion of total energy is only around 22% according to sources. This will increase as the world shifts towards electric powered transport. Also, in the US, renewables only make up ~20% of total energy and so, 29% globally could be an overstatement. Also, renewables are not the only climate-saving option. Nuclear is likely the biggest contender for safe electron generation. Cheers - Dave
@@GregHassler Greg - yes, I've just read the IEA report on renewables, 2021. Interestingly wind is charted to be the top growth area in renewable electricity sources. I'm surprised nuclear is so low at around 10%. If we can solve for the obvious nuclear concerns - perhaps starting with not plonking a nuke plant smack bang on a fault line - then surely we'll be headed in a strong direction. Usage is obviously the other side of the equation - usually tracks strongly with GDP growth. How to buck that trend will be a challenge for us all. Cheers - Dave
Great message and the skill is..... Well...... It's on a different parallel to my childhood builds using scaffolding for chopper forks, ramp jumping friends and anyone else silly enough to liedown and poppin the odd wheelie. 🤟🤪
Love to see that you Danny Macaskill using your platform (RUclips,MTB Trails) to show everyone how important renewable energy is and we need to have more of these videos on RUclips as renewable energy is essential for our future and without renewable energy in the future Our Earth will be in trouble and so will we. Great riding Danny hope this reachs to people from around the world !!!!!
Video is good, and it weights in on a important subject. But sustainable sources from wind turbines might not be the best option. Just take a look at what is happening in Norway. Trying to save the planet and climate with destroying nature and wild places to get energy from sustainable sources.
Until China and India agree to make real change in the way they treat the environment, this is all just useless political posturing. The science isn't even settled as to what is causing the climate to change anyway, but the speed its changing isn't what is being touted. Its just alarmist foolishness. Should stick to riding bikes...
@@MsTbeasT I think sustainable sources for energy is a good thing, no matter what china and india does. But we have to it in a way that doesn't destroy what is not already destroyed
@@Richrr119 I agree that developing technology that fixes sustainable energy is a good direction, but you are always going to have to destroy something to create the system. Its a fine balancing act, and I don't think we have hit the right balance with anything we are using yet. Certainly not wind power. I'm not suggesting that we stop trying. I am suggesting that we stop amplifying the voices of climate alarmists who have been saying the worlds guna end because of human-cause climate change for 50 years. Their deadlines have come and gone many times over. And I am suggesting that no matter what we in the west develop and implement, if China and India don't get on board it won't even matter that we took the time to do it. Until a countries population reaches a certain level of wealth per capita, I forget what the figure is, their populations will not care about the environment because they have more pressing concerns, such as feeding, clothing and maintaining shelter. I feel the issue is far more complex than most people realise...
Also note that lithium isn't unsafe, it's one of the more prominent materials on earth (and in the universe), and I bet you'll find some in your medicine cabinet.
Beautiful tricks Danny you always leave me in awe, you truly are awesome when it comes to mountain biking I’ve been a fan of yours since your wee day out video please keep on producing such great clips you are deeply appreciated ❤️

Cl!m@te ch@nge seems to be a means to get to a goal. If they want they can limit our time in nature because "nature needs a break from people in order to recover" and so they can further separate us from our roots.
The natural world which keeps us sane.
Same senc0rsh!p as with CV btw 😏
I'm glad you had fall-arrest gear on Danny! We want to keep you around! Riding on the edge of the blade was amazing. SHOUT OUT TO SANTA CRUZ BIKES!!!
Good message, i wouldn't bloody be standing up there tho. Legend😃
He's got balls made of steel.
False Narrative. Bullshit Message. Pull your thumb out
International Monetary Fund pays huge sums of money to advertise global warming, when in fact climate change is completely natural
The most successful mountainbiker and stunter ever..... Period
Danny MacAskill: Riding skinny 2mm wide.
Rest of the world: Skinny needs to be atleast 3 tires wide.
I like how in the making of he makes sure the height is right.
I think Danny was a bird in a former life , there's no other word for it he's incredible , a down to earth nice guy , always great music ; make danny the prime minister , h'ell sort the country out
Thank you for being you danny 🤘🤟👋
Dude, after all these years watching your vids, you keep surprising me every time. You are amazing!
This is so great to see that people are getting involved all over the world to help prevent climate change
What?! It aready happened???
That just shows the sheer size of a windmill. That was so insane. He drove over the wing of the windmill
Have you never stood under a turbine?
@@stuarts4673 No
@@Sidowse whatever 🙄
That's a small one! I built these ones a few years back and the ones i am working on now are more than double the size of these
What a great video Danny (and the cycling wasn't too shabby either).
Absolute belter. Loved the whole thing and what a song too! Smashed it Danny and well done to everyone involved 🎥🤝
Great Project and Video! Thank you Danny for your support. I also invest heavily in renewable Electricity. We need to replace all Oil, Gas and Coal, that is a massive Challenge that we can only solve together.
Danny raising awareness of climate change, is the best thing i have seen this year
I think we all know about the climate change narrative. Hard to go a day without hearing people blab about it as if it's a real thing...

"Are these...? Tyre marks?" 😀
Danny never ceases to amaze! Hats off to you and cheers!
Man, I was relieved to see that safety wire.
Im pretty sure whoever edited this doesn't count individual tricks the same way that Danny does, but, whatever, the spirit is there!
Danny you are awesome, keep holding your line, your passion and your statement to the world; we have just one planet and it's the only one for all of us - stay safe and healthy!

I love Danny. Confused why they showed a nuclear power plant when talking about what is contributing to climate change tho.
That is a cooling tower, not necessarily a NPP's.
Same
pretty sure that was one of the cooling towers are Grangemouth. You can see the Queensferry Crossing bridge in the background.
Nuclear power plants have 10x smaller CO2 emissions than renewables, that is solar and wind turbines. The cooling tower emits water vapour only. Good point noting it. There is a lot of misconceptions about nuclear energy.
None of the nuclear power stations still operational in the UK have cooling towers. Most of the decommissioned ones didn’t have them either.
Damn i literally shit myself when he rode that blade, Dan the Man 👍
I cannneeee even pop a wheelie some of this guys tricks are just mind blowing 👍🏻 Solar flares 🌋
This guys got some giant balls, the gravitional pull of which could surely be used to solve the power crisis and save the planet.
"The problem": Shows a nuclear powerplant's cooling towers, which is one of the best solutions to climate change...
How much money does Google, RUclips and Redbull give? Propaganda of the G.A.F.A.M. who pollute how them? Propaganda pro-windmill that destroys landscapes and rural fabric
@@charlesderastouil329 Bad example for a world-spanning secret cabal. What do you think happens when you watch the video or load the page? You force the servers and network infrastructure to work harder. This is especially true for HD quality videos with a high framerate (60fps). Not to mention the need for storing multiple copies of videos and backups. You are part of the problem and the reason why they have emissions.
Coal power plant also have cooling towers, but well, these towers are much scarier than the chimneys
I can't even post a comment without someone removing it. CO2, most likely, has nothing to do with the minuscule warming we observed throughout the 20th century.
@@C_R_O_M________ AI filter can be overzealous. Speaking on CO2, I don't understand why people with zero credentials or at least legitimate interest in climate science are so obsessed with blaming pretty much anything but the human CO2 emissions. What is most likely here is that you don't know much about climate.
Amazing! We at Recon Aerial inspect these turbines using drones and are part of the renewable industry. Combining Dannys' incredible human power with the vast potential of renewable power is not only timely it's a perfect match! Nice going, Danny.
When we went out on the turbine blade I was getting annoyed until I saw he was tied off and that allowed me to enjoy it to the end. Sometimes the risks are just too much. Great video as always.
Astounding. I never much liked walking jibs on tower cranes but this is way beyond that.
Brilliant video, that ending was sooo stressful
Incredible Danny... never ceases to amaze me🔥🔥🙌🙌👍👍👍

2) Danny!!!
The Joy Formidable!
I thought it was!
Best band
What an incredible project and what a great way to use your unbelievable skill and daring. That last shot is probably one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen. Beautifully shot project altogether
talking about climate change then proceeds shows the number 1 cleanest energy, Nuclear Power.
He didn't though. He showed cooling towers. That could be any plant. The scene looked like it was filmed up the Forth. Probably Grangemouth.
@@BrokenBackMountains Its always shown as pollution, but its just steam as its a closed loop system (which comes back down as rain).
@@speedsquishstupid But it wasn't a nuclear plant. It was probably part of the Grangemouth refinery.
That's not a nuclear station, pretty sure it was the Eggborough coal power station and it was demolished earlier this year (just recently).
@@GregHassler I stand corrected.
Danny is on planet Reebok to anyone else. His skills talent and beliefs is insane 👌👌👌👌
❤️
Sry couldn't find any words that describe how good this "feels"
The nut tap potential at 1:50 is unreal
Good to see you using your platform to highlight the changes that are needed. Let’s hope BoJo and the other Bozos listen. Otherwise may their names be forever recorded in the history books as those that had the opportunity to do something but choose greed over our children’s and planet’s future.
Who is Bojo?
it is simply that the International Monetary Fund pays huge sums of money to advertise global warming, when in fact climate change is completely natural

@@arturow2686 they may not be entirely responsible for the past, but they do have the power to effect all our futures. They are policy makers after all.
So important! well done Danny!!
the tricks were awesome, the obstacles were pretty cool. the second to last drop was pretty sick but i knew youd chicken out on the last one
Amazing Danny! 👏👏👍👍
This is an awesome fundraiser and wake up call for multiple generations Danny, Thank you. I would like to ask that every subscriber donates 1-4 dollars. Do the math and imagine the impact we can make by donating 1-4 dollars. Shoutout to Greta Thunberg for leading the charge.
You know wind turbines destroy more nature than it saves right? A very contradictive way of thinking about saving the planet.
Greta turdburg 🤣🤣wtf are you smoking...
@@fuglstad_explores dunno where u got that but ok also how are they destroying nature? i wanna hear this lol
@@spm36 well i dunno just someone who is a climate change activist dont rip me out. Also in respons to your question i forgot
Oh My God! I wish I hadn't watched that. My tummy is doing summersaults making me dizzy, and it's going to carry on doing it all day after seeing Danny on the turbine blade a zillion feet from the ground.
Life insurance salesman: 'What did you say your name is sir?'
Danny: 'I'm Danny MacAskill.'

Береги себя, друг!👍
Just the thought of Stepping out of that Blade, makes me Shiver ‼️😲
love your videos alweas!!!
A boy who got on his bike and sees the world like you did when you were a kid, an amazing playground, wonder and curiosity. Ignoring what was said to be too dangerous and a kid following his dreams. 🚵🏻♂️❤️
This vedio is like hot chocolate with broccoli blended in it. People watch it for the games but get to learn about climate :)
You ought to have a ride in a nuclear powers station. Might be more fun than you think.
Like the soundtrack though
And for sure more ecological than the wind turbines...
Nuclear waste is a gift our children dont want or need.
@@bhew7409 The amount of waste is fairly small and they are safe ways to store it. Btw. the "argument" with the children is the most pathetic way for people without any argument to defend their cause. Always reminds me of the Simpsons :D
@@KapitanPisoar1 I was just refering to future generations but children reads better. And, it is already too much we don't need anymore. One day in sure some bright spark might work out it can be fired into the sun or something but until we can deal with the waste it's unethical to make it. Renewables are a far more intelligent way of creating electricity. What we need to work on is energy storage to complement it, over time wind, sun and hydro will only become more efficient and cost effective. Nuclear is 60s technology.
@@bhew7409 Nuclear is 60s technology? What kind of argument is that? In that case wind is 7th century technology, the hydro is a 3rd century BC tech and the solar is 1830s technology. And you call me ignorant, how funny is that...
What an epic teaching show !! 29% that's a nice start lookign forward for a video Ep2 with many more tricks in the future !!
Thats a good lad Danny! What a statement and as always a hell of a performance 👍🏻
I'm sure he wouldn't even be able to name the 3 branches of government. Look how they made him the rad version of Greta thunberg
wind energy is only one solution. but it is at least a theme for another youtube clip. props for the stunts.
Excellent concept, though there are some questions remaining. Globally, electricity as a proportion of total energy is only around 22% according to sources. This will increase as the world shifts towards electric powered transport. Also, in the US, renewables only make up ~20% of total energy and so, 29% globally could be an overstatement. Also, renewables are not the only climate-saving option. Nuclear is likely the biggest contender for safe electron generation. Cheers - Dave
29% globally is the correct number per the IEA, the US is behind.
@@GregHassler Greg - yes, I've just read the IEA report on renewables, 2021. Interestingly wind is charted to be the top growth area in renewable electricity sources. I'm surprised nuclear is so low at around 10%. If we can solve for the obvious nuclear concerns - perhaps starting with not plonking a nuke plant smack bang on a fault line - then surely we'll be headed in a strong direction. Usage is obviously the other side of the equation - usually tracks strongly with GDP growth. How to buck that trend will be a challenge for us all. Cheers - Dave
Wow! spectacular 👌👏 got my attention for sure 👍🏼
Great message and the skill is..... Well......
It's on a different parallel to my childhood builds using scaffolding for chopper forks, ramp jumping friends and anyone else silly enough to liedown and poppin the odd wheelie. 🤟🤪
Safety line or not takes serious big balls to do that wow
Love to see that you Danny Macaskill using your platform (RUclips,MTB Trails) to show everyone how important renewable energy is and we need to have more of these videos on RUclips as renewable energy is essential for our future and without renewable energy in the future Our Earth will be in trouble and so will we. Great riding Danny hope this reachs to people from around the world !!!!!
Renewable energy? see what the batteries are made of and how harmful their production is
What do they do with these inefficient gigantic eyesores when they are decommissioned? Bury them. Screw off with your renewable resource bull crap.
Man I love this guy, dunno how anyone can dislike this for real
Great video, as always)
I have to stop watching Danny's videos, or else some day I'll die of a heart attack.
What a legend 💯
Эта филигранная подготовка сводит с ума. Это новый уровень.
Wow! That was an awesome video to promote renewable energy!
Well done. Good job.
😎
Beautiful
Danny Mac is the Best! Amazing video for the future of out planet. Thank you!
Video is good, and it weights in on a important subject. But sustainable sources from wind turbines might not be the best option. Just take a look at what is happening in Norway. Trying to save the planet and climate with destroying nature and wild places to get energy from sustainable sources.
Until China and India agree to make real change in the way they treat the environment, this is all just useless political posturing. The science isn't even settled as to what is causing the climate to change anyway, but the speed its changing isn't what is being touted. Its just alarmist foolishness. Should stick to riding bikes...
@@MsTbeasT I think sustainable sources for energy is a good thing, no matter what china and india does. But we have to it in a way that doesn't destroy what is not already destroyed
@@Richrr119 I agree that developing technology that fixes sustainable energy is a good direction, but you are always going to have to destroy something to create the system. Its a fine balancing act, and I don't think we have hit the right balance with anything we are using yet. Certainly not wind power. I'm not suggesting that we stop trying. I am suggesting that we stop amplifying the voices of climate alarmists who have been saying the worlds guna end because of human-cause climate change for 50 years. Their deadlines have come and gone many times over. And I am suggesting that no matter what we in the west develop and implement, if China and India don't get on board it won't even matter that we took the time to do it. Until a countries population reaches a certain level of wealth per capita, I forget what the figure is, their populations will not care about the environment because they have more pressing concerns, such as feeding, clothing and maintaining shelter. I feel the issue is far more complex than most people realise...
@@MsTbeasT the science is WELL settled and has been since over 30 years… sad to see there’s still people around that don’t want to understand
@@ApfelmannYT Read "Apocolypse Never" and come back to me...
Brilliant Danny - great video.
When someone finds a way to dispose of lithium in electric cars batteries safely then talk to me 😂 great video nonetheless!
Also note that lithium isn't unsafe, it's one of the more prominent materials on earth (and in the universe), and I bet you'll find some in your medicine cabinet.
The best there is ….full stop 🛑👊🏻👏🏻🍻🇨🇦!!
Biggest challenge with renewable energy is storage capacity. Hopefully, we can find new solutions to this.
There are plenty of them being worked on, including repurposing used batteries, pushing water back into dams, and my favorite, kinetic energy storage.
Beautiful tricks Danny you always leave me in awe, you truly are awesome when it comes to mountain biking I’ve been a fan of yours since your wee day out video please keep on producing such great clips you are deeply appreciated ❤️
Good work danny !
Riding is super dialled! Message awesome, location wicked. Always top Ideas and videos.
