Seeing as I can't ride yet due to my old man antics now is the perfect time to reflect and react to Danny Macaskill's Inspired April 09 video as this week has been it's 15 year anniversary! Let's see if it still holds up after all this time!
Unfortunately I couldn't find Dave Sowerby's edit I mentioned, if you can find a link please share it in the comments :)
The older Danny edit is here, it's not the original upload sadly and the quality is poor but it's the best I could find :
• Danny Macaskill tartyb...
These are cool too:
• Danny Macaskill (Tarty...
• Danny MacAskill - Leed...
Thanks so much for watching!

This video is a strong reason as to why I'm into bikes
Same ❤ from 🇩🇰
The music too
@@Dawgside yeah bro, the music cattched me also to this bikinkg!
So am I.
I just can't bring myself to watch it, that video holds too many good memories of a golden era of my life and riding in general, it was the very video that started it all for me! knowing i'll never have the health / youth to go back to it is something i cannot seem to get my head around 🤕
on a more positive note, that video helped me find Ali, who actually ended up being my main inspiration throughout so many years of riding, back in the "Clean" era when you and Mark used to film together! i still remember being a bit starstruck when i spoke to you on the phone at tarty a couple times, did my best to keep it to myself mind!
it's so cool to be able to follow you and the cute thief on here!
I can relate, I struggle to watch most of Akkers videos because I’m quite homesick and missing all my favorite rocks which audio happen to be ones he rides in his videos :(
I’m glad you found inspiration in me though and we got to talk on the phone at tartybikes…I hope I didn’t get any of your orders wrong 😂
I know man. Time keeps ticking away and when never seem to realize we are in the midst of the best times until they have passed. It feels like there is always tomorrow, until there isn't. Right there with you my man. It is so hard, psychologically to have those doors closed and be powerless to do anything about it. Life is beautiful and brutal and amazing and so capricious. We have to savor what we have as much as possible and make sure we are living in the present. Say Yes to life, in Spite of Everything as Frankl would say.
I have watched this video loads of times. It's one of my favourite bike videos
The video that started all for me. I just wish I would have discovered street trials riding back when I was younger. I am now 50 and I’m really enjoying the little tricks I can learn. I’m also blown away for the many quality riders out there right now. Love your content! 👊
Fully agree the wall ride to rail clip is on another level. Most people would see a dead end to some rail gaps but the creative riding that Danny does is what makes him stand out
Classic from Danny and Big up Dave Sowerby on the filming.
Lol. I just watched this last night with the kids. Nice trip down memory lane. Its 15 years old, and still remember me and my friend gawk at this video. Funny that you just recently uploaded this reaction vid
Iconic video! Watched countless times back in the day
Ryan Leech started it for me and seeing Danny led me across the water and is likely how I discovered other great riders including you! Seeing you do a reaction video was a lot of fun! I would love to see the occasional one once in a while.
To me this video is pure joy and fun to watch over and over and over again. The riding skills from Danny are way beyond what I am capable off 🙃 I just love riding my Hex and you had been motivating me doing! 🙂
I would be super interested about how this video did change Inspired Bicycles or if it did at all. Would be amazing if you may interview the folks from Inspired Bicycles about how they started, how things developed over time and how they anicipate how (street)Trials may change... There is probably loads of other cool and tech topics to cover.
Ali thanks for making this video, I'm watching you, I also like to turn the nuts of the bike. I bought my first Magellan Tucana street trial 20 years ago. And at the same time, besides the trial, I got carried away with dirt. Even then I had serious injuries, Danny video made a huge impression on me, and helped me not to give up my career, but on the contrary, I wanted to progress, do something like that. But I have no talent, I perform at 1% out of 100% of Danny. This is my most favorite video. I wish Danny good health. He inspired a lot of people. Ordinary people don't realize how difficult it is, and it's damn difficult.Danny is a brave man and technical, which helped him stay whole, unlike Bender.
Final comments are key Danny and yourself are sound approachable guys who easy to chat too! and more importantly take the time to listen to younger riders! Good luck
I first learned of trials watching Ryan Leech videos on B.C. Canada's North Shore. Excellent video Ali, proper commenting! Heal up well and enjoy rehab!!
Love your videos Ali. I’m not a trials rider. I’m a pursuer of two wheel control. I ride MTB and race motorcycles. Trials is the path to razor sharp control. Thanks a million.
Danny's Inspired 09 video came out when I was just starting to take up trials riding. I took a great deal of influence and inspiration from it and I still love watching it all these years later. Really enjoyed your reaction to it. Thanks Ali!
P.S. - I completely agree, stoppies are much easier than fakie nose manuals!
Perfect timing for you then! 😊
Seeing Hawyes and Ashton in MBUK back in the day (showing my age!) was my first exposure to trials but Danny 100% brought it back into the spotlight in a major way!
Yeah same, Ashton, Hawyes and Akkers were my main inspirations but you can’t help but be inspired by Danny too!
Very interesting to have your perspective of it!
Glad you enjoyed it
I started riding trials again after watching this video. Then if i remember well ~8 years ago you started your channel and your videos are inspiration since then.
Doesn’t feel like 15 years ago. Thank you for being the inspiration you both have been all this time and time to come!
My favorite video. As Slim Shady says: “Why being king, when you can be the God?”. What I mean by that, is that Danny and the team behind this video have actually changed my life. This video is one of not so many reasons why I haven’t committed suicide, at the time it came out. Danny and everyone who made this video to come out and reach me as the viewer, have shown me the good example of being strong, being capable of unrealistic but possible to make things, and they have shown the strength of the will in this video so well. Danny looked like the real God to me, laughing at the existence of the word “impossible”, doing impossible things with the smile on his face. I’m still shocked seeing some of the elements he does in this video, and since the video came out, I, unfortunately, didn’t have an opportunity to ride a bike, to practice, and basically I didn’t have ANY bike at all for almost 12 years. Was forced to immigrate with no money. Never mind. So I’m still impressed badly. And my wish to ride that cool, like him, the wish that has formed after I’ve seen this chef d'oeuvre for the first time, is still just a wish. Have to admit I’m very far from my 40ies, so I still have an opportunity to buy myself a street trials bike and ride into my dream and be happy.
21:30 I wouldnt be surprised at all if were millions...
it was for me! this video got me into biking as a whole. I didnt do trials but I bought my first mountainbike because of this very video and cycling has been a hell of ride since then. Dont want to think about where I would be without bikes.
greetings from germany
We need more reactions! Great Video 👌🏻
I still get all tingly and goosebumps at that song, it envokes many emotions 🥺
Keep up the great work, Ali!! Get well soon, but take your time to heal properly!
Thanks very much!
2:08 band of heroes - the funeral
Horses are heroes
I got one of Danny's spare inspired frames from around that era. Had it nearly 10 years and probably did less than 10% of the stuff Danny could have done with it. Even though I don't ride anymore, I don't think I could ever part with it, just too cool.
Liked the video! I would love to see your take on Charlie rolls. Either the latest London edit or the one in Portsmouth from a couple of years ago (It's a modern classic in my eyes). A very different style and likely doesn't follow the unwritten rules!? but were both filmed in a day. Charlie is very much a rider's rider and possibly unknown outside the trials community, it would be great to show a different side to our sport.
Cheers!
I used to watch Hans Rey back in the later 80s and 90s. It was super cool to watch and I did trials for a while back then. I had a Haro Response which was a fun bike at the time. My friend had the GT Ricochet and we would go practice on stairs, walls, rocks and such. I also rode BMX back then so it was a perfect combination. Then I thought trials had died off after that. Then this video came out and I was mind blown. It was Trials and Street BMX combined! So cool!!!!
Danny is pretty good on that bike but you guy's should meet Donny McKooskal from Edinburgh! He does all of that stuff you do.
That Donny guy is something else!
@@Ali_Clarkson At some point you need to track down random drunk 'Mckooskal" guy. He is basically a celebrity in the Ali C. community.
I learned to ride in '79, started doing BMX freestyle in '87 and got into mtb in '89. By the mid 90s, I had stopped riding altogether. In '98 I got a cheap mtb in Iwakuni, Japan, and had a brief resurgence of mtb, which kindled my mid-school BMX revival. That lasted until the planes hit the towers in '01 and I got really busy for a few years and only rode periodically.
I came across this video in April of 2011, and it got me back into mountain biking, (On a BMX bike at the time.) This led to me getting a real mountain bike in 2014, a road bike in 2015, full sus in 2016, and so on...
Still come back to this video every now and then. It is still inspiring.
Excelent insight to Danny's riding. Would love to see more of those.
Thank you so much for this video Ali! As such a legend yourself, all the thoughts you have on street trials are absolutely fascinating to me and hundreds of others! I’ve spent hours poring over this video as well as your edits and would love to see more in depth stories from making famous videos!
thx Ali, have not seen this video, clips, but not entirety. Your narration is so unique. Kinda
cool to hea the street trial history. That wall, bike racks, and the gap whip !
Great breakdown! Remember when this dropped and seeing it explode and enter normal peoples minds. I like how you pointed out the parts of the video that stands it time but also what doesn't. The most impressive thing to me is how Danny continued to evolve and push street riding considering with his countless bangers following this video.
that is a classic Danny Macaskill video
THE classic video
Im from rob warner and steve peat also ashton and hawes era but gotta love danny and his style of riding 💜💜
Do one on the Toxicity video from the Trialskings next 😀. Getting a good copy of it will be a challenge, and even the good version will be postage stamp sized at HD resolution. I downloaded it in work because there was no internet connection at home.
I flippin loved that video when it came out, that was my equivalent of Danny’s video, those guys were ahead of their time. Yikes right about how hard it would be to find a decent enough res version though :(
Great watching your insights, for me two clips that come to my mind I'd really love to know you're thought about are:
Chris Akrigg-trial Noir
Rowan Johns- Dreams of Glass
long time ago but i have to watch his video right now with loud music! it pushed me hard that days!
It's fun when you know these people before they have their breakthrough and see how it evolves. I remember the old short trial clips on the trials forums. And I found Fabio Wibmer when he was just a kid playing around with his bike in his backyard. Same with Joacim a fellow Swede.
Masterpiece. Even if you were a TGS trials rider this video still impressed you. That says it all.
Haha my recollection from the TGS guys was that they were pretty bitter about it! “Not trials” “oversized Bmx” etc. I think most of them have come around now though
@Ali_Clarkson I was a tgs guy and loved it. Most of the Wakefield group and Leeds guys were the same, too. Only judders was that type of rider. Maybe judders made us appreciate it because watching him was a treat every ride.
Oh, where is the cat??? 😸 That old video of Danny is sick!!! Insane tricks!!! The first video of him we seen is the Industial Revolutions... 😎 So after seeing it, some of my buddies painted their hardtails color orange...😅
I remember when this came out and went viral, i messaged a friend saying along the lines of "umm I think that Daniel guy from Aviemore has just gone viral". We met him out riding, must have been like 2004 in Aviemore and was impressive back then.
Im fully team Ali now though 😂
If only when the barrier moved, it had put itself back into the holder. That would have been awesome.
Didn’t know you’d meet him before? That’s cool though, he could shred the hell out of that place!
@@Ali_Clarkson yeah, but he never remembered me. Pretty sure he never remembered me each time I met him at the flat 🤣🤣 unless I introduce myself as "climbing friend"
One of videos most like of you riding is “ALI C MERKS LONDON” is chill whit friends having a good time
And stealing back a bike that got stolen from me, that’s why I was in London in the first place
Any tips on confidence on the back wheel for hopping? I’m still learning but am terrified no matter what I’m doing I can purposefully loop out and feel fine but when I try to commit I bail out.
Try this video, it’s got more details than I could ever write here.

Those digital cameras were sooo bad... but still, this is a great video ! Thank god we've got 4k and high bitrate these days 🙂
Danny inspiration 👏
That video made me buy a MAD Phase 1.3!
Wow insane amazing probably the only words to describe Danny’s riding Shows my age but I remember when this video first come out me and my friends used to watch it every weekend just because we couldn’t believe what he was doing and one of many many videos of Danny’s that made everyone’s jaw around the world just dropped when they seen it highlights for me were at 9:36 11:47 Extra RIP ankles at 16:00 and 18:37
Not bad. I was thinking about doing those tricks but I just couldn't be bothered.
It was your early videos that first got me interested in trials. Stumbled onto your red fixie video, and then Chris Akrigg's fixed gear videos (when I used to think brakes and freehubs were for pussies lol). Only knew of Danny as some random dude you rode with sometimes, until Wee Day Out. I had seen Brumotti years before but didn't really make the connection with trials. This is the first time I've seen the Inspired April 09 video.
Thanks for the commentaries Ali!
Any chance you could do a similar reaction to videos from Damon Watson or Neil Tunnicliffe?
Thank you :)
Yes if this video is popular then doing more is definitely doable…I’ll be open to requests 👍🏻
Don't remember which one of them it was but one of them always did these huge crazy jumps to front wheel with a simple wire rim brake. Not just going up but down as well.
i was about to learn landing backwards, but since I snapped a lot of brake adapters and calipers..... I become skeptical all the way.....
Yeah most frames/adaptors/brakes are only really designed for forwards forces, trials has forces in both directions and is brutal on parts. When I took a trip to the magura factory they found it hard to believe us when we said we put backwards forces through brakes
Hey Ali, would you consider breaking down any of Flipp's videos? I'm curious of your input on some of the brakeless moves.
It would just be a video of me with my mouth open interjected with the occasional complaint that he spins goofy 😂
But yeah, good suggestion actually 👍🏻
Bonjour, je ne sais pas si c’est possible, mais pouvez-vous rouler au même endroit que cette vidéo (qui a changé ma vie) ?
The first time I saw this video I was in year 6 at school and my teacher put the video on for end of term, probs why I ride bike today
I'd have to agree with the wallride to rails being the most impressive thing from a trials riders perspective. It's probably overlooked by non trials riders in favour of the bigger moves.
Sadly that bike shop is closed now, shame as it was my favourite one in Edinburgh.
Ah that’s a shame :(
Ali, would you review some of the Fabio's vids? Would be curious to know what you think about them
As Iconic as 'Daewon Song Vs Rodney Mullen' that video.
And got me on my journey of Trials Bikes.
Ali your jibby stuff is a different style and some of the transfers Ive seen you do are Better than Dannys. You have different strengths.
Thanks very much!!
Yes, i am interest for your videos 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤟✊️
Dan seperti itulah Danny Macaskill, sama hal nya dengan Ryan Leech yang menciptakan Leech Loop, dan seorang Danny Macaskill sampai di buatkan wahana oleh RedBull yang bernama "IMAGINET" dan RedBull tidak pernah salah dalam memilih rider nya, semoga kelak @aliclarkson mendapatkan nya juga karena kalian ada di team "Rock n Rolls"
🤟🤘✊️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You need to get hold of and build the silver frame as you would’ve wanted to have it. Does Danny still have it?
He does still have it but unfortunately it’s pretty badly cracked :(
Could there be a custom frame repair video? That would be awesome. 😮
Doing what Fabio Wibmer now does, before Fabio was even in primary school...
Wonder what Danny had for his dinner after filming that? 🤔
Steak!
Does Wayne still hold the record for the highest drop off?
I think there is a world record but I can’t remember who has it…annoyingly it’s onto a crash pad 😐
Just out of interest is it bigger than Legendary free rider josh bender jaw drop that Braga vestavik successfully landed 6 months ago even though it was too flat
Man you've got to wear ankle braces everywhere or possibly bubble wrap, I really liked this different content though
Bubble wrap sounds good!
Somebody make a Ali Clarkson Wikipedia page please. Just a curious lad.
I’m disappointed there isn’t one already 😓
@@Ali_Clarkson I'll start it off - 'Born at a very young age, rides bikes at minor deity level at the very least, has known underworld associations via a feline run bike component fencing operation'.
Also Ali is a fan of tea! He is not a fan of coffee! Rumour has it, he once had 15 boxes of different green teas!
@@TheNonsenseAdventures I wonder how I got so many boxes?
@@Ali_Clarkson I heard it was someone spending their companies food allowance 🤣🤣
I think it's always interesting with such videos, also in e.g. skateboarding, snowboarding, skiing etc. that it's pretty easy to get the release year right just by knowing the song. There are some songs that make it in every second bigger video production.
Sail was mandatory in every bike video for a while...
