I don’t know a lot about mountain biking in Norway, but seeing Danny MacAskill’s new video shot there makes me want to visit with a bike in tow. MacAskill rides three different fjord-adjacent “zones” in the video — Escalator, Superbowl, and Mission Ridge. Naturally, his title sponsor for the video, Bosch, is front and center, but given the terrain, riding a bike with a motor looks like a pretty good idea to me.
Impossibly steep and seemingly never-ending solid granite ramps lead to some pretty epic views. Along the way, MacAskill pulls off an uncomfortably long backward nose manual and shows off some impressive technical riding along a ridge and down a narrow spine. It’s impossible to focus on both MacAskill and the otherworldly scene around him at the same time; I had to watch the video twice just to take it all in.
The video finishes with a crazy steep descent, presumably back to civilization for a battery recharge. This may not be what we think of as “trail” riding, but it definitely looks epic.
The news stinks. Why not follow Singletracks on Google News to bring more joy to your day?
