I did ask him & he said lots & lots of practicing and falling off. He showed me his shins, all the pedal marks - looked like he'd been attacked by a machete.
I used to be into jumping BMX stylee, but after a bad off on the doubles that resulted in a broken collar bone and shoulder I now keep my wheels on the ground as gravity intended.
This is Danny with my lad, Joe. Sept 2009 at a Clan show. There were 4 or 5 of them, really good.
They were great with all the kids & they all wore helmets.
Great video, but forward to 9:30, then watch his sweet flow (not!) around 10:30 ha ha ha....
Irrespective, this guy is an absolute JOY to watch, humble, down to earth and one of the most talented riders out there, worryingly, his next video will be even more mind blowing !!
