Danny MacAskill Shreds Rural Scotland in New 'Wee Day Out' Video

In Danny MacAskill’s latest video, 'Wee Day Out,' the Scottish trials rider trades Playboy bunnies and rooftop cityscape views for old-timey charm that makes rural life look anything but sleepy. 

Plan your best __bike adventures yet with the 2017 Bicycling Calendar!

MacAskill starts his journey to the Scottish countryside on a train, from which he jumps out on the tracks and then hops a fence to ride through wheatfields; at one point, while he's balancing on top of a hay bale rolling downhill, a farmer greets him by name. 

He hops up and over cottages, startles ducks, and even rides his way out of a ludicrous puddle—ending his journey by coming home to his dad. 

The RedBull video highlights MacAskill's mad bike-handling skills like usual, but the juxtaposition of his crazy stunts against a bucolic backdrop give them new life and excites us all over again about the crazy places bikes can take you.
