EXT. ROOFTOP – DAY
The cops are closing in on Jason Statham, who is shirtless and wearing nothing but black trousers and well-polished shoes. He is standing at the edge of the roof, ready to jump, but the cops already have their guns drawn.
Freeze, Jason Statham!
Jason Statham turns around, smiling. He raises his hands in surrender. In his right hand he is holding the satchel of Kominsky jewels. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Scottish professional BMX rider Danny McAskill rides in and snatches the satchel out of Jason Statham’s hand and, doing a handstand on his handle bars, he karate kicks the cops in the face. Then he jumps his bike off the roof and pidgeon steps it down the fire escape. Incredible.
I have been double crossed!
Seriously, dude is really good at riding a bike.
Plus, he uses Band of Horses for his X-Treme soundtrack, so you can’t even hate him. (Via With Leather.)

At first I was like: Okay, bike tricks, hmmm.
But then after 3:00 or so, dude took it to an entirely different level.
Gee, I wonder how that guy’s gonna die. SORRY
I was about to post something sarcastic like “XTREEEM”, but then I watched the video, and holy shit I might have wet myself
!!!
I could watch this forever.
Fucking incredible.
Given the danger of those stunts it is a bit unfortunate (ironic?) that he chose “Funeral.”
The awesomeness of his bike tricks defies the laws of physics and de-snarks the Videogum peanut gallery.
There’s no way we could hate him anyways, Gabe. He’s Scottish. I challenge anyone to find a Scot that is worthy of hating.
How about the Number One Scottish Male Barbie?
Shrek.
Shrek doesn’t count because he’s not actually Scottish. Like how when someone puts blackface on it doesn’t make them black. And the barbie dude is only worthy of so much love, not hate. This country is fucking impenetrable.
that was really pretty. he rides bikes like tracy jordan drops truth bombs.
C’mon, if we’re referencing jason statham and BMX let’s call it “The Transporter 4″ and describe how jason can’t drive his audi in this one because of a DWI and has to learn some mad BMX skills from Danny McAskill in order to save the Prime Minister of Canada from Algerian terrorists disguised as Bloc Quebecois Separatists. In the end he learns that sometimes it’s ok for a government to fund a political party whose sole end is to secede from said government… also billy bob thornton’s band does the soundtrack and billy bob plays the canadian prime minister as an apology for his ridiculous actions.
I saw this video the other day and my mind was blown away. I seriously had no idea this stuff was even possible. I thought surely nothing could ever top it, but then i found this other amazing bike trick video. You truly have to watch it.
ha.. i love those bits like in the tunnel and on the bridge where people rush over to see whether he’s killed himself.. amazing..
i was going to make fun of it, but it got really awesome. plus now i have to go buy a bike…
