Handy Macaskill, Santa Cruz's Finger-Licking Homage To DannyHandy Macaskill, Santa Cruz’s finger-licking homage to Danny

 

Whilst I tut annoyingly at the kids doing 100m long wheelies down my road the reality is that I’m just jealous.

Like you, I ride the occasional trail and I love to watch the bike skills of many of the more serious off-roaders. Many a time I’ve marvelled at the supremely impressive work by Danny Macaskill .

However, a new, smaller pretender to the crown has hit the airwaves. Yes, Handy Macaskill matches Danny’s tricks in miniature.

Watch and enjoy…it’s short and good!

My favourite kit and nutrition

  • Maurten — the race nutrition trusted by elite athletes. Gels and drink mix engineered to be easy on the stomach.
  • Garmin 90-degree charging adapter — the small adapter that keeps your charging cable tidy at the stem. Essential for race day.
  • Garmin charging puck — the fastest and most reliable way to top up your Garmin before a session.
  • Ravemen FR300 — front light that mounts directly under your Garmin or Wahoo head unit. Keeps your bars clean and your beam pointed where it matters.
  • Garmin Varia RTL515 — radar rear light that alerts you to vehicles approaching from behind. Pairs with your Edge or Garmin watch.
  • Stryd — the footpod that brings running power to your Garmin. The single most useful running upgrade I have made.
  • Favero Assioma Pro RS2 — the power meter pedals most serious cyclists end up choosing. Accurate, easy to move between bikes.
