I was very impressed. This guy was doing stuff on his bike that I didn't even know was possible. I thought that is said a lot about society. Danny Macaskill was using his bike to perform what he thinks is art. He used his bike as a tool to perform tricks on all kinds of landscapes. He uses stairs, sculptures, and even everyday sidewalks. Normal people would see these things and think nothing of it. Danny, on the other hand, used them as his canvas. I always found it impressive when people found uses for objects other than their intended purpose. What Danny is doing is two-fold. He is using his bike as a means of an extreme sport instead of a means of transportation, then he is using stairs as his stage.
Most people would frown upon his actions, arguing that he is being destructive and shows no respect for his environment. I used to skateboard, so I would argue the other way. Riding a bike is just another sport, all that has changed is where he is doing it. Not to mention that to do what Danny is doing takes an incredible sense of balance and strength.
