I had no idea mountain biking could be this intense and this beautiful at the same time.
One day, Scottish mountain biker Danny MacAskill decided to attempt a mountain bike journey up the Cuillin Ridgeline in Isle of Skye, Scotland.

Danny grew up near the Cuillin Ridge and always wondered if it would be possible to bike the treacherous topography.

Along the way, the scenery is absolutely beautiful...

...And the possibility of falling is absolutely terrifying.

Clearly, it wouldn't be possible to traverse the entire ridge on bike.
But to Danny, the thrill is worth the risk.

Just look at that view.
This actually gave me goosebumps.

Could you do this?

I can barely watch the video. Beautiful, but scary as hell.
I'll just get back to where I belong...
