Even before the coronavirus travel restrictions, Danny MacAskill enjoyed exploring his Scottish homeland by bike. His daring ride on the narrowest ridges in the video The Ridge (2014) has been clicked almost 75 million times so far. For his latest film, he sought out another special challenge.
In the remote Dubh Slabs rock formations on the shores of Loch Coruisk in the middle of the Black Cuilin mountains, Danny found the perfect ingredients: breathtakingly steep slopes, jagged rocks and the spectacular backdrop of his home on the Isle of Skye.
In the film The Slabs, we see Danny's downhill from the Dibh Slabs in full length and in one piece - over rocks so steep that they take your breath away. In the solitude of the Scottish wilderness and given the extremely rough terrain, Danny and his team produced the film exclusively with GoPro footage from the rider's perspective and the impressive images from a super-fast racing drone.
