Who are the stars of mountain biking? Aaron Gwin and Nino Schurter? Brandon Semenuk and Nicholi Rogatkin? Or Sam Hill and Steve Peat? At least when it comes to Clicks on YouTube all these greats fall far behind two others who are now much better known to the general public. The internet stars Fabio Wibmer and Danny MacAskill.
These two are constantly pushing the boundaries of what is considered possible on a mountain bike. Riding metres long on the narrowest railings, front flips over garden fences, jumping out of a helicopter on a bike, backflips on an old ladies' bike: no problem for these two. They seem to have lost their fear a long time ago and their skill on the bike seems to know no bounds.
Danny MacAskill and Fabio Wibmer: Live and free of charge at the Caravan Salon Düsseldorf
Now the two have teamed up and will be firing off some serious trial fireworks next weekend in Düsseldorf. As part of Danny MacAskill's Drop and Roll Tour the two stand on the Caravan Salon" camper fair and will thrill the audience in a total of four shows on 25 and 26 August. Also on board: bike pros Duncan Shaw and Alistair Clarkson.
"I can hardly wait to set off with the boys in the camper van. There will certainly be one or two anecdotes on the road trip to Düsseldorf. We were already at the Caravan Salon last year and I'm already looking forward to seeing the many families who will be at the trade fair again. Meeting the fans in person is really a highlight of the tour. It's going to be a very cool event," says Danny. The show will take place on Saturday and Sunday at 13:30 and 16:30 between Halls 10 and 17 of the exhibition centre, admission is free. You can meet the stars at the Eberspaecher stand in Hall 13 (Stand A11) at 3.00 pm each day and get their autographs.
