Love the feeling of control when doing this move…
What does Danny MacAskill's channel run on when he posts nothing for a week? Mostly on a few seconds of him getting over a gate.
"Love the feeling of control when doing this move…" is more than seven months old, and it is still the channel's busiest video by a wide margin. The description keeps it simple: one way past a gate on his Santa Cruz Vala. It has passed 31 million views, a big number even for the Scottish rider whose street trials film "Inspired Bicycles" made him famous back in 2009.
The bigger production sits behind it. "Danny Macaskill Endless Light in Norway - Bosch eBike Systems" follows him and a crew of friends to Narvik, in the Arctic north, to ride the huge granite slabs he says he had always dreamed of. It was filmed in summer under the midnight sun, on the same Vala e-bike, and set to a Max Cooper remix. It is three weeks old and closing in on three million views. Further back, an agility test on the new Santa Cruz Nomad is still drawing a steady trickle.
Without a fresh upload, the channel ran at roughly half its usual daily pace and added about a thousand subscribers. Among the off-road and motorsport channels near his size, dickfartjr is having the big week, while Buttery Films and Axell Hodges are in a similar lull. MacAskill sits in the middle of that group, carried by gates and granite.
