Danny MacAskill celebrates 10th anniversary of viral video with Fringe debut

Scottish street cyclist Danny MacAskill is to celebrate 10 years since his viral video performing tricks through Edinburgh went viral - with a debut at the Fringe.

The Youtube sensation, from the Isle of Skye, wowed the world when he uploaded a video to the platform in 2009 - showing him cycling through the capital and taking part in stunts at iconic locations.

That led to a riding career which has seen him travel the world and perform in front of live audiences.

Now, he will put on a new live indoor show with "gravity-defying tricks" at the Underbelly's Circus Hun on the Meadows in from the 3rd to the 24th of August, during the festival.

Danny MacAskill said: “After living on the Isle of Skye for my entire childhood, Edinburgh was the first city I ever lived in. Since arriving in the capital in 2006 the city has always been a home from home. It really opened up a whole new world in terms of riding and made me the rider I am today.

“I will always be grateful for the stunning back drop Edinburgh provided for the April 2009 video that launched my career. 10 years on it seems a fitting time to return to Edinburgh with the Drop and Roll Tour display team for a run of shows with Underbelly at such an Iconic festival. Our new show for the Fringe is going to be something very special!"
