Danny MacAskill joins Olly and Davi in the studio to break down his latest film project, CAMPUS. In this episode, Danny shares what it was like to have free rein to ride at the Adidas headquarters in Herzogenaurach, Germany. He talks about his first visits to the campus, pitching the project with stick figure drawings, figuring out how to ride on top of an Adidas city bike (and how it almost broke his ankle), meeting Bjørn Gulden, the CEO of Adidas, and landing his biggest ever flat drop. He also reveals which tricks took the most attempts and offers insights into his creative process. Danny further provides tips on how to ride trials, explains why filming on an iPhone is crucial, expresses his infectious love for eBikes, shares his biggest inspirations, talks about his favorite Adidas FiveTen shoes, answers listener questions, and much more.
