Street-trials cyclist extraordinaire Danny MacAskill has skills that take him to places far away from his Scottish home. This time, they took him into the Playboy Mansion.
The result? A two-minute, Red Bull–sponsored video of MacAskill bunny hopping his bike about the grotto, tennis courts, and gardens.
MacAskill was stateside to promote his new video project, , filmed in the abandoned Argentinian town of the same name and recently shown at Red Bull’s North American headquarters. The media tour included a stop, naturally (or not so naturally), at the Playboy Mansion.
“Immediately I thought, ‘I really hope there’s good riding there,’ because it’s horrible when you go to a location to do something like that and you’re not able to do anything legit,” . “It turned out there were some decent bits to ride, but it was quite hard with all those girls distracting you. … It was a surreal experience, definitely something I can look back on in 20 years’ time and laugh about.”
When you’re the most famous 28-year-old stunt rider on the Internet, the job has its perks.
