Leica Shoot - Exhilarating madness ...

Danny MacAskill Plays Capetown, Part 3 from leica camera on Vimeo.

… is what some people would call what Streets Trial pro rider Danny MacAskill can do with his bike. Magic Mountain had the honor to make the madness possible in Cape Town. Once again we had the pleasure to organize a photo and film shoot for Leica this season with German photographer Maik Scharfscheer.

Creative agency Argonauten G2 came up with an outstanding and adrenaline driven idea to capture moments with the new Leica V-Lux 30 camera. 
Danny was flown in from Scotland to perform stunts on his mountain bike. Cycling up and down trees, riding along railings and jumping of roofs and even containers was on the agenda. 

No matter what he was tackling the cameras kept rolling and even during a pitstop at Charly’s Bakery Danny didn’t get off his bike.

The whole team eventually held their breath when Danny decided to jump from one side of Cape Town’s well known “Cut-off Highway” to the other side as the bridge is approximately 30 meters high.

After five days of exhilerating shoots Danny and his girlfriend finally got a chance to relax by participating in the Cape Argus.
