The famous German camera and lens manufacturer, Leica, currently have a series of trials videos on their website! It’s really one long video in several episodes, with perhaps the best known rider on the planet, Inspired/Red Bull rider Danny MacAskill, ripping up the streets of Cape Town; a fantastic playground already visited by World Champion Kenny Belaey (Kenny Belaey in Cape Town). At the end of the first episode, which was put online last week on the Leica blog, viewers could vote on whether Danny, last seen hopping across some bike rails, should go down a stair set or up a wall. The wall won it and he leapt from the rail to the wall before throwing out a tailwhip 360 drop from the end. At the end of the latest episode, you have to decide whether Danny will launch a 360 across a gap between to containers, or drop to the floor from the top of the one he is on. Each vote enters you into a draw to win Leica’s new compact camera, the V-Lux 2!
Vote here.
The videos are put together by German outfit Argonauten G2 (Directed, filmed and edited by Maik Scharfscheer & Thomas X. Stoll, with a soundtrack by Gino Riccitelli). We can’t wait for the next episode!
