Danny MacAskill proves it's not all plain sailing in the stunt world with hilarious falls clip

Scots stunt genius Danny McAskill has proved he's not always flawless when it comes to his exploits in a hilarious clip.

The outtakes from one of his adventurous videos show the cycling star trying to make a jump that is pretty tame compared to some of his more notorious stunts.

However, he is seen making several attempts and humorously failing to nail it.

The weather definitely isn't helping with it being what can only be described as "dreich" and the trail bike specialist seen complaining about the wind.

Danny can be seen laughing in the mud, as he comes off the bike again and again before finally making the backflip he's been trying all along.

Luckily, at one point, he just manages to avoid hitting a stone too hard when he lands badly after one of the attempts.

He then laughs it off with fellow Scots extreme sports star Kriss Kyle and filmmaker Matty Lambert.

Posting the fun clip on his official Facebook page, Danny writes: "I hope you too, achieve your dreams this weekend

"Unbelievably fun time hanging out with Kriss Kyle and Matty Lambert."

One fan joked: "Is this the blood of Vikings running through your veins that makes you do all those crazy things?"
