SCOTTISH biking legend Danny MacAskill has shown why he’s the best in the business after becoming the only person to complete what’s been dubbed the ‘world’s craziest bike obstacle course’.
MacAskill , 40, regularly shares his heroics on Instagram – but this one might be the trickiest yet.

The Scot took on the treacherous floating track over a lake at Eastnor Castle, going head-to-head with fellow superstar Kriss Kyle.
Stretching more than 200 metres across open water, the unforgiving circuit was built with three sections, each getting progressively harder.
Danny, Kriss and 20 amateurs had to navigate a series of terrifying obstacles including a zig zag section and balancing along a tiny beam.
The final section involved ride onto a pole barely wider than the tyres of the bike he was riding to reach the finish line.
One single mistake risked sending plunging into the bitterly cold water below, testing even the most seasoned professionals to their very limits.
The brutal course quickly proved too much for the 20 amateurs, leaving Danny and Kriss to battle it out.
Kriss used his trademark high-action style, and pushed deeper and deeper into the course, before admitting defeat on the penultimate obstacle.
Danny, meanwhile, adopted a more methodical approach.

He used his decades of biking experience to carefully plan his every move, finding ingenious ways to pull himself out of trouble and stay dry.
After dozens of heart-stopping attempts, Danny’s meticulous methods finally paid off as he became the only rider to reach the finish line.
