Danny Macaskill’s Industrial Revolutions

Danny Macaskill has a nickname, “Danny Megaskill”. And he sure lives up to it. In November 2010, the Scottish trails cyclist released a video of his bike journey across beautiful locations around Scotland, titled “Way Back Home”, and it has garnered over 13 million views to date. Sponsored again by Red Bull, he embarks on this journey to explore the remnants of the industrial revolution. The video has garnered over 2.7 million upload views in just over a month or more.

The video epitomizes our inherent nature to want to share something special from an extraordinarily talented individual or group, that is at the same time pleasantly surprising to watch, and is something that we would possibly take 5 minutes out of our busy schedules to watch and share with our friends. These are but a few of the traits that could possibly help a video go viral, and helps to wrap up what our videos have been trying to put across this week.
