Danny Macaskill has returned to his native Isle of Skye to film a terrifying ride across the Inner Hebridean creags.

The Scottish extreme cyclist showed off his homeland by jumping off and cycling down a number of creags on the Scottish isle in a 7.5 mile bike ride across the Cullin mountain range.
