SCOTLAND’S rugby squad took a break from their World Cup preparations to see trials cyclist Danny MacAskill’s Drop and Roll Show on a night out at Underbelly’s Circus Hub in Edinburgh.
Prop Zander Fagerson got involved in the action after being nominated by his team-mates because he’s a big bike fan.
He lay totally still on a box, legs spread, while trials rider, and Drop and Roll founder Duncan Shaw dropped from the highest part of the set to land a wheel on either side of his legs, finishing off by hopping over Fagerson a couple more times to huge cheers from the sell-out crowd, before moving into the finale of the show.
Danny MacAskill’s Drop & Roll Live is a highlight of this year’s Underbelly Circus Hub programme.
After five years touring the world, Drop & Roll Live is making its Edinburgh Fringe debut with a brand-new show led by MacAskill. He is joined by fellow Scot Shaw, and innovative BMX riders Kriss Kyle and Alex Coleborn, who will each perform selected dates across the run.
Hosted by extreme sports commentator Henry Jackson, the hour-long show includes plenty of crowd participation plus prizes to be won throughout. For tickets, see www.underbellyedinburgh.co.uk
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
