SCOTTISH cyclist Danny MacAskill took on the streets of Elgin at the weekend – performing a daring rooftop jump off the Northern Scot store building.
The professional street trials cyclist and mountain biker, from Dunvegan in Skye, was in Moray with his cyclist pals, Duncan Shaw and Rory Semple.
The trio met up with friend Ben Travis to take a two-wheeled view of Elgin, scoping out the town for the best riding spots.
Onlookers were wowed by the riders' skills and control as the street ride was captured on video.
It was a case of the more obstacles the better for the cycling daredevils.
As well as jumping rooftop gaps in Elgin town centre, the group spent some time exploring jumps off the A96, behind Dr Gray's Hospital, before making the most of concrete foundations at an old Moray Council site at Hamilton Drive, in Bishopmill.
They rode railings at Cooper Park and tackled gaps and walls at Moray College.
Danny's cycling adventures in the last decade have topped more than 500 million views on YouTube. More than 39 million people have viewed his death-defying ride along Skye's Cuillin Ridge filmed in 2014.
