Mountain biker breaks leg when trying to pull-off Danny MacAskill stunt

A mountain biker is believed to have injured herself while trying to perform similar stunts to cyclist Danny MacAskill in Skye’s mountains.

The woman broke her leg in a fall at Coire Lagan, which stands at a height of around 2000 feet.

She was found near a loch wearing stunt gear, including a helmet and knee pads.

The loch is surrounded by Sgurr Alisdair, Sgurr Mhich Chonnich and the Inaccessible Pinnacle, also known as the In Pinn.

Danny MacAskill’s short film, The Ridge, featured stunts at the top of the In Pinn.

It has been viewed over 50 million times on Youtube.

A spokesman for Skye Rescue Team said that a number of cyclists had been found in dangerous areas on the mountain range recently.

He said: “Once they do get to these places they soon realise that in reality it is a very different prospect from what they thought it would be like.”

“Our message is please don’t try and be like Danny MacAskill.”
