What was/were your favourite part(s) of the video, and why ?
Adjectives to describe the video and Danny’s skills…
What do you think had to take place before Danny was able to make a video like

Hint: Equipment / physical & mental
Read this quote from one of Danny’s other films on YouTube:
‘When I’m looking around the streets you can visualise how you might ride different
features…you’re always looking around thinking ‘how can I jump on this rail, and then maybe
jump to this wall’…
This is similar to the sport of parkour or free running
Prep
Identify three places on the King’s Ely site where Danny could do one of his tricks.
Draw a simple sketch map with arrows and other symbols and a few sentences to explain the
trick that he could do.
