Extreme sports videos have come a long way since fish-eye lenses and “Blitzkrieg Bop.” Trials cyclist Danny MacAskill has raised the bar, producing high-concept pieces along with Red Bull that are as much about storytelling as tricks.

Danny MacAskill is the king of street trials cycling and his new video is mind-boggling.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
MacAskill’s latest work Epecuén is pushing the medium into the stratosphere when he explores the Argentinian ghost town of Villa Epecuén, which was leveled by natural disaster in 1985. The 10 minute video is haunting, beautiful and impressive but here are three amazing moments if you don’t have the time.
