Danny MacAskill is happiest when his friends are having fun too. So he invites Steve Peat to his home on the Isle of Skye, where the two of them venture onto the most famous ridge route on the island. The Trotternish Ridge is an epic route that links several peaks. It starts at the Quiraing and ends at the Old Man of Storr, two geographical landmarks that close off the plateau.

But as is so often the case on rides with buddies, there's a lot of "speechifying". Danny uses this funny-sounding word to describe the kind of time-consuming detours and incidents that delay or extend the duration of a ride. Forgotten equipment, mechanical problems, changes of clothes, the need for another coffee or a sip of summit schnapps, confused directions and lost people. It's this kind of chaos on a harmless level that makes a ride with friends all the ^ more fun.
