Danny MacAskill Teaches NFL Running Back Austin Ekeler How to Ride a Wheelie

Danny MacAskill is a legend on the mountain bike. Austin Ekeler is a helluva an athlete. Danny drops knowledge on how to ride wheelies. And it works.

So, if we’re being honest, it seems like L.A. Chargers running back Austin Ekeler looks way more natural riding wheelies on a mountain bike than Danny MacAskill does running a football. But that might be because football is an American thing and, well, mountain biking is a universal thing. Most of us have ridden bikes enough to at least attempt a wheelie. And yeah, this might be a little bit of a gimmick, but Danny, being a trials rider and all, still drops some cool hints on how to stay on one wheel. And Austin Ekeler doesn’t just seem like a cool guy, he’s a helluva an athlete, too.
