Barney Marsh takes the word ‘career’ literally, veering wildly across the road of his life, as thoroughly in control as a goldfish on the dashboard of a motorhome.
He’s been, with varying degrees of success, a scientist, teacher, shop assistant, binman and, for one memorable day, a hospital laundry worker. These days, he’s a dad, husband, guitarist, and writer, also with varying degrees of success. He sometimes takes photographs. Some of them are acceptable.
Occasionally he rides bikes to cast the rest of his life into sharp relief. Or just to ride through puddles. Sometimes he writes about them. Bikes, not puddles.
He is a writer of rongs, a stealer of souls and a polisher of turds.
He isn’t nearly as clever or as funny as he thinks he is.

[long long long silence] Have you seen my jaw, it just fell off?
Fantastic – I wonder how many days they had to wait for weather like that…
Wow! Now I know how to ride fences. 😉
Shame to go all that way and find that somebody’s taken your boat.
Always wondered what FRO actually meant….
Better late than never STW…
Stunning.
It’s been up for over 2 hours, gavstorie – you in a rush? 🙂
My God. If there has ever been a more stunning mountain bike film made, I know not of its existence.
beautiful, and scary
I see his sponsorship has hit the big time .
Great film. No wonder those bikes and wheels are expensive, they give so many away
Blimey
Why didn’t he go back to his boat?
Simply stunning. What I admire about Danny is that, whilst he has amazing riding talent, he doesn’t rely on just that to make a film. He – or at least his film-makers – make that extra effort to impress with all the other elements that make a film entertaining.
It certainly looks a lot different from the last time I was encased in fog on the Cuillin.
No Barney… Saw it yesterday when the rest of the internet had it posted… The STW board of film classification must have been checking if it was suitable for us to view before they posted it.
Gavstorie – I was a couple of hours late because I was busy (check the dates if you like).. sorry if I failed to meet your high expectations 🙂
It finally made it to the BBC front page. Go Danny (and Stu).
