RAD.
That gave me goosebumps. I can't even imagine.

C'mon you have to be a robot not to cry at least a bit when looking at his joyful face. Like one of the comments on PB says, "I have nothing but admiration for both Martyn, and for the whole team that continues to support him. The MTB bond is unparalleled in contrast to any other sport, truly an inspirational thing to see."
When Martyn went down it really struck me, as it happened before when Tarek Rasouli suffered from a similar injury. It's great to see him back on two wheels.

the joy on his face , simply amazing
badass. props to him for getting back on the bike; props to his friends for supporting him.
Just awesome.
Looked like the bike could be setup better for someone who can't shift their COG. More like a trophy truck, soft rear end with more damping. Pedaling efficiency isn't a concern. An e-bike would be cool, keep the speed up through the little rises and to help unweight the front end.

Great story, but can't help but think, like Westy, that it could have been set up better.
For starters, ditch the chain, chainring, derailleurs, cassette, and shifters. Just seems obvious.
Also, his use of a DOSS dropper makes no sense in this application. He could never actuate it. He claims it's for strength, but that doesn't make sense. A simple strong traditional seatpost would be better, or one made specifically for that chair.

The guy had to make some room for his sponsors. Those Nicolai Mojo frames aren't cheap. What's why all those fancy blue bits were there.
Maybe I'm digressing here, but maybe Martyn and Rock Jeebuz could exchange techniques...

Martyn Ashton is awesome... Just watched GCN and Martyn was pissing around in the background pulling wheelies and generally trying to put Matt Stevens off while he presented the show.
He hasn't changed one bit from the old days messing around with Warner and all the MBUK guys. I reckon he'd be a good guy to have alongside Warner commentating for Redbull. it's ace to see the support he still has.

Well, Ashton and the guys at GMBN did it again. The video is epic, mostly because we're able to see Martyn's stoke through his eyes. And the amount of humor he puts into every single situation is amazing:
Great stuff. He shreds harder than me!
