Title: Road Bike Party.
Post by: Dan n Nic on 17 December 2013, 22:58

Not sure if this has been posted before, but, after Bradley Wiggins won the TDF last year a local Rider Martyn Ashton who now mainly does trials made a video "Road Bike Party" which instantly went viral using one of wiggins' Pinarello's.
What he does on this bike, I think is awesome. How he doesn't fold the back wheel is beyond me.
The first video includes a lot of local spots to me.

Some outtakes.

Now, my reason for posting this is that Martyn Ashton was half way through filming Bike Party 2 when he broke his back whilst on the "Animal Bike Tour" at this years Silverstone superbikes. Despite this he still wanted to get the video out there so enlisted the help of the likes of Danny Macaskill to finish it then had a helping hand in putting/editing it all together whilst in his hospital bed or wheelchair. The sheer determination of the guy has got to be credited.

An actual childhood hero of mine, I've got his signature on a sticker somewhere from '98! It's gutting he's now wheelchair bound
