I'm not trying this!!
« on: October 16, 2014, 01:43:12 pm »
This bit of film is great fun - on a road bike too!

I like the out-takes at the end - proves the guy's (almost) human!!

Anyway, enjoy:

While it makes for terrific watching, there's very good reason to not try such things. Martyn Ashton is now paralyzed form the waist down, thanks to a spinal injury incurred while performing: http://www.bikemag.com/news/news-trials-star-martyn-ashton-suffers-significant-spinal-injury/

He has incredible internal strength as well as remarkable skills. A scant four months after the injury, he was back on a (hand) bike: http://road.cc/content/news/109094-paralysed-trials-rider-martyn-ashton-back-handbike

Best,

Dan.
