Jake. Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 As soon as I saw this I knew it'd be a hit, sure he released one before but not as good. People seem to be impressed by stuff they never deemed possible, which is why Danny Mac vid well. And now I wouldn't be surprised if this was a regular on rude tube and had 10M plus hits. Nice one Martyn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilf Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 I may be wrong, but are those Hope hubs I see in the video? They're hope wheels, carbon aswell! Hope posted the video on their facebook page saying "Ashton testing our Carbon wheels to the extreme" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice one Martyn! I really hope he does get some Danny Mac like exposure. I think it is over due and he deserves it. I also really want Martyn to do a decent video like this on his hex or another trials bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 I bet there are people on this forum now that, through no fault of their own, don't have any idea just how important Martyn was to trials. What an awesome vid, and I'm sure it'll get the recognition it deserves, even though I'm absolutely certain he couldn't give a toss if it does or not. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ULtrialsguy Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Well it's hit nearly 1.5 million views in less than two days. I think it's only going to grow faster and faster. Maybe 4 million views by next week. Any takers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtisRider Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Just watched this, freaking awesome! Also really impressive considering he is approaching 40! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 When I first started trials I bought an issue of MBUK and it had a how to section with him on his Raid bike, I was so chuffed when I looked back and realised I had learnt all the basics in that. Amazing video, the rail bit really had me stunned on that bike. And last back flip was awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_VD Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 This is one of the coolest videos I've seen for ages. I used to be big into trials around 7 years ago, then moved away from it. It was only when I saw the original MacAskill video that it became apparent that standards have improved an insane amount. Ashton doing that stuff, on a road bike, now?! He was one of the old-skool guys years ago. Quite amazing, and inspiring, that he's still got it in him! Good effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
