Jake. Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Haven't had a video make me smile throughout since I watched dannys 2009 april video when I first started trials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched it again last night without that in my head and realised how good it really was. A ridiculous level of riding from everyone - it was good to see the different things they all brought to the vid. I think I was pretty much the opposite. When I first watched it I watched it as 'just a riding video' and really enjoyed it (even if it was a little emotional). It was only a little while later and after a couple of watches that it really sank in that it was the last riding video we'd ever see of Martyn and it took on a much more poignant, significant feel. I watched it with Steph last night and nearly had a little cry about it. It's such a weird feeling, knowing that someone who had such a huge impact on my life just by doing what he did on a bike can no longer do that. That Privateer article was a really cool read. It's really humbling to see how well he's dealing with his situation - still such an inspiration! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Can only echo what others have said, and glad its doing well on youtube. Nice to read all the comments left on his facebook. Martin was in the end crash sequence holding the crash mat. Shout out to my bro George Gori. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Just fyi - its Blake Samson playing tennis, and hawzee isn't in the clips with danny at all.... keep trying The video is just awesome. The best part about it for me is the sense of an old school type of riding where you get on a bike, and you go explore and try to ride it over some rad stuff. It doesn't matter that its a road bike - its just a bike, but the riding is pretty inspirational. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikeperson45 Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 I loved this video, possibly my favorite. As much as his situation sucks, he's lucky he got to potentially finish with such an amazing video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onzatpro09 Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 This video is wierdly emotional for a bike video Seeing Martyn ride was both awe inspiring and depressing. If he only recovers to a fraction of his full potential at least he can get out on a bike again, even if he isn't doing massive drop gaps to rails It's like Eddie Kidd all over again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordMersey Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Cracking video. Even though there is little hope for his recovery I will keep on wishing that hes back on his bike in the future! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikee Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Such a good video. I must have watched it over 5 times since yestarday. Just an idea, but can we get together as a community and do something nice for Martyn to show that we care and appreciate what he has done for us / trials? Just something to help keep his spirits high on the road to recovery. What though, I don't know... Just thought it would be nice if we could do something, you know.

Mikee Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 If we all pitched in a couple quid, do you think we could buy him something too? I'm sure enough of us would be up for it so we could get him something nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikee Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 How about a ecard sort of thing. We could make like a giant collage of riding photos with personal messages on from each of us. We could set a picture size, make our own pictures, then get someone with the abilities to make something of them all. I think that would be cool.

Brian Bleech Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I thought it was Hawzee at the start on the turbo trainer, which is why we don't really see his head!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Jones Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I can't find Hawzee in this. Really enjoyed this video, watched it loads of times already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Did he crash during the frontflip off those pallets? Looks like a shot they would have taken from various angles yet the landing isn't shown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
