Awesome - total legends

I did actually give little cheers and applaud whilst watching it. If anyone had come in they'd have thought I'd gone bonkers.

In a wheelchair wearing a corset/back support was what I heard last.

Brilliant from all three of them. A mix of inspiration and sadness watching that.

that's a great vid and that one shot with the skateboard and pallets is fantastic.

Hope Martyn gets back on a bike because it's a joy to watch him ride

Yep, that loop the loop from Danny was filmed at the velodrome, I've got a clip of it on my phone. We were all banned from tweeting or instagramming it!

The bit that got me though was the reverse wheelie thing down what looks like Wrynose or Hardknott Pass. Jaw / floor.

They just keep pushing the boundaries, awe inspiring. Can't wait to show my boys when they get home from school.

Just unreal. Riding skills way beyond anything I could dream of, just shows how tough these fragile carbon roadies are too...

Such a shame to think this could well be the last footage of Ashton doing what he does best, I sincerely hope it isn't.

bloody brilliant, second the reverse wheelie down the road.

Was weird watching it, he rode passed the tree (and later the pipe) "uh oh what's he gonna do with that?!!!" 😀

Chuff me that's AMAZING. Miles miles better than Imaginate.
I always think a bike video, if a good one, should instil an immediate urge inside you to go and ride a bike. Any bike. And that video succeeds in that perfectly.

Not seen a video as good as that since Standard Bykes Style Cats, which I still watch nowadays.

Fakie nose wheelie down the road was epic. Just WOW.
The off-road riding by Akrigg was great, the loop was great as it didn't look like a specifically built loop which they often are.

People being happy in videos that they've pulled stuff. No idea why you don't see that as much nowadays but I love it!

I agree, I think most videos are now so polished they are more like full on production films than what they are which is a compilation of short clips.

Agreed about the short sharp fun aspect. None of that 'driving to the trail' or 'epic weather' nonsense.

Great to see some of my old local spots.
Tried a few times to do the stepping stones at Bolton Abbey in the 80s (all failures).

Fakie nose wheelie - favourite section by far. Insane skills!

Just watched again and realised the pallet front flip section is one take, helicopter cam?

oh and are those pre-production testing hope levers or custom one off for martyn?

might have to get that capella track

Standard Hope Trial zone brake just positioned with a set of modified hoods strategically placed I believe – shifters are then sprinters Di2

I got to photoshoot the bike in the studio last week and had a cheeky ride 🙂
