Great video.

great to see him smiling and riding a bike.

Thanks wwaswas, I couldn’t seem to get it to embed like that on my phone. Although more likely me than technology fail!

Great stuff!

Feel good video of the day.. Inspiring stuff.

Where’s the trail Though?
Looks fun

He’s still a better rider than me. Where was that track? looks fun.

Great to see him back on a bike and enjoying himself!

Awesome stuff! He looks well happy 😀
What track is it?

😀

Completely fabulous.

Absolutely brilliant! Best bit was the look of joy on his face 🙂

Fantastic to watch, glad to see him on a bike again.
What track is it? Antur Stiniog

The look of joy on Martyn’s face. 😀

* It’s gone a bit dusty here.

Doesn’t need to be dusty. 🙂
Happy to say I shed a wee tear seeing that.

bit dusty in here

Yep, it’s Antur..

That’s the problem with youtube though – bits of dust off his back wheel can actually get through your screen and into your eye! Can’t they?

Awesome video 😀

I am jealous of just how good he still is.

I know that sounds really horrible but seriously, still better than I am.

What an utter legend.

Just before I first posted this I thought only I’d been caught out by that dust.

Nope dusty in here too. Awesome video.

Love the fact they are all just giddy.

Dust is spreading north too…

That look of joy on his face. 😀

That’s ridiculous! What an inspirational legend.

properly brilliant video. Thanks for sharing that.

I know e-bikes are meant to be for rider assist but that technology must open some exciting opportunities for Martyn and others in a similar situation.

Absolutely fantastic!

That was brilliant. The way he has held himself through this whole ordeal has been incredible, he’s a true inspiration. Chapeau Martyn, you are awesome.

I was just about to post the same thing.

Warm fuzzy feelings!

Bloody awesome to see someone so happy back doing what they love.

Really, really excited to see where he takes this next 🙂

Really, really excited to see where he takes this next

world cup DH course he says 🙂

as others have said the look of joy on his face….
legend!

Awesome, just awesome, when he gets some air off one of those drops/jumps the look of sheer joy on Martyn’s face is brilliant, such a good, feel good video.

I love how he’s just riding with his mates, and they’re all euphoric at seeing him on a mountain bike again.

He’s also a MUCH better rider than me still, what a bloke 😀

Did he not do the hill at Goodwood speed festival on a Yamaha too?

I’m watching that video later on just incase 😉

Very cool – I’d like to see an ebike company build him a 300w motor into a frame so he can really let rip, perhaps with electric drop down outrigger wheels so he can come to a stop whenever he wants.

That’s chuffin’ marvellous that is!

I really can’t wait to see what he does next.

somafunk, I like how you think!

Having suffered a spinal cord injury 20 odd years ago i’ve had thoughts about designs that i may need for a similar set-up for myself in the future, I got away with no lasting mobility problems at the time but now, 20 years later there are issues getting worse with mobility and muscle power that mean my average speed on the road is now down to 7mph and any gradient at all means i am straight down into granny gears.

An ebike with a big chuffing motor and failsafe outriggers would open up cycling for so many people out there – dunno quite how it work but there’s plenty of very clever bike designers out there who could come up with something suitable.

I can’t get my rear wheel off the ground like that to ride on my front wheel, what a beautiful video about friendship.

Amazing video, the smiles and giggles sound like any good ride with mates.

He’s been involved with Mr Crud making out riggers for his motorbike, I believe he rode it at goodwood.

Just awesome.

Awesome! Totally made my day….

Brilliant, made me smile lots!
