I feel the forks pain.....

Just heard about Martyn Ashton's accident.
Totally sucks, quite a legend in the MTB / trials world.

hope he fully recovers, and swiftly.

Yeah, I was about to post this in the rider down forum. Really sad. I remember watching Martin Ashton doing Trials at Bike 96! He's been a legend on the scene for so long.

That's really shitty news.
Wishing him a full recovery.

Shit. I still have his trials VHS videos - he's a ledge. Hope he recovers!

All quiet, it's been a few months now too.

Great vid! These guys are mad as a box of frogs.

Hope Martyn is ok... No news is good news. Least that's what my mum used to say.

I wonder if thats him post crash on rollers at the beginning. Hard to tell I guess...

There was a good interview with him in Privateer.

From that, as I understand it, it's unlikely he will ride a bike again.

Actually no, Of course its not:

Unfortunately, it's not. This is his latest photo: http://instagram.com/p/hjsTkpnYPL/, taken 5 days ago.

H(eal)TFU Martyn.

Front wheeled backwards wheely down steep hill with hairpins. Strong.

^ that's Danny MacAskill

Graded this at my work last week. Had a good talk with the director Robin who was a really good guy. Very down to earth and happy to chat. The bike was in too. Hope MTB levers on the drop bars. Terrible bar tape job. :P

this is a good article about him:
