Road Bike Tricks

It's a promo for the BikeRadar event.

British trials legend Martyn Ashton does just that and more in his latest video, The BikeRadar Roadie.

The clip sees Mountain Biking Hall of Fame member Ashton hit the tarmac on his carbon Raleigh Avanti Team on his way to the UK's premier bike festival, BikeRadar Live -- which takes place on 10-11 July.

Eh? You do know the rider is/was one of the best trials riders in the world, right?

When I looked at the first time I didn't think it was Martin Ashton either and I know who he is. It must be though as doing something like that would be pretty easy for him, reckon his hair is dyed or something.

I take it his own bike brand has been taken over by Raleigh now?

Perhaps he's got a trials body double? :)

I thought it was awesome. Too much negativity, here.

I wonder how many tubes he went through

Perhaps he's got a trials body double? :)

Or a roadie double? maybe he doesn't like how he looks in lycra!

Seen him doing a backflip at Fort William before, he broke his back or neck learning them into a foam pit which seems a bit unlucky!

Did he forget the foam?

Even more impressive that he did it all on the drops.

Did he forget the foam?

The foam bricks were actually breeze blocks. It's an easy mistake to make.

Well, he *was *in Scotland.. they are well 'ard in Scotland..
