This. I find Martyn far more inspiring than watching Brandon Semenuk land an insane trick or Rachel Atherton on a race winning run. Such a positive mindset. Humbling.
Legend is right. Inspiring is another word I do not use lightly.......Nothing changes, Mr Ashton (Sir) doing his best. Thanks for sharing, being an asset and not being a quitter, cause there's nothing worse than quitters. I'd love to see some videos of what you have learned with regard to bike building for your new skill set. Any one of us may have had the opportunity to experience a rough outcome to any cycling adventure and many of us have. It's clearly not defining you as a person other than the face fuzz in your selfies M.A. Freaky is an F word. Defining has its limitations. Clearly there are many people here on your side so don't be defined, cause you had us at the mention of cycling and party!

I don't know how science will grow in the next years, but i really hope you'll manage to ride/walk again some day. Amongst all the other people with similar stories. Stay positive, Sir!
Martyn, in all our hearts you will always be a winner. Your courage and spirit both before the accident but especially after are a true inspiration. Thank you for being around, the World is a better place for you being in it. And you can ride off any building, vehicle, or anything else I own : )
Holy smokes, I had no idea Martyn was that insanely talented on so many types of bikes. I feel so completely inferior on my little cross country trails.
I've been a fan of Martyn for 20 plus years and I've been out of riding a few years since getting hit by two cars and having kids. Ive been crying through these videos but what an inspiration he is! Martyn has inspired me to get back into riding. He will drive technology on these bikes rapidly too which will benefit people all over the planet. What a guy!
I Can still remember when i was a beginner a few years ago but without you guys i still would be! I cant thank you enough for making my life so much better
Seriously! GMBN has made me learn so much and get so much better at mountain biking that even I can't express the gratitude in words. :) These guys make mountain biking awesome all the time when I am off the bike.
You are such an inspiration Martyn. In spite the life changing injury, you have managed to keep moving forward in life with good vibes. Hope to see another video of you riding again.
I got a bit emotional watching these videos. You were were inspirational when we were kids learning our way round the trails. You continue to be an inspiration to us. I was massively happy to see you still on the trails. Much love Martin.
No words can describe this man. Just the best way to explain it. Your mental stability your attitude and your commitment is something I’ve never seen before. YOUR A LEGEND
I know this video was posted a year ago but WOW!!!! You are amazing!!!!! You are a true inspiration and an absolutely incredible athlete! I feel like my riding will progress from your example! Thank you Martyn!
This is really the video of Martyn’s life and seeing how he pushed hard to get on the bike again and inspired many of us viewers to push that little further in any format.
I get chills every time I see you on a bike. You're accomplishments are amazing, pre and post paralysis. You are an inspiration. You are the World Cup of Biking!
Not only is your attitude an inspiration Martyn, but you can tell that doing these things surrounded by your mates means the world to you. You're a legend man, keep on shredding 👍
Sir dude Mr Ashton thank you so very much for being the human you are... this is such an incredible moment in your life and you pushed forward so hard you got back on a bike.... My words are not coming out right as this is genuinely emotional in a good way seeing someone go through something so life changing yet grabs life by the balls and keeps going.... So thank you Mr Ashton sir.... you are an inspiration and a genuine guy...
what a huge inspiration martyn is, i still have a signed poster from him at birmingham nec bike show back from years ago at my parents, his positivity is truly incredible!
Martyn, thanks for sharing this vid ! I am impressed by your skills and all of your attempts to get back on your bike ! You can be happy to have those great guys from the shed around you. You are a motivation for everybody that is injured and struggling going back into the saddle...
I first saw the Inspired Bicycles Danny Macaskill video in 2009. Cycling around Edinburgh to the Band of Horses sound track, The Funeral. I was blown away. Then someone told me there's a bloke doing the same on a racer!? I was double blown away. Bike party is incredible. I was sad on hearing about the accident, but watching you on GMBN is a real treat. It can't be stated enough what an inspiration you are. Keep the videos coming please.
You are a source of inspiration, you make all of as want to go stronger and fester at everything in life specially in mountain biking. Thank you for all your efforts to be the best version of yourself you make us all do the same!
Hey Martyn. This video came up and I was just explaining how much of a fan I was of yours when I was a kid. In doing so I realised you had a major influence for me getting into filmmaking. My mate and I tried to make videos just like yours. Thank you. It’s been 15 wonderful years in my career, I’m working on Star Trek tomorrow. ✌️
amazing job bro!!! you are so inspiring and amazing you don't feel sorry for yourself you just push on i wish you the very best man you are in my prayers i hope you can over come this horrible injury and get back to riding as soon as possible
I live in hope that some day I will be able to meet Martyn Ashton and personally thank him for proving that no matter how impossible it may seem it is truly amazing what can be achieved with a positive attitude and the help of great friends. Martyn, You Sir are an inspirational legend and deserve the utmost respect from us all. You have taught us all how important it is to never give up and make the best of whatever life throws at us. :-) Best Wishes from 'Hairy' Paul. Ex BMX racer & aging MTB nutter in Ayrshire, Scotland.
I don't think, no wait, I now I have never had more fun watching a bike related video than watching your bike party videos. I was both amazed, and humbled watching you accomplish those stunts, Your an amazing and very talented man Martyn, you have every right to be very Proud. Secretly, I'm also very envious too...lol
Martyn..as you can tell by every video you make with the comments,you inspire a LOT of people. Me included. My dream is to be as good as you are NOW..Nevermind how you were before the accident..Keep pushing and keep being RAD!!
This bloke is so strong like he’s watching a clip that finishes a second before he has this life changing injury honestly some people would never even watch something like that but this mad lad is so strong that he just loves watching does he CLASS
Mr A, as a teen u was an inspiration and a hero to many of us, fast forward 2 decades and your more of the above than ever before! Every one on 2 wheels admires your attitude and determination😎😎
This was a fun video to watch. Couldn’t imagine seeing this stuff live. This video explains a lot of questions about your amazing career Martin. I’m gonna check out the road party videos. Think I may have seen parts of them before but didn’t know about gmbn then.
You continue to be a great inspiration to so many. My freakish moment was riding down Thunder at Oak Mountain State Park and went over a small jump, I went down but couldn't unclip. I heard lots of snack, crackle pop. I laid in the trail, by myself for 5-7 mind before I moved. Thankfully nothing was broken. F
Martyn, you are my Hero bruh ! The Bike Party vids were, and still are, Legendary !!!!! The A-line drop in was balls to the proverbial wall Skrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt!!!
I just noticed (2:54) Blake was involved way back in "Down, Not Out" riding in front of Martyn and helping put him on the bike from the front. That's pretty cool. :)
10 amazing moments. Some of them seem utterly impossible. But the most heroic moment isn't here. That was hearing the MRI machine banging around & deciding what trick to do next on Bike Party 2. I felt something like that in the moments before my operation in 2016. Keep going Martyn; you are an inspiration to all of us.
Martyn you have always been an inspiration, i've utterly admitted you ever since I purchased Chainspotting back in the day. I think tho now you've become an excellent presenter, so maybe you could find another avenue to inspire even more people on the big telly! Still do GMBN, after all, mountain biking is within your DNA, but come on, we need you on our TV even more!
What a great guy, incredibly inspiring, it is such a shame you are paralised from the waist down, but you are still amazing and the best person in the world!
had a decent crash this year riding the devon dirt, I managed all the off road bits just fine but on the road my front wheel slipped on some stones and I binned it over the bars, lucky for me my camelback protected my back, ive got two lovely scars on my calf where my DMR pedals sliced me open down to the meaty stuff, a trip to A&E later with 13 stitches it was all good! thanks for sharing with us Martyn your a bloody legend and from my own home town too!
When God puts a comma it only means to slow down/pause its not a period for us to stop. You’re story is one of the most AMAZING ones i’ve ever come across with! Thank you for the inspiration. Well done Mate👍🏼😊💪🏻 Watching here from the Philippines. Keep Shredding😊
Its amazing how something can happen that would put a brick wall in front of most people and stop them dead in there tracks but this guy decided to get over it and jump back on a bike pretty amazing i wish i had the courage that he does i really gained alot of respect for you just from one video.
Man you're such a legend! Your energy and enthusiasm and positive attitude, despite your life-changing injury is amazing. Huge love and respect!
This. I find Martyn far more inspiring than watching Brandon Semenuk land an insane trick or Rachel Atherton on a race winning run. Such a positive mindset. Humbling.
Absolutely amazing Martyn,I love your positive attitude.keep up the great work

You rock, Martyn! Seeing all of your history inspires me incredibly. Thank you for sharing and for pushing yourself so far!

Very inspiring and motivating, and after all this time i didn't even realise it was you who did that video. Much respect much love.
Martyn, thanks for sharing this vid ! I am impressed by your skills and all of your attempts to get back on your bike ! You can be happy to have those great guys from the shed around you.
You are a motivation for everybody that is injured and struggling going back into the saddle...
You are, a incredible man. Inspirational, your attitude to getting up and riding again. Truly amazing. Thank you.
That was awesome. You did things I can only dream off. The pre injury feats were amazing the post injury were just plain WTF. I LOVED IT!

Such a legend and an attitude that's contagious. Respect bruh!
One of the most inspirational men around today..
Mr. Ashton, you are a living legend
"Back on Track" was the most amazing video. I was so happy for you that you managed to do that and have such a great time.
This bloke is so strong like he’s watching a clip that finishes a second before he has this life changing injury honestly some people would never even watch something like that but this mad lad is so strong that he just loves watching does he CLASS
This was awesome.... simply awesome. Thank you for this video and your openness about your life changing injury. You are an inspiration.
Mr A, as a teen u was an inspiration and a hero to many of us, fast forward 2 decades and your more of the above than ever before! Every one on 2 wheels admires your attitude and determination😎😎

You did something more impressive than winning a world Cup. You got back on the bike when it seemed impossible. You are an incredible inspiration.
What a resilient nice guy!!!!!! You rock!!!!!! Your passion is contageous!!!
You continue to be a great inspiration to so many. My freakish moment was riding down Thunder at Oak Mountain State Park and went over a small jump, I went down but couldn't unclip. I heard lots of snack, crackle pop. I laid in the trail, by myself for 5-7 mind before I moved. Thankfully nothing was broken. F
This guy is a legend and to me an inspiration to never give up on what i have a passion for.
What kind of person would have give this a thumbs down? Big props Martyn, amazing stuff.
He’s called Billy no mates , he spends all his time all over the internet
That moment over the finish line at Fort William is epic! Heroic.
Down not Out is the best video I've ever seen.So amazing!
all your videos are so sick! , with danny an chris, and alone too, you are the best !
A true hero. As inspirational as you are likeable.
Inspirational, Legendary and above all Heroic.
I'm only saddened by the fact I can only like this video once.
You can always give it a share CatPaw! That's almost worth more likes 😁
never seen a guy riding road bike like you did, endless respect
Keep doing what you do! You are the perfect example of inspiration!
Love your your work martyn. Such an inspiration and positive person , many thanks
Dude. You are a Legend and a inspiration on so many levels. RESPECT
Thanks for sharing Martyn, this is very impressive and you're doing it right! :)
Martyn, you are my Hero bruh ! The Bike Party vids were, and still are, Legendary !!!!! The A-line drop in was balls to the proverbial wall Skrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt!!!
I just noticed (2:54) Blake was involved way back in "Down, Not Out" riding in front of Martyn and helping put him on the bike from the front. That's pretty cool. :)
Laura Vance Blake, Danny and Chris.
Well Martyn and Blake went on tour together back in the days. You should be able to find some clips on UA-cam, the animal tour iirc.
Yep! He's also in RBP2 too! Have a closer look at those tennis players at the start 🤔 😉

10 amazing moments. Some of them seem utterly impossible. But the most heroic moment isn't here. That was hearing the MRI machine banging around & deciding what trick to do next on Bike Party 2. I felt something like that in the moments before my operation in 2016.

Behind the scenes of the bike party stuff is just awesome. The final product makes it look so eaay.
I can't lie, I get a little choked up hearing Martyn say "I ride on". So glad you do...keep the rubber side down!
