I am the proud winner of this week's 'hack'. The back story is that we live full-time on board a sailing catamaran and spend lots of time on anchor. My husband, Andy, engineered this solution to enable us to transport our bikes from our boat to shore. It works like a dream and enables us to go from Sail to Trail! Thanks GMBN! 😊
I had goosebumps when both of you were singing "Hacks and Bodges" with all your heart. It seemed you had the pride and faith of those kids door-to-door caroling for Christmas 😆
So I have a back pocket passion for Muni (Mountain Unicycle), and I have some experience riding a unicycle both on road and trail. I have mad respect for the guys like Terry Peterson (Unigeezer) that take unicycles on climbs and trails that I would struggle with on two wheels. You have to realize, there are no gears, no hubs, no breaks. The pedals/cranks are attached to the wheel in a 1:1 relationship. If you stop pedaling, the unicycle stops; if you pedal too fast, you go backwards. There is no riding out a drop or jump, you have to hit the ground pedaling the wheel the same speed as you and the unicycle. I would love be able to ride some major Bike park trails on a 32" Unicycle or 29" Muni, but know I will probably never have the time to practice to get to that point.
I’m with Rich. That one wheel thing is not a bike. It doesn’t even have pedals for you to use. It’s more like the one wheel equivalent of motocross than mountainbiking
These one wheel things a menace to the MTB communities - I mean actual local communities. They do not help with trail building, they do not respect trail center rules, generally not very friendly blokes and riding these things actually actively ruins trails increasing maintenance load massively. The only worse things are these electric motorcycles that pretend to be e-mtbs but ain't
Ah FFS I had a great caption for last week's Caption contest and forgot to post it 🤦 It was 'Steve's reaction as he realised there was a jump ahead of him! ' Great show Martyn and Rich Sorry Martyn but all those 1 wheeled contraptions are NOT mountain biking 😜
...the actual problem is cars. They've been responsible for most negative influences on our urban areas, including urban sprawl and inefficient use of space.
stoked you like the segment! I get the rights cleared myself and sometimes it takes a bit of time, I'm biased but I think this week was worth the wait! 😂
I bet the dude w/the gun mount on his bike doesn't get much flack from passing cars! Only an idiot would want to tick off someone that might have a gun! Oh wait, I'm in LA. I guess anthing's possible.
Can't believe Rich thinks Ski Bikes are annoying!! I'd prefer to do that, than be a snobby skier (nothing at all.......... nothing at all {stupid sexy Flanders}).
Hubby and me first got chatting properly at a house party because he found out I had a mountain unicycle (didn't ride bikes at that point weirdly) he must have thought I was he was a bit drunk and asked me to Antur Stiniog 3 times in 10 mins - said yes every time. Anyway we're married now and had our honeymoon in Morzine 😂

That is so awesome. Sounds like you guys are living the life. That’s a
Genius 👏 👏 👏
@@martynashtonGMBN Super Nice, Super Nice emoji Martyn 😉
Nice woodworking there!
Cheers 🎉
Enjoy your next ride...
Sounds like you guys are living an awesome life, congratulations I hope one day I can do something similar, enjoy it and have fun
Moving up in the world with video quality! Well done!

You guys using new cameras? Video looks well slick
Looks like they upped the framerate to 50fps, hence why it feels smooth as butter 😁
The sno go is absolutely sick
Rumour has it Martin Ashton can wheelie a Unicycle !
Caption contest: "And here we see Blake attempting to personify Martin's disdain for the lack of caption contest comments last week"
Onewheel riding is E-unicycling. Cycling in the mountains is MTB-ing. Hence, monowheel on the trails is true to MTB
Bike surfing... I used to do this in the 80s on a road bike with no helmet. Kids these days slap a name on it and think they invented something new!
Haha that’s brilliant
Last time I was at Cwm Carn earlier this summer there must have been best part of 20 one-wheeler getting ready to ride toward the end of the day!!

I liked mower like Rich. Also, I like the snow bike. They have really evolved over the last 4 yrs and are a lot of fun.
Rich was hating on the one wheel because he knows he can’t do that, but the one wheel was awesome
"Cartoon" who was a bike messenger in SF in the 90s used to surf his bike all over the place.......on acid.

Great show Martyn and Rich
Sorry Martyn but all those 1 wheeled contraptions are NOT mountain biking 😜

They'll be re inventing the "ghost train" next! 😅
Caption: Listening to Martins idea for the next show "How to Unicycle down a black?!"
I commented with a caption snd even used the hashing.. wtf lol
Another awesome Dirt Shed Show. As usual
Caption Contest: Worlds Greatest Mountain Biker..."I once crashed my mountain bike...just so that I would know what it felt like".
Caption;
Blake not happy with last week's lack of response!
New camera optics? Lookin' sharp.
Not sure who you got on checking the comments for caption contest, but there are quite a few from last week.
Martyn could have said "nice bike, Rich" and Rich still wouldn't have agreed with him in this episode, I think. 😅
Not an adult level of responsibility highlighting the San Francisco bike surfing clip.
I like the sickest thing of the week but I saw that weeks ago. 😅
stoked you like the segment! I get the rights cleared myself and sometimes it takes a bit of time, I'm biased but I think this week was worth the wait! 😂
disappointed in last week's audience forgetting to caption
the fork on the snowbike will not work properly in realy cold conditions.
Your creations are like music for the eyes. Keep creating magic!🍉 : 🥂'
There are actually ski bikes that are bikes with skis essentially. Those snogo things are pointless and lame.
XC Marathon Worlds not mentioned in News??????
Trials…
Gmbn invertational BPW...hhhmmmm, you can have that one...
Like this comment if you'd attend......
