Martyn Ashton is, hands down, the best representative for the entire sport of Mountain Biking, adaptive or otherwise. What a legend! And watching the genuine concern Blake has for him on their ride is outstanding. Wish I had been there on the same day just to say hello!
Dude is a balls out legend!
Couldn't agree more...but I will.
Everything about mountain biking is included in this video! The stoke, the grind, the fear, the nervous laughters, the high fives, the sharing with friends, the outdoors, the hurt, the complete sense of accomplishment, the inclusion of all, the rocks, the roots, the oups!, the fu(ks, the sketchy scouting lines, the pure freaking fun from riding trails. I loved it! thanks for all the hard work and great content. Cheers, MC
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked this one!
Well put! I want to see more of this man, absolute giant he is!
Martin, you are such an inspiration. Total classic!
We never get tired of watching Martyn ride!
Complete classic!
8:08 was a dab! Not a crash.
Martyn you absolute legend (and nutter!!). I love the line, "man I'm scared I'm scared - ah f**k it", then totally sends it!!! Awesome and inspiring!
Had us in stitches this bit!
that is Mountain biking in a nutshell!
Yes Martyn, this is an absolutely awesome video. I was at the edge of my seat in places. I am positive that I am not alone when I say WE NEED MORE MARTYN VIDEOS!
More coming! Now Martyn's set up on the Bowhead it's a bit easier to get out riding with him, hopefully we'll be out more often in the coming years
I want more martyn videos
Glad I was not the only one. A couple swear words came out too while watching this. Martyn should submit for sends of the week!
Was going to say I want more Martyn videos as well.
Martyn you are a legend that has pushed the boundaries of cycling from "back in the day" and you still continuing to do so, your achievements are truly amazing and absolute inspiration to so many people. I tip my hat to you sir.
Well said Pete!
Martyns smile said it all, and his closing commments about adaptive riders feeling part of the sport and desirable at the parks - Bang on!!!
As an adaptive rider I couldn't agree more Martyn when you said it makes people feel they belong, absolutely spot on. A recent trip to Les Gets I found the lift staff brilliant and it made the whole trip so enjoyable. Great reporting GMBN team.
Utterly amazing. Martyn, you're a lunatic! IT would be amazing to get design to the point where they can do terrifying and technical yet flowy and manageable routes for adaptives.
and the point from 15:10 is amazing! Inclusion and representation make a huge difference!
Awesome AF! Well done Martyn and well done Whistler. This is what inclusive sport should look like - able bodied and less-abled all on the same routes. One sport, one family!
The smile on martyns face when hes riding is truly infectious! Keep on shredding!
The smile on msrtynd face
Loving the Mr Ashton and Blake duo everytime. Also I get tears of joy seeing Mr Ashton on a bike enjoying it to the fullest!
Thank you guys.
I think I had as much fun watching this as Martyn had riding those trails. This is now my all time favourite Martyn video!! Well done all and a huge KUDOS to Martyn for sharing his experiences.❤
The two of you always means an awesome video, but this one was special. You did something truly important not just for viewers but for the general public.
Martin, I’m sure you won’t read this comment but I show all your videos to my daughters 4 & 7. They love to watch and I explain what a truly inspirational sporting legend you are. Keep the vids coming please.
I want my kids to know what true grit and passion are.
Happy trails
The man is an inspiration! Deep, deep respect Mr Ashton. Truly outstanding. Can’t think of a better friend to be there with you than ‘Mr beautiful people’ himself!
THAT is Testicular Fortitude. Despite his adversities Martyn is still a beast! Much respect, and you inspire so many of us Sir..
So cool to see Martyn having so much fun!
Love the glee in which Blake tells Martyn how difficult the next bit is. Well done Martyn, you are a true inspiration and a complete legend!
You can really tell that Blake loves Martyn - they're so cute together! :D
Was awesome watching this!
Martin, you're doing great, Blake you are like a very protective father, have noticed the relationship between you guys a few times now and boy, I take my hat off to you both, absolute legends !! Cheers from NZ
Martyn you are a true inspiration. The relationship you share with bikes is a love story for the ages. Thank you.
Watching the Martyn/Blake team is always my favourite videos to watch, always brings tears to my eyes. Thank you both for sharing these awesome videos.
Martyn is the man. So much respect for this man and his positivity, would love to have a beer with Martyn and Blake if I could.
Watched the entire video with a massive grin… From Martin’s send it attitude, to Blakes care and nervousness for his mate, to Rich Payne’s infectious laugh… top content guys 👍🏻
Balls of steel and/or brains of jelly! Absolutely loved this - fantastic work Mr Ashton (and Blake) and well done Whistler! True pioneers.
Martin is such a legend! Also kudos to Blake and team for being there for him, you guys are the best!
One of the best episodes I’ve seen, Martin wheeled that like a beast!
This one is a banger, was great fun for all of us! 🤘
You guys crack me up!!!! Martyn, you're still an absolute animal!!! Blake, you're such a great buddy! This is an awesome video!
🎉 at the bike park! This level of commitment for access is truly commendable - let’s see Martin reviewing all the related tech and discuss trail designs as well. Bring the whole thing up a level!
Watching the love and respect between Martyn and Blake is truly something special. We love you guys. Such and inspiration.
Great video guys. The Whistler bike patrol guys are amazing. I had a crash there in June and broke my neck and back and they got me down the mountain safely. The lady in charge of the rescue was phenomenal and handled it like a boss. Eternally grateful to Whistler bike patrol.
First there was the jaw dropping moment of Lemoine's gap jump at Joyride, but now seeing Martyn sending it down O-Sin, the top moment from Crankworx Whistler. Great to see you guys return to Whistler this summer. Inspiring and fun!
We were very happy to go back Stuart! Crankworx is always a good time
I love seeing Blake and Martyn together riding, they just ooze enjoyment and I really crave me some of that atm
Big respect to you Martin and Blake. Love to see you having fun like this and still be scared even with all the experience you all have.
Martyn, just an absolute legend. The both of you. The concern Blake shows is heart warming. I grew up with you, watching you and 'The Martians' from early early MBUK days. The inspiration to ride. And now, even more so. You’re riding stuff I couldn't hope to now lol! Just never give up.
I absolutely love these videos with Martyn! And he rides so fearlessly which is almost a bit uncomfortable to watch but it's very sick!
Martin you little beast!! Blake your the man & great teamwork.
Huge Kudos to Whistler for this initiative, it needs to be adopted in trail centres around the world. I am not surprised that halfway through Martyn was concerned, that trail looks hard enough for an able bodied biker.
🔥🔥Martin Ashton, you are an absolute legend and a massive Inspiration for so many abled and unabled bodied riders. I'm so glad that you just roll with the punches life throws at you. Cudos to Blake 👍 for being there for you. What a true friend you have. Love GMBN.🔥🔥
Bravo GMBN, out of the park once again, massive big up to Martyn and Blake the interaction between them is brilliant, Martyn must have massive 🎱 🎾 👍🏻👏🏻
Yet AGAIN! Setting the bar for what others see as unachievable. Bravo sir 👏👏👏👏👏
martyn is a legend! he did great! handled even the sketchiest stuff like a beast!
It's not an easy trail! Super tough ride, even with a regular bike
Best video ever! Martyn riding features better than most just shows the skill from a trials master. Had the pleasure to see Martyn and Blake at the bottom of original sin…Martyn was hollering at some folks to give them their camera so he could take an amazing picture from his point of view! Keep sharing your point of view Mr. Ashton, you are moving us all along
This is what GMBN should be. I know that the sponcon is necessary for your business model, and the highly edited slick stuff appeals to a certain audience, but this was leagues better than any of that. So authentic and compelling!
Martyn is an absolute hero!
You represent the best of us.
Respect Martyn. So exciting to watch. LEGEND.
you absolute sender!!!! pushing the limits and not stopping, i love it. inspirational mate!!!
Martyn your a true champion just sending all of that ! And Blake wing man of the year. I really love these videos that you two do together it's youtube gold 👍
Fantastic Martyn. Adaptive Mountain biking trails have been built over the last several years throughout parts of Western Australia. It's really good to see.
@16:30….too right my man! Gotta say that I have taken so much from Martin’s resilience. I have a back injury that occasionally makes it difficult to walk, sit or do much of anything, but sometimes I get well enough to feel pretty normal on a mountain bike. That’s when I grab hold of life, find the nearest trail that scares the snit out of me and point the bike downhill. I love these videos…gonna get a Martin Ashton tattoo one of these days…right on my forehead
Incredible saves by Martyn! Keep rocking it!
Martyn’s a beast! Wow, loved watching every second of this.
Atta boy Martyn! Way to show NO FEAR and just GO FOR IT!!! Good job!!!
Mr Ashton. You already had legend status before this. You’ve earned double legend status. Well bloody done!
Martin Ashton is one of the prime examples that no odds are insurmountable as long as you know what limits you can push yourself to and once reached, just go farther and farther! Man, you are not just an inspiration, you are an icon!!! 🤘🤘🤘
I love how game martyn is on the bowhead and how much blake looks out for him I think Blake gets plenty of satisfaction out of seeing martyn take on the trails, keep it up lads 👍
This is without doubt THE most exciting video you've ever pulled together. Fooking amazing 👏 and hilarious 😂 I'm holding my breath on so much of this 🤣😂🙈 Face aches so much 😁😁😁
Thank you Dan! Glad you enjoyed it
Well done Mr. Ashton the smile on your face said it all. Keep up the good work because you’re opening doors for everyone to follow. God Bless.
Whether it be back in the day on the trials bikes or now on the hand bike still one of the best riders we have ever seen thanks Martyn for all your effort to entertain us. #epicrider!
Couldn't agree more!
@@gmbn Super hero’s do exist!
God, I love being part of the mountain bike community. Started 30 years ago on a Marin Muirwoods and never looked back.
So much positivity, enthusiasm, acceptance and welcoming determination to a sport for everyone.
Martyn and all of the top riders and personalities like Ollie Wilkins and many others who are great ambassadors for the sport are the embodiment of that magnificent culture.
Great video and massive kudos to Whistler for their incredible work to encourage all.
I am in awe of this man. It will feel so much faster and gnarly being that close to the ground and he shreds/sends it like it's nothing. Legend Mr Ashton 🤯
I have been hoping they would release a video like this I think it’s absolutely brilliant. I think the whole crew should try Martin’s bike and see how they get on.
As an disabled (lost a leg) myself, i can just say: Well done Wistler!!
And well done Martyn!!
Started with an handbike years ago, but now iride an E-Mountainbike :D
It's so great to see technology ables all of us to do what we wanna do!!!
Awesome riding Martyn & Blake!
Best GMBN video in a long while. Great job Whistler!
Martyn is a super hero full sending black tech! Awesome friends along for the ride! Keep on inspiring, you guys are awesome.
Also good on whistler for what they are doing as well, hopefully other parks follow their lead.
The best video in ages! What a great idea and others need to follow. Watching your smile Martyn while following Chris down that black was awesome
I love that you‘re incorporating adaptive biking! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Please keep it up!
I love watching these two riding together. There's nothing like watching a guy who made his name doing backflips and tricks looking totally terrified watching Martyn going ballistic on the trail.
Martyn is the best and these videos always give me emotional feels. The happiness in his face throughout is incredible.
Martin, Blake, Rich and whole crew......this is truly (for me) THE most beautifull, enthousiastic, emotional episode . It is a rollercoaster of laughing, goosebumping and even more.....everything in it for the whole episode......fantastic !!
Great video folks, from Blakes enthusiam to Martyn's balls to Whilster putting in the effort. Best video for a good while
Yeah Martin getting after it! And Blake you're the Man that made it happen 👏 Love you guys 🤘
Oh wow, this has to be the very best of the mountain biking scene. Fun, exciting and above all, open and welcoming to everyone. Of course there are always improvements to be made but Mr Ashton, you and the GMBN crew are the finest ambassadors for our amazing sport that I know of. Also massive kudos to Whistler for doing this, another huge step forward in making the sport more accessible and welcoming to more people. Hopefully the rest of the world follow the example.
Blake's energy 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Martyn, that is the coolest thing I've ever seen. You have bullocks the size of Texas. It's also cool to have mates like Blake having just as much fun being a spotter. Great video!!
Martin you truly are an inspiration. This video had it all and the laughter everytime you conquered each section is exactly the feeling we all have when we beat our own fears. Thank you so much!!
Just amazing. It makes me feel so happy seeing you riding and pushing the limits of what's possible. Well done you, well done whistler 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🔥🔥🔥
This is the best video I've seen from gmbn. Martyn you are the man, an inspiration to us all.
5:19 is everything! Another great video! 🙌
I was at the edge of my seat watching Martin on this narley trail but he was brilliant and fearless what a guy I should try harder to conquer my fears on the trails.👏👏
Wow just wow what an awesome video and privilege for you Martyn and Blake to test a trail for Whistler bike park 👊🤘
This video has it all 😁
Awesome stuff #GMBN and all involved at Whistler 👊🤘😎
Martyn has big kahoonas ! and so much heart, sending it down stuff I would be afraid to try...so good to see Whistler making the trails attractive to adaptive riders, I'm sure many more bike parks will follow suit
Well done whistler..well done Martyn a true Westcountry Pioneer just like Isambard Kingdom Brunnel, stoked for you ,love watching you ride ,you are a true legend of our sport ,always pushing the boundries
I don't think I have ever commented on a video before but this one...... True inspiration and you can tell how much it means. Cracking work GMBN!
Is a great that in Whistler Park they do this and a huge respect to Martyn.
So impressed by Martyn and that machine no joke sections for sure.
I don't think I've beenore stoked on a video you guys have put out. I was actually fist pumping throughout the video.
Martyn you are an absolute legend!!
Inspirational, feel-good, AWESOME video. Made me proud as a Canadian that Whistler is going the extra mile to make the bike park better for everyone.
Regular viewer to all your channels… this is my fave video. Martyn is fearless/crazy and god bless Blake.
Martyn, you are amazing and a terrific role model for us all. I really enjoy the videos with you and Blake, teamwork makes the dream work.
That Bike of Martyn does some very nice MTB ASMR! I don't know if you have done this before but it would be awesome if you could get Blake one of those special bikes and see how he does with Martyn guiding him! Keep'em coming guys!
having ridden Original Sin multiple times I have nothing but respect for you getting as far as you did!
That off camber slab is way harder than any video can capture!
but even the other stuff! it is crazy how just by being on such a different vehicle sections that are otherwise "easy" to steer around became super janky rock gardens!
massive respect for you and what you do for the sport and for whistler for investing on allowing everyone to have fun!
Martin I am so happy about this, you are the perfect person for this formidable task. It’s been a hard week for me but this video has certainly cheered and energized me up!!! This was very difficult but I’m not sure you would’ve been happy if it had been too easy. Hope you made a thorough and complete report as your point of view is so very valuable in making this something that is successful, I want everyone to be able to enjoy mountain biking not just those of us with functional limbs. You took considerable risk and you are to be Heartily commended. I think you just did something that nobody else in the world can do…gotta stop writing I cryin’!!!
Awesome. Great seeing you shredding it Martyn and love how Blake is genuinely stoked to see you accomplish it. Keep up the good work guys.
I won't ever forget this video, everyone did a terrific job, and man, will power at the extreme, nice ride Martyn
Every riding video with Martin in it is the best! Keep them coming!
AMTB Riders are so SICK. Big up to em! 🤘
Martyn ...you are absolutely LEGEND !!
Wow, truly impressed by the Whistler efforts, not mention Martyn and his trusted fellow kamikaze support team. Well done #GMBN!
