Martyn is such and ispiration to everyone even not on mtb. He can’t move his legs but he still wakes up and loves mtb while a lot of other people would give up 🤘
I would love to have Blake as a friend. He is so incredibly supportive and he has this infectious enthusiasm that shows in how happy he is every time you see him ride with Martyn.
With all the craziness that's been going on in the world recently, we really needed a little ray of sunshine to help lift our spirits. So thanks GMBN, and Martyn, for this uplifting moment. :)
I love Martyn he's such an inspiration. He proves that you can still do anything even if you have no use of you're legs. Most people would sadly give up but he just keeps going
It makes me happy that we still have people that can create such elegant solutions and be mindful of people with differing abilities. Thank you for making this video. Thumbs up to all concerned. 💙😀
YAY!!! Now let’s see some videos of Martyn shredding the trails on his sender! I hope you inspire all MTBers to drive through injuries and adapt so they can continue with their dreams
this is such a heart wrenching episode .. Martyn, I've been following you since bumping into you and your bro in 95 and I've followed your career ever since. I love what fabric have done for you, and all the engineers and doctors who helped with this incredible new carbon fibre chair. I actually work for fabric, but the nightclub of the same name - but what fabric of the sports world have done will change your life so much now ... it's just so bloody lovely and this is why I love our MTB community so much
In spite of your accident, you are so blessed with the opportunities that you have. BUT, I can't stop thinking about all of the people that will benefit because of what you are willing to put yourself through!
Martyn, You honestly are the most inspirational man iv ever known. I absolutely love that you can get back on a bike again, honestly brings a tear to my eye. You're a legend...
What an inspirational documentary. It's very heartwarming to see Martyn be genuinely happy on the trails again. This should give every fully able-bodied mountain biker much more appreciation for the sport. Thanks for sharing with us. Keep it up!
Can I just say as a person that had a spinal injury But one of the lucky bastards that got my feeling back ,,, You sir are a friggin LEGEND ...... (I crashed a jet ski and snapped L5 ,, took 6 months to get up ,,,, Man you are a inspiration Rob NSW Australia
It's not only beautiful to see, how many people work together to get that wonderful person named martyn Ashton get to ride again, but also does he in the way he is happy make you happy also by his just unbelievabely sympathic kind, and his humor. I mean the way he just looks like a completely lost person, surrounded by pros, that really know what their doing, him not having any clue what's happening, but still always having a funny joke. Just love it😂❤️
Absolutely incredible, really makes me appreciate how easy it is to go to buy a saddle, Martyn is an absolute inspiration, he always pushed the sport anyway, but I would argue he’s pushing it much further now.
Thanks everyone putting in your hearts and relentless efforts to make possible your buddy Martyn's aspiration to continue to enjoy the funSS of riding in the park, best of all with you guys around who cares for his hope n wishes. Love you guys and GMBN with salute :)
What an awesome video ,so much development into a seat so Martyn or others now can have the best seat for them to ride. You know how good it is from Martyn 's face 😁 I'm now going straight to the Whistler video when Martyn 11at went there (not with the random tandem) as one of my favourite #GMBN videos 👊 You are inspiration and legend Martyn
Great video. Would love to see more on martyn's bike, and some of the other special bikes and their riders. Red Bull has their "rob warner meets". Gmbn needs a Martyn meets..
5 years ago I was one of the first subscribers, no 11 I think ,this channel gets better and better all credit to everyone involved well done on this video and all the others you've made 🤙🤙
Didn’t really no Martin before his accident , but I ll tell you wot I love the guy wot a inspiration he’s his, ha ring broken my neck myself (c2) I feel so lucky I’m not paralysed 💙👍👍
I am a big fan of Fabric saddles, very comfy, good quality and reasonably priced. I put their products on nearly every my bicycle - from xc machines, all mountain and enduro bikes to endurance road bike, gravel and even winter bicycles. Luckily for me, few of my Cannondales were equipped with Fabric saddles from new.
this is so awesome! love all you guys at GMBN thank you so much for the awesome content. so insperational. I wasnt crying during this video , had something in my eye.... no really LOL
Would it make sense to have the seat mounted on a ball joint (moderately frictioned) or a spring that allows for some movement in all directions (not just up and down)? This would allow Martyn to shift his weight and body angle and not be stuck perpendicular to the bike all the time? More importantly due to Martyn's condition, will he have the ability to stabilize himself on a base that is as "pliable" as this since he won't be able to use his legs as support and "reset" to center. He would likely have to stabilize himself with his core and entire upper body. Would be interesting to experiment. Fabric seem like an awesome company! I'd love to be surrounded by a group of inquisitive minds!
Absolutely amazing the team you had behind you from start to finish of this adventure,well what can I say. I've got tears in my eyes typing this short message. Fabulous. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍😇😂
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how positive and playful Martyn is?
Mad respect for him.
i love martyn. when he rode again with his friends, i cried manly tears seeing all of them having so much fun.
So did I
same here...
As did I the sense of acheivement and friendship was second to none. I felt proud of them all watching it.
no.
you just cried.
it´s fine. Doesn´t make you "less" of a man.
"manly tears" smh.
Who cutting up onions again. Awesome.
Martyn is such and ispiration to everyone even not on mtb. He can’t move his legs but he still wakes up and loves mtb while a lot of other people would give up 🤘
This. He's an absolute fucking legend.
Sean magee so true
Tru tru
Was a great project to work on. I designed the tooling and made a new bespoke seat insert for Martyn
Wow! That's super cool! Anything not covered in the video that was interesting?
@@bananasstuff3344 yeah a bit on the 3d printed tooling we made for the final seat and some other bits and bobs.
Awesome work!
I would love to have Blake as a friend. He is so incredibly supportive and he has this infectious enthusiasm that shows in how happy he is every time you see him ride with Martyn.
it makes me cry like a baby trying to understand the happiness Martyn must be feeling riding a bike. A real inspiration.
Well done Fabric (and everyone involved), you have given an inspirational man his MTB freedom back!
We need more random tandem, they were the best. ❤️
Definitely! Why not watch them again in the meantime? gmbn.eu/tandemplaylist
With all the craziness that's been going on in the world recently, we really needed a little ray of sunshine to help lift our spirits. So thanks GMBN, and Martyn, for this uplifting moment. :)
One RAD bunch of guys. I always enjoy seeing more with Martyn and his daily life his fight and his new accomplishments.
I love Martyn he's such an inspiration. He proves that you can still do anything even if you have no use of you're legs. Most people would sadly give up but he just keeps going
How amazing it is to see two friends this close and helping one another push the limits! So cool 😎
It makes me happy that we still have people that can create such elegant solutions and be mindful of people with differing abilities. Thank you for making this video. Thumbs up to all concerned. 💙😀
that was heart warming because martyn now has somthing that makes riding for him so much better. Keep going Martin ;)

Fantastic! Can't wait to see more riding from Martyn.

I mean the way he just looks like a completely lost person, surrounded by pros, that really know what their doing, him not having any clue what's happening, but still always having a funny joke.
Just love it😂❤️
huge respect to everyone involved in this project!

It actualy blows my mind just how much work had gone in to this. I'll definitely be looking to purchase a fabric saddle soon! 🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely incredible, really makes me appreciate how easy it is to go to buy a saddle, Martyn is an absolute inspiration, he always pushed the sport anyway, but I would argue he’s pushing it much further now.
Thanks for the kind words :) We're certainly very fortunate to be able to ride bikes, but Martyn is always an inspiration to us 💪
Wow, this is by far one of their best videos!
