Video: Stunt cyclist Martyn Ashton gets back in the saddle, and it’s emotional stuff

Probably the best video you'll see this weekend...

What an absolute champion.

Martyn Ashton, legend of the trials biking scene, suffered a devastating back injury during the filming for Road Bike Party 2 back in 2013.

Ashton was left paralysed from the waist down and was told that he would never walk or ride a bike again.

Until now.

This video shows Ashton and a group of friends – Danny MacAskill, Chris Akrigg and Blake Samson – getting back on track and if it doesn’t turn you into a blubbering wreck of a human being, you need your soul checked out.
