It's here and it's epic (more epic than the guy catching his wife cheating).

Martyn was partially paralysed doing a demo at the Silverstone Moto GP so the video was never completed. Huge respect to him and hope he has a continued recovery.

Hopefully it'll embed, but if not can someone do the honours, ta.

That is just next level, didn't think the first one could be one upped. Way too bad about his accident though.

That road is so steep too, horrendous to cycle up. Also bouldered and climbed on those rocks at around 1.55 /Claim

i should like this but i dont, it just pisses me off, i mean good for them and everything, but like i consider myself a pretty damn good biker all around, but im nowhere near as capable on my much more suitable DJ and mtn bike as they are on a freaking road bike. i feel hopeless now.

If you ride trials on a trials bike, you're a pussy.

Neither do trials bikes. It's more impressive considering the modern carbon wheelsets and frames are pretty weak when it comes to impact.

That being said, I would do dirty things for a colnago, especially one with discs.

Yeah I was just waiting to see one of those rims explode. I'm just shy of shocked that they could handle that style of riding. Really cool concept and an even cooler video.

I would think the over all geometry difference between a roadbike and a trial bike would be the biggest difference. on a road bike your so forward and on a trial bike you're so up.

Looked like Cow and Calf and Shipley Glen.

I'd imagine that road Danny is on, is on Skye maybe?

Craziest biking I've seen in a long time. I was half expecting them to just sprint off and join a race half way through haha.

Why? Just why? Thats like skiing park on pow skis but dumber. Making things harder on yourself for no reason, makes no sense. I get the whole "challenge yourself" idea and thats it's more difficult but why not be even better on purpose built equipment? If you are riding for fun it's one thing but when you are sponsored and do something professionally it just seems dumb to me.




This does not apply to Meeks, he fucking slays.

Chuuuch
