My Wildest Ride Yet! Martyn Ashton Shreds Bike Park Wales

Let's get back to adaptive bike riding basics. I'm going to put this on this. I got all the tools to make this seat fit that spindrift. I've got the finishing touches, so we're going to bolt these on and then throw Martin down the hill. Andy's chainless, so gravity is not enough. No. Official guidelines say that's the one thing you cannot do at a bike park. Now, I'll admit, this is not how people adaptive bike ride these days. The technology has moved on incredible amounts in the last 10 years, but this form of bucket bike riding is amazing for everyone else who's around me because they're really involved. They've got to help me keep momentum and crucially, not fall over. It's going to be a very fun day with everyone trying to keep me going on the bucket. 10 years ago when I started riding adaptive bikes, this was the way you did it. Pretty archaic, but a lot of fun. We put the bucket seat from the Random Tandem on this amazing propane spindrift park AL aluminum. It's an XL, so I've got plenty of space. I've gone with the Dakota Norton bars because I'm pretty cool. There's some really interesting things about the bike that you wouldn't find on your normal runner. As we spun it round, as you can see, there is absolutely no drivetrain. The cranks are put forward so I can get my feet on the pedals, just a little bit like footplates really. Of course, I can't pedal the bike. The whole point of today is how we get down the trail using just gravity alone. They're going to push me off the top and we're going to ride it as far as I can without running out of momentum. Then we're going to have to start being a bit inventive with how we keep the momentum going and that's going to be funny. Ready? One, two, three. Go on, throw my ass. Throw my ass. You want to throw my ass. Yes. He's in. Come on. John, looking at this now, I forgot how terrifying the bucket bike is in a way as a spectator, as a person who's not in it. Well, that's the fun bit. Yes, very excited. It's going to be really funny. I feel sick actually. I like the high bars. I feel proper like Dakota Norton. How are we doing, bud? Oh my God, video this. Do a wheelie. No, John. Doing a sexy wheelie. Oh, it's so close. I like that. These are the people I've got helping me. Come on. Come on. Ready? Three, two, one. Oh, Jesus Christ. This bunch is mouseless. Catch him. Yes. Hey, it's rolling really well. It's really good. I tell you what, it's really quiet. Oh, he's going really fast. Yes, Mark. Send it, Mark, off the drop. That was a lot of breaks then. Oh my God. How are you so close? Into the wedge we go. Into the wedge we go. We got rollers. We got rollers. Into the wedge we go. The back end is so bouncy, it's ridiculous. Oh no, Blake is a hill. This is insane. Look at him go. Yes, boy. Look at him go. Jesus Christ. Yes. Oh, boys. Yes, boys. I feel like we need something more challenging. A little more tech, mate. We need to slow the rebound down. Do you want to do that, mate? Struggling on the rebound a little bit. Or is it just boring? So basically, we're just slowing the rear shock down a bit because it's super bouncy at the moment in non-technical terms, which makes it funny. It's very fun to ride, but it's quite hard to control, and every lip is terrifying. We've slowed it right down. We'll probably go too slow now, and then maybe just have one click back because it'll probably start to pack down as you get to each corner. We'll probably have to do another run to get it just perfect, but Adam's done a little tweak. Careful, Martyn. I know you want to hug. I don't want to hug. I don't want to hug right now. That's how I kiss. Poor Jen. Poor Jen. Three, two, one, go. He's off. I want to try and keep you real close. Where's mine going? You cheeky bugger. You cheeky bugger. Oh, f**k me. Oh, f**k me right in the heart. Martyn. Oh, f**k me. Fingers get out of the way. I can't see. Rick Richard. Rick Richard. No, stop. Stop it. Rick Richard. That was a good one. Oh, my God. I thought you were going to overshoot that then. No hands, dude. I thought you were about to overshoot that. No hands, dude. Fist bumps, high-fives, bumps, ah, bike. I've got you, Martyn. I've got you. Sheepish creep. I've got you. All right, we're going to try something a little bit more tech. It says it here, tech, but it is still a blue. There's some rocks in there that's going to kind of send Martyn a bit offline and a bit tracky, but he's a trials rider at the end of the day, and I'm sure he's got this under wraps. Are you ready for it, Martyn? Really? I thought we were going down that one. No, we're going to go down that one. Why are you in charge? Well, because you always say I need something a bit more spicy, so I went to the curry shop and I got that. The curry shop? The curry shop. I don't even know what's down here. Jesus Christ. Oh, I already hate it. Oh, that's bumpy. This one's bumpier. Oh, my God. Oh, it's rocky. I'll tell you what, it's rocky, Martyn. It's considerably harder, Rich. This is awful. Oh, it's rocky. Oh, my God. I did say it was quite- Okay? Oh, yes, brilliant. How's the high bars? High bar's good. Jesus Christ. I'm trying to show like- New line. Keep your speed. Keep your speed. Oh, it's quite flat. Quite loose. Oh, my God. That was loose. This is terrifying. Oh, Jesus Christ. Oh, yes. Yes, Martyn. That was good. That was a bit of me, that bit. You okay? I can hear so many noises coming out of Martyn. Oh, my God. I haven't got it. You all right? You okay? Do you need- I can't imagine. It's all right. I've got it, I think. I've got it. I've got it. I've got it. Oh, my God. No, did I? No. Send it. Oh, yes, absolutely. No, I didn't need to. I want to try that. I'm coming for it. Oh, my God. Noses. Keep it going, I think. Keep going? Yes, let's see if I can do it. Keep going. Keep going. Oh, my God, Martyn. I couldn't do it. Oh, Jesus. You can't just stop. I did. You just stopped and hoped someone would be there. Well, I presumed you would. Yes? Oh, yes. Not one that I would recommend doing. I won the last one I did. You should do Leo again. You won any World Cups? I won for a million. What's the time going to be? He does it by five. Three. Let's in. Oh, my God. They're going so fast. I didn't think they'd be going this fast. Come on, come on, Mike. Nice wiggling, Mart. Shake it. Here we go. This bit's cool. Yeah, mini whips from Mart. Oh, man, a stick just hit me in the eye so hard. Oh, really? Oh, my God. What's that? Oh, God, it hurts so bad. What have you done? Just a stick on a tree branch just smacked me in the eye. That was well good again. Some pace down there now. I've seen a few little whips on jumps and stuff. There's one little bit that totally fits. Yeah, it's really good. The little kick kind of makes the shape. That's perfect, dude. Yeah, good. Here we go. Down the bumpy one. Oh, man, it's so quiet and there's no one else here with me. Oh, my God, it's so quiet. Oh, this is so good fun. Right, race you. I'll race you. You say yes as you're falling over. Yeah, it's like, yeah, I'm crashing. That's it. Ready? Yes. Sling the old back end over if you can. That's fun, that last bit. I had a couple of moments, oh, no. Oh, this is the wrong edge. Before we all get in this group hug. Oh, come on. I had such a lovely day. Come on, Mark, bring your sandwich. Lean in. Good job. Yeah, lovely. That was really fun. Oh, God, we didn't do this very well, Blake. This is our worst one. You didn't, I did. No, you didn't. You were dreadful. I did my bit. Oh, catching Blake. Oh, yes. Oh, Mark, where was that going? Oh, I don't know. That was a bit of a new line. Oh, hey, Mark. It's coming. All right, Mark? Adam, that was mental. That actually kicked so far. You all right, buddy? Oh, Adam. Nice. Go, Mark. I got it. Yeah, you sure? Yeah. I got you, I got you. I seen it, I seen it. I seen you, buddy. Got it? Cheers, lads. That was super fun. Well done. Well, what an incredible time to stop. We actually did a little surprise one. Yeah, bonus. A little surprise. Norcal, Norcal. We had to push you all the way to the end because it kind of goes up. I thought you nearly toppled. I was scared, but what an incredible day. Thanks, Mark. Thankfully, you guys caught me every time I run out of momentum. Oh, the rocky bit was sick as well. Shall we go back up to the rocks and just have another session? Shall we? Yeah, shall we? Actually, we're going to end this video. I'm going to have one more go at them rocks because that was fun. Hello, and welcome to Mountains of Chest. This is my nostril. Got it? I'm not confident he has. I'm squeezing with my legs harder than I'm squeezing. So is Blake. So am I. Oh, wow. I feel left out. I'm squeezing. I'm squeezing too. Is that annoying? A little bit. It's actually an expression of science, this. It's like gravity. You are the apple. I just have a t-shirt saying I'm the apple. Yeah, I'm the apple. Yeah, apple on the front, kick me on the back. Can we stop talking and go mountain biking? Come on. We've backed off the low-speed rebound because what we're finding, the high-speed was already round all the way off. So yeah, just backed off. Hopefully, it's a little bit more controllable off these limbs. A little bit. That's what I just said. Still going to be a rabbit. I reckon you're a fly. I just said. Ah, you're a ba-doink-a-doink. There you go. I sound like a flamingo. Not a flamingo. Duken. I would like at least madras. That's very hot, isn't it? I'm a korma guy. Oh my God. Would you like a butter chicken, sir?
