All time awesome. That is pure stoke for being on a bike. The happiness on his face is priceless and I'm not ashamed to say that brought a tear to my eye.
Amazing how a life can change so dramatically in one second. Respect to Martyn, Danny and the rest.
Sick trail as well!

I must be honest - the smile on Martyn's face choked me up a bit! That is so frikken AWESOME!!!!
I remember watching Martyn when I first started riding 19 odd years ago and trying to do the same tricks on my old Kona...didn't work as well...

hells, makes me think of my mate steve who I used to MTB with years ago. he's a quadriplegic following a fall on his bike probably around 10 years ago now.
I wish someday he can get back on a bike.
