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!

Wow what an inspiration. Nothing not even being paralysed will keep him away from his true passion. We can all learn from that!

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.

Lump in my throat stuff!! Watched it last night with my 3 year old. Poor lil' guy got a teary eyed motivational speech of note.

 

Love this. In absolute awe.
