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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=94&v=kX_hn3Xf90g
