    That's absolute sacrilege. I mean what does he think he's doing bouncing around having fun on a road bike. He should just cop himself on and concentrate on going fast on straight roads and waxing his legs etc

    Quite so! Reckless behaviour like this should not be encouraged. I intend to write a strongly-worded letter of complaint to the individuals involved.

    Fair play to him! He's no Danny Mcaskil but if he can all that on the drops, just imagine what he's like on a trials bike! And a bloody backflip, I've done a few of those in my MTB days but never on purpose.

    I didn't realise it's Martyn Ashton on the road bike! Any old school MTB'r know whatever happened to the other Martin Hawyes?
