MARTYN ASHTON

Former British and World Champion mountain bike trials rider and stunt rider, and still the Guinness World Record holder for the highest stationary jump on a mountain bike, Martyn shot to even greater prominence with his online videos, the Road Bike Party series (34m combined views), where he performed incredible stunts on a road bike

Despite an accident in 2013 which left him paralysed, Martyn retains a high-profile presence in mountain biking, is a leading presenter for the Global Mountain Bike Network (GMBN) and continues to find ways to enjoy mountain biking and look for amazing experiences to break boundaries as a wheelchair user.
