Ashton Martin breaks





It’s never easy to write about a serious injury but this one is especially tough as Martyn Ashton is a rider that has been inspiring riders for what seems like forever.

During a demo at the Moto GP on the 1st of September Martyn fell backwards from a 3m high bar landing with “significant force” on his back. After being stabilised he was airlifted to Coventry Hospital where it was discovered he suffered severe damage to his spinal cord and dislocated his T9 and T10 vertabrae.

The initial prognosis isn’t good as Martyn has currently lost feeling below the point of injury. Having been transferred to RJ & AH Hospital, Oswestry’s Specialist Spinal Care Unit he is receiving the best possible care.

Ashton’s long standing riding partner from Tricks and Stunts and Chainspotting Martin Hawyes has been with Martyn through this tough start to a long road of recovery. Martyn thanked everyone for the support he has received so far:

Since the accident I’ve received so many wonderful messages and well wishes, I can’t thank everyone enough for those – it has been hugely supportive. I’m also incredibly lucky to have amazing family and friends, who are all rallying around myself, Lisa and Alfie and helping us through this tough time. As a result I’m feeling very positive and ready to face the tough challenge ahead. I’m just taking it day by day, hoping that I can make enough progress over the next three months to be home for Christmas.

Martyn was almost finished shooting the sequel to his hugely successful Road Bike Party video, we’ve heard on the grapevine that he is already working in ways to finish the edit so watch this space.

Everyone here at Dirt wishes Martyn the best recovery possible and we’re looking forward to what he has up his sleeve for Road Bike Party 2. For now lets have a look at the first and most creative road bike video we have ever seen.

Ayer por la noche me enviò un mensaje jose de galo diciendo que las dos cannondales con lefty , la jekill 500 y la rush.

Llevè el R5 hasta elche y aunque parece mentira caben las dos bicis en la trasera del coche. Sòlo hay que quitarle la rueda delantera. Lo primero se afloja la mordaza del freno y luego se afloja el eje. Para èstas dos operaciones se usa una llave allen del 5 . Una vez en casa hay que montarla con la operaciòn inversa.

La jekill tenìa el cierre trasero que resbalaba y hubo que cambiar el eje y el cierre, tambièn el disco trasero que estaba alabeado . La rush fuè puesta a punto, hubo que purgar del freno trasero,y tambièn las pastillas de freno trasero.

Por la tarde saquè a pasear la jekill y estuve haciendo senderos de gloria por todo el clot, durante una hora y media. Recorrì los senderos personales que habìa recorrido anteriormente.
