Good work Ashton! When you visit eastern Idaho, we have a small town at the center of two amazing rail to trail cycling paths. It's Ashton, Idaho. We named it after you before you arrived!
The Ashton-Tetonia Trail opened to the public in 2010 and is administered by the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation and managed through Harriman State Park. This 29.6 mile trail follows the abandoned railroad grade of the Teton Valley Branch of the Union Pacific Railroad from Ashton to Tetonia.
Hilarious! But in all seriousness I am always in awe and emotional whenever Martyn takes on a new challenge. The back on track, random tandem, Whistler and now this. You are a true inspiration and an absolute legend Martyn Ashton. The result does not matter, you reached the finish line with a huge smile on your face and that is an accomplishment in and of itself.
This reminds me of one of my races at leguna. I had some glucose tablets for the last quarter lap for the little boost. And my father was in charge of the nutrition. Instead of giving me a glucose tablet he gave me an electrolyte tablet that fizzles in water. It didn't end well. Had some crazy burps.
well, i just finished my first XC race and...i thought i had it rough but then i saw you had Blake and well....i realize now how wonderful my experience truly was.
The love between Blake and Martyn is amazing! Even when his race is being destroyed by Blake, Martyn cannot do anything other than smile at the craziness. Legends.
Before the video starts I just wanna say that it has been so long since the last time Martyn shredded. I'm so hyped for this! 7:31 Now I know where that thumbnail came from. Oh...OH...it wasn't just that. Martyn should get to be Blake's nutritionist next time, he deserves that chance to pay back Blake. 🤣🤣
We're a MTB family and we laughed our butts off. This deserves an award. Our 7-year- old got the jokes and shouts "nutrition" all around the house now! And huge props to Martyn. He is such an inspiration. Finishing a race while filming a comedy skit with cake in his face and everything. 😂 Thank you GMBN for all your wonderful content. We love the mixture of educational and comedy videos. You guys are the best.
that's not what I expected from such a serious and professional content provider at the pinnacle of performance! That was hilarious, entertaining, inspirational and educational all in one. Do you know how many times I "omg" during this video???? well done everyone..... especially Martyn!
I rarely LOL at anything... I am a very serious person. I did however LOL at this. My family came into the room to make sure I was okay. Very well done. Also a hat tip to whoever did the editing. As good as I've seen on YT
This had the comedic genius of one of Ashton's earlier films "the art of bi-king" how this man hasn't one an Oscar yet is beyond me. Best short film about an athlete with a spinal injury racing a hand bike,making his pro comeback that I've ever seen! (Granted it's the ONLY film of that nature I've ever seen,but still...) Great work boys!
I am just elated to see this duo shredding at Sea Otter, crying with laughter. Marytn smashing it with a podium finish is just more icing on his sweet beard.
I have never laughed so much in a long time. You guys made my day!!! I think Blake should just stick to the biking and let someone else handle the nutrition. 😅
You lads are mad! This is one of the greatest videos to hit the channel. But I really do want to say it’s awesome to see martyn rocking the adaptive bike. I want to show this to a kiddo I work with that has been coming to grips with his own physical disability. Very inspiring work boys!
I've laughed so much through this, what a video. Something different and just pure comedy but in all seriousness Martyn Ashton what a man top effort on that race.
Outstanding entertainment guys, great fun and both my wife and I laughed out loud at a couple of bits. Both of you played your parts well - kudos to Martyn for sucking that treatment up 🤣
🤣🤣🤣 what an ace video Martyn and Blake so funny together Disregarding the outstanding nutritional side of it (well done Blake 👊😂) Martyn taking part in that race was awesome and all through it Martyn was smiling and it looked tough and even with a flat tyre! What an inspirational rider you are Martyn 👊🤘 Awesome content #GMBN 👊🤘
Blake said it best, “Martyn is a trooper.” For sure! Pushing that thing through on a flat! All the while suffocating in whipped cream. Haven’t laughed that hard in a while. Congratulations.
Even after Blake annouced it, the nut throwing got me bad. Almost choked on my breakfast 😂 Martyn angrily throwing them back was the nail in the coffin "were they great?"...I died 😂
I'm always in awe of Martyn such an inspirational bloke.. as for the the vid i had tears rolling down my face from laughing.. I wonder how many people caught the 'where they great' line when he threw the Frosties at Blake.
Wow well done martin 👏🏼 👍🏼 👌🏼 what a achievement mate nice to have blake there for support and the jokes lmao whipped cream 🤣 that bit had me howling havent even finished the video yet 🤣
Although I think the pair of you are slightly unhinged this episode was the best I have ever seen from you guys. Such laughs don't come along often enough, but the two of you together and hay presto laughs all the way through. A great double act that is up there with the best of all time. 👍
That was a really tough ride--no joke! INCREDIBLE effort Martyn--well done! I thought Blake's food choices were...interesting. LoL This was a fantastic video. Thanks guys!
Okay I watch all I can of your guys videos and even pass them on through my bicycle shop. But this is my first time I laughed and cried and cheering outload for the Hand Cranked racer. (Hand Crank may be a different meaning in your country) but it means Using your hands to pedal here in the State. Back to my point of writing is to say. Very Cool right on for showing him you wont treat him special just because he pedals differently then most of us and has to for a reason. I Laughed because I know he was surprised you would treat him that way and yes it was funny. I cried because I know you guys bring out the best in peoples ability's and Why should I say poor me because my body is not in shape enough to ride these days. But I am fired up to enjoy almost 60 this year, After watching this video. Thank you for the push.
There should be a super like button. This is the best content I've seen in a long time. I laughed through most of this! Holy s*. So many funny one liners. The pistachios! Whipped cream has salt!
The funniest video since the Halloween Triathlon nightmare one! Imagine completing the race with the puncture and that "nutritionist " Sugar,sugar, and carbohydrates! That's how I do it, but most of the cakes make it to the stomach. Throwing the pistachios was nuts! Good effort overall.
That's going down as one of the greatest races ever, no one ever gets to celebrate with last place and you guys made it so cool and epically funny as only Martyn and Blake could do. Perhaps a custard tart next race Martyn. Honestly though you looked like you were putting in a massive effort and still having all the fun! Legend Mr. Ashton, absolute legend! 😎👍(Blake could work on his pie and cake delivery for the next race) 😋.
Exactly! Sometimes racing is all about just enjoying the experience and having loads of fun along the way! We agree Blake could do a better job at food delivery next time! 😂
We know you’re not winning, Martyn. But we know YOU ARE WINNING! Awesome work, mate! ….wouldn’t be surprised one bit if you suddenly get up and “kicked” your nutritionists ass 😅
This was great! True MTB life. The one guy who trains and takes it serous. The friend that wings it and provides you with maybe not so great advice🤪. Make more please...
I felt like I had to cringe my way through this, just to look out for Martyn, but "It's your birthday, don't cry, but you can if you want to" omfg 🤣🤣🤣🤣
