Road Bike Party 2 - Martyn Ashton (& friends)

Do you remember Road Bike Party 1?.....Road Bike Party 2 is here! Martyn Ashton, Danny MacAskill and Chris Akrigg take you on a new journey with a new bike in RBP 2.

RBP2 has incredible stunts and amazing tricks all completed on a £15,000 Colnago C59 Disc. It can only be done in Road Bike Party 2! Lycra-clad trials legend Martyn Ashton's first Road Bike Party was a YouTube sensation, so a sequel HAD to be made, bigger and better than before! Martyn was in the middle of filming when his life was transformed by an accident during a trials display which has left him paralysed from the waist down. Courage, determination and great friends have helped Martyn to complete his vision for Road Bike Party 2.


Road Bike Party 2 features special guest appearances from two trials riding and YouTube legends, and music from Catfish and the Bottlemen with "Rango" (http://gcn.eu/1gVfrB5) and Capella.

In the words of Mr Ashton, "Party on"!

No bikes were harmed in the making of this film.

Martyn Ashton - Road Bike Party

This video is one of the most incredible videos that we have never seen, amazing tricks with a road bike, this is his story:

Martyn Ashton takes the £10k carbon road bike used by Team Sky's Bradley Wiggins & Mark Cavendish for a ride with a difference. With a plan to push the limits of road biking as far as his lycra legs would dare, Martyn looked to get his ultimate ride out of the awesome Pinarello Dogma 2. This bike won the 2012 Tour de France - surely it deserves a Road Bike Party!

Shot in various locations around the UK and featuring music from 'Sound of Guns'. Road Bike Party captures some of the toughest stunts ever pulled on a carbon road bike.
