In which Martyn Ashton wins the entire Internet (with help from Danny MacAskill and Chris Akrigg).

The film that has everyone talking this week is the superb follow up to Road Bike Party, from legendary rider Martyn Ashton. With the help of Chris Akrigg and Danny MacAskill he has finished the film that he was working on this year before being paralysed by a crash during a trials demonstration:

It's a powerful video given the circumstances, as emotional as it is purely stunning, with references to Akrigg and MacAskill's big videos working as a tribute to Ashton as he's unable to finish the film. The GCN interview with Martyn that goes with it is well worth a read as well for the story of how it got finished.
