Despite suffering serious life changing injuries back in 2013, Martyn Ashton remains one of the biggest names in UK mountain biking. Following a huge career in MTB Trials, the former British and World Champion moved into video creation, pulling unbelievable trials maneuvers on a road bike in the renowned Road Bike Party edits. Ashton then went on to become arguably the most popular presenter on GMBN.

For his new touring show, Bike Party, run in conjunction with Speakers from the Edge, Ashton tells his story from his early days as a trials rider to where he is today. The UK tour begins in early next month, see below for dates and venues, but dates are selling out very quickly. For more info, see speakersfromtheedge.com
