Showed my son, he said " You should learn to do that Dad"
What an awesome bid, he's got the skills!!!
Wish I had.
The wheels are our 5.0 Carbon Clinchers. They're all hand built in our factory in Barnoldswick. The only two things special about Martyn's wheels were the rim stickers and the green colour on the hubs. I must admit we expected him to damage a wheel, but they're still fine.
Love the wall of death, and I thought velodromes were scarey.
I cross that bridge (at ground level) every day. A fall either way could easily have been fatal. Kahunas!

Nice riding.
Not so impressed by the clip at the end showing - in true tragic tour podium girl style - that cycling is for men, and women are there to service the men. After the olympic successes in women's cycling, well done for dragging your gender back a few years ladies. Maybe one day you'll get your own bikes.

Ashton=Legend, WD40=Problems!
Use oil for oiling, cleaner for cleaning and keep the WD40 for hinges and padlocks.
