Amazing stunt riding...on a carbon road bike
It's not every day that you see a carbon road bike being used as a stunt machine -- hopping over boulders at the beach and styling it up at the skate park.
British trials legend Martyn Ashton does just that and more in his latest video, The BikeRadar Roadie.
The clip sees Mountain Biking Hall of Fame member Ashton hit the tarmac on his carbon Raleigh Avanti Team on his way to the UK's premier bike festival, BikeRadar Live -- which took place on 10-11 July.

My favorite kind of story! Steve Howard's Redman
Here is a note from one of our friends and customers, Steve Howard, about his Redman experience. Redman is a full length triathlon (2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, and 26.2 mile run) held in Oklahoma. Steve is one of our local athletes, from just down the road in Broussard.
Mark and Edie,
Here are a couple pictures taken at the Redman - in case you would like to post on you sites as a follow-up. The clock in the photograph shows finish time as 15 hrs 33 min and 51 seconds.
Thanks for all you help - The Brooks running shoes that I purchased from "Geaux Run" worked out really well. My time for 26.2 miles on hoof was 7 hrs and 3 min. Not bad for 6 weeks run training after purchase of shoes (ran 5 miles twice a week - 1 hour run sessions). I think that says a lot for yours and Edie's excellent fit you did in the Brooks running shoes.
For the Redman I finished 30 minutes under my personal goal of 16 hours and I finished the triathlon injury free.
Edie and Mark, Thanks for all you help!
Official Redman stats are attached.
Best regards - Steve Howard
I love success stories like these. This is why we opened the store. I think it was Steve's effort and determination that got him to the finish line more than anything else, but I sure am honored to be even a small part of his day!
Thanks to Steve for sharing his story with us!
Amazing!!
