Fantasic!
Imaginate is still my favorite video like this, but this one's really cool too. Martyn Ashton has made some wonderful vids as well, so sad about his injury. I saw a thing on tv recently covering a downhill mtb race where for fun they let Ashton ride the course on an electric mtb with a custom seat he was able to be strapped into. He fell over sideways once, but the crowd immediately set him back upright and on he went.

Amazing he can do all this on something as heavy as a full-sus mtb (with dropper post!). Love to see in the outtakes how it's not as easy as the final cut makes it look.

When he's on top of the rolling haybale, the rear wheel is going backwards, why doesn't that force him to pedal backwards as well? I thought only special bmx axles allowed freewheel in both directions
