    Quite fancy the £10 service :)
    Is this for real I am a bit sceptical about the backflip out of the bunker looks a bit false
    Martyn is a fantastic rider so could be true

    That is how I imagine my ride to work goes. Or used to when I had a road(ish) bike.

    I know. I was going to post a video of me doing that kind of stuff, but decided it isn't cool.

    Infact, it is rather sad.

    Well I thought it was cool. Props to Martyn. That said, no- one should ever wear those shorts... what has been seen cannot be unseen :shock:

    loved it, bar the quality of the jumps it reminded me of years ago (ahem, prob 18) playing on an old golf course in Northampton - fantastic fun on my old rigid marin pine mountain

    Thought it was impressive.

    What would be good to see, would be the same guy/bike going round a typical trail center as fast as he could, would genuinely be interested to see how it would fair.

    He's a pro trials rider, has been for more years than I can remember. Why do you want to see him ride a trail centre?

    I think he means more along the lines of he wants to see how well one of those Dogmas can cope with being battered round a trail centre pilotted by someone who knows how to ride.

    Would certainly put an end to the "Will I die if I go to Llandegla without my 100ft travel DH bike?" threads.

    Correct CWNT. A cyclo cross would be fine too, just would be interesting.
