When Martyn Ashton takes a £10k carbon road bike that won the Tour de France for a spin, he sees no reason to stick to the road, or anything even remotely resembling one.
From the wing of plane to the top of a bridge, Ashton pushes the limits of what one thought possible on two wheels.” via Who said a road bike needs a road? – Holy Kaw!.

I’m impressed by excellence in any form and this is no exception. Rarely do you see such mastery over the physical world. Having said that, now I want to see the outtakes — I’m fairly positive this wasn’t done without a single mishap… :-D

even it had been done without mishap, which I agree with you would be surprising, the rider had to try and try again, failing just a bit less than succeeding, in order to be able to achieve this. That is no small accomplishment. and, let’s not forget to give credit when credit is due, the video is also remarkable.
