Life Beyond Paralysis with Martyn Ashton - The Ride It Out Show // Episode 1 The Rider Resilience Podcast

Who better to launch Rider Resilience's "Ride It Out Show" than the bicycle community's biggest symbol of positivity - Martyn Ashton?
Martyn was a professional trials rider who sadly became paralysed during a show in Silverstone in 2013. As this interview reveals, this injury quickly became the catalyst to trying to find his renewed limits and it wasn't long before Martyn had found alternative ways to get out on two wheels.
Soon enough he was able to regain a lot of the good stuff that comes with riding bikes. Despite the initial elation, some lesser known darker times prevailed and peeling back a layer revealed a chapter of counselling which helped to regain some perspective. Despite the wildly different physical hardships, Nils and Martyn cover a surprising amount of common ground, from our attitude to medication to the effects of our condition on our loved ones.
Thanks to Martyn for taking the time to come on this show - we are forever indebted.
