Joyride is the remarkable story of former World Champion Trials Cyclist, Martyn Ashton, paralysed while at the top of his sport. Martyn believes we possess an inner strength to cope with any challenge. Joyride reveals the strategies of an athlete, husband, father who faced one of life’s greatest challenges and still blazed a trail.
Joyride is the empowering story of the inspirational, iconic former World Champion Trials Cyclist and pioneering paraplegic, Martyn Ashton. Beginning with his life-altering accident, it follows Martyn as he discovers the power in facing one of the worst things one can imagine and realising he can take it.

Including conversations with legendary trials rider Danny MacAskill and others, Joyride explores Martyn's ability to cope with previously unimaginable physical and mental health challenges.

Martyn believes we all possess an inner strength that we can call upon when we need it most and shares his strategies for finding that strength. For a man who describes himself as 'unremarkable', Martyn approaches each stage of rehabilitation with remarkable humility, humour and positivity.

He blazes a trail as the first paraplegic to get back on two wheels, creates film content that attracts millions of views and is a motivational speaker, TV presenter, husband and father. This is his story... when life turns upside down, ride on...
