Danny Macaskill and Martin Ashton trials riding in the rain

Even the Pro's fall off from time to time, as this video of Martin Ashton and Danny Macaskill shows. The rain can humble even the best riders.

Even in the rain Two Wheels are Better

Teaching the trials riders of tomorrow

We at 2WB rather liked this admirable video where Martyn Ashton and Danny Mac are teaching trials skills to the talent of tomorrow.

Well done guys, we salute you for teaching the young folks that Two Wheels are Better.

Dougie Lampkin vs Danny Macaskill plus a bit of nostalgia

Sitting with a  mate. in the pub, the other day we started discussing who was the most skilled and famous two wheeled rider in the world.

The biggest issue with this question is; should a rider who is very skilled at one discipline out rank a rider who has great skills across a range of riding styles.  It's a difficult question but, over several beers and a rather fine malt, we narrowed it down to two riders that we feel reflect the best of both.

My vote is for Dougie Lampkin, he is multi skilled and as this video below shows he can ride with and without engine and even without wheels....I believe he is the epitome of why two wheels are better.

My mate however disagrees and reckons that a pure breed single discipline rider is the only way to attain two wheeled perfection.  His candidate is...Danny Macaskill and he cites "Way Back Home" as the ultimate two wheeled movie.

We could decide on no clear winner before last orders so the question remains unresolved. What do you think, who is the god of two wheels?  

One thing we did agree on is that it is neither Charlie Boorman or Ewan McGregor.

We also found this just for a giggle and wish that Channel 5 would bring it back to TV

Remember people that Two Wheels are Better no matter who is riding (even Charlie Boorman).

Been a while but...

This video was so great I thought that it demanded the resurrection of my posting habit.  I have lost the faith recently after a few injuries and mechanical failures but this video from Danny has restored that faith and I now more than ever believe that 2 wheels are better.

As an aside it has also been pointed out to me that if you are a trials enthusiast you will be able to meet and ride with Danny at the Red Bull Streetlight Sessions.

I apologise for loosing the faith and urge you all to remember that Two Wheels are Better.
