The tandem videos are by far the best parts of the family of channels ... and this one will be hard to beat. You can't help but fall in love with the genuine connection between Martyn and Danny which made for an emotional and hilarious film. The fear in Danny's face was only trumped by the smiles and shrieks of enjoyment in Martyns. Just beautiful. Well done to everyone involved. Can't wait for the next one Martyn! ❤ It's a SUPER NICE!
That bike is a great interview platform. Loved it. Riding stoker requires a lot of trust in Martyn's judgement and skill. I can see this becoming a "must do interview" for all the MTB greats out there. More please.
Have no idea who would give a thumbs down. This is truly one of the best things on the net at the moment. Full of inspiration, love, guts! and motivation. Love this series. Can't wait for who's next.
Martyn is such an inspiration to live your life to the fullest. He lives everyday the best he can and doesn't let his disability hinder him... #LEGEND Danny is a legend as well for doing this.
Aaah man this video is rad! I feel like getting the shit scared out of Danny really brought out his true personality. Nice to know his other side as well. Danny has done a lot of crazy stuff in his life, but he was always in control. The random tandem wasn't as crazy, but you could see and hear that it's something he hasn't experienced before. Thanks for the Awesome content GMBN!
My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE mountain bike video. Martyn and Danny giggling and laughing like kids. It's why I love riding with my friends. We are all in our late 50's, and we sound just like this when we are riding new territory! Keep up the great work and stay positive!
Hahahahaha this is THE BEST!! I enjoyed this video so much. Congratulations to all involved - it’s monumental to get Martin back on a bike, having so much fun with old mates. You can really see how genuine his and Danny’s laughter is. Can’t wait for the next one, but I think I’ll watch this a few more times, first. ;)
Oh my, this is amazing! You guys are absolute legends. Watching Martyn having some silly fun on a bike is just a super powerful feeling. And Danny...well, everything has been said by other people already - we all love Danny!!! This is so inspiring. Still recovering from my rib fracture, but this made me so itchy to get my feet on pedals again. I can't wait. Keep doing what you're doing guys, you are the best!
The best thing with the Random Tandem Videos is to see how much fun Martyn is having while riding. He is enjoying every single second and is pushing it harder and harder.
My favorite videos are of Martyn riding. And adding the tandem, tears of joy and laughter come to me watching the passion come out in the videos. Can't wait for the next one!
This video is just ace. Martyn Ashton continues to be an absolute legend & his positivity is just infectious, I can't help but smile all the way through this video. Getting Danny on as a guest was just inspired, not often you see him scared, but he genuinely looked terrified a few times.
This is genius. My kids are asking why I am sitting watching with the biggest smile on my face. The joy you are expressing is the most beautiful thing. 🙏
Massive MASSIVE amount of respect for Martyn. He was my inspiration to get into trials in the first place and his single page was the sole reason I bought MBUK each month, for years. I don’t mind admitting that he’s caused me to shed tears a couple of times! Firstly when I heard about his accident and secondly when I saw the first video of him back on a bike again. Also have a huge amount of respect for Danny too. After life got in the way for me, I didn’t ride for years and so Danny was my second inspiration to get back into biking again! He’s also introduced me to some awesome bands with the extraordinary tune choices on his videos. These random tandems are brilliant, so good to see Martyn out enjoying himself on bikes once more..... there’s no bloody way I’d get on it with him though!! Keep it up GMBN!
What is brilliant about random tandem and Martyn is that it perfectly sums up mtb. An individual sport but its our mates pulling us through that makes it totally awesome.
If there is anybody that deserves an awesome day out on the mountain bike, it's you Martin, the Ambassador for mountain Bikers across the world! Well done!!
These videos make me so happy. I love seeing martyn on the bike and scaring the crap out of some of the best riders on the planet. Keep them coming great job guys.
This is a great segment!! To see Martyn’s shear enjoyment is awesome. To see the shear fear of no control from the passenger is priceless. Keep them coming!
Loved this! Forcing world class riders to ride without brakes or steering, and without a clear view, is a kind of psychological torture/therapy - very entertaining! Great banter, always refreshing to hear a top rider say what they AREN'T good at. Also thought it encapsulated Danny Mac that he decided to push the boundaries and try standing on the saddle/bars. Random Tandem is an absolutely genius idea!
There is something special about this series, it can't be denied. The extraordinary effort that goes on behind the scenes is also appreciated. It reminds you of what it means to be human.
That was brilliant. Fun, awesome and inspiring all round. The 31 people who have disliked this video need to take a long hard look at their life and reflect really hard.
OMG!!!!! Worth the wait. This series is the best. The contrast between martyn and Danny’s face. One wide eyed with enjoyment/excitement the other wide eyed with complete fear. Brilliant guys so much fun smiled all the way thru. Keep it up love it
What a fantastic pair or riders. Danny does a video pretending to have a baby in a trailer and she laughs all the way. So Martyn does a video with Danny on the back just to show him what it's really like. 😂
The best part of this little series is without a doubt the look of enjoyment on Martyns face 😂 he's like a kid in a sweet shop!! It's amazing to watch 🤘🏻🤘🏻
what a huge inspiration martyn is, i still have a signed poster from him at birmingham nec bike show back from years ago at my parents, his positivity is truly incredible!
#askGMBN Hi, could you do a behind the scenes video on how you make the videos. Show what gear you use and how you go about making these videos every day. It would be really interesting especially as the quality in the last year has been great. Keep up all the great work. Thanks.
Wow, just wow. Seeing Danny litterally scared while Martyn is smiling like a child at christmas, pure magic. Very interesting to hear Danny on jumps, I feel the same! Keep up the good work guys!
Martyn, I absolutely love this whole concept. Your bike is a brilliant piece of adaptive technology and I'm so glad that you're able to still pursue, and realize, your cycling goals. My daughter and I tandemed a lot when she was younger - it was the perfect adaptation for her disability. You've taken it to the next level! And just in case you didn't know, it is terrifying being the stoker no matter what the situation - I think she is way braver than me, to ride back there all those years. Hope to see many more adventures of The Random Tandem!
I have never smiled so much watching an mtb video as i have with these tandem series. Awesome job GMBN TEAM and Martyn Ashton, you are simply Awe inspiring and plain AWESOME! Thank you.
Amazing group of people... Teaches one about the things in life that are the most important. Friends, love, laughter... every person involved in this. I couldn't help but smile the whole video.
These have to be some of my favorite videos on all of RUclips. The whole team seems to be having so much fun with it and you get a pro interview to boot!
You’re still an absolute legend Martyn! I used to have a blue Cannondale hardtail that I had stickered up with Volvo decals just like your Beast of the East and I would try and fail various moves from Tricks N Stunts etc 😂 You autographed a shirt for me at one of th me Bike shows in Birmingham and it was my pride and joy for the longest time
I totally love the random tandem. This is what bikes are about, having fun outside with your mates. I can only imagine the fear of riding with Marty though. I think about riding passenger in a car where I have a gas pedal, but my friend has the wheel and the brakes... Sounds terrifying!
This is an awesome series. Brings the awesomeness of MTB riding to extreme example, sharing good times with buds and jaw jacking. Its also an awesome interview format. Interviewer and interviewee have to form a connection. And the tandem concept is absolutely inspired.
This is just the best series ever. GMBN could just be two videos a week, a random tandem and a dirt shed show. My Dad is a Blind Stoker, if you bring the rig to Australia I'm sure he'd love a go!
Who do you want to see hanging onto the back of the tandem next?
Global Mountain Bike Network Sam pilgrim
sam pilgrim
It can only be Blake of course....what a comedy combo that would be!
Rachel atherton
Rachel atherton
At 4:33 did anyone else notice the cameraman falling over?😂
Maybe he was trying to stay out of the shot, such a professional :P
Halo LegendZz 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yep, nice dive.
😂
What a flipping awesome day hanging with Martyn!! 😂 You can definitely see the fear in my eyes though haha!! 👀
Good man Danny you legend!
haha, thanks for being involved! Did you manage to find some phone signal? 🤔
The tandem videos are by far the best parts of the family of channels ... and this one will be hard to beat. You can't help but fall in love with the genuine connection between Martyn and Danny which made for an emotional and hilarious film. The fear in Danny's face was only trumped by the smiles and shrieks of enjoyment in Martyns. Just beautiful. Well done to everyone involved.
Can't wait for the next one Martyn! ❤
It's a SUPER NICE!
The funny thing is Danny, you didn't flinch when you trashed the cameraman. You were obviously focusing on staying alive.
I thought it was awesome, a rare clip of fear in Danny's eyes. Martyn giggling down trail,two trial legends on a tandem. Amazing videos people!
4:34 I hope your camera man's knees are ok 🤣🤣🤣
And the camera
Josh Starr omg I was laughing so much lol
To be a camera man ist very dangerous. It is more safety to be on the bike
It's also in the out-takes at 19:10. I'm sure they wouldn't have included it if he'd hurt himself.
Hey Josh, yea he was ok thanks! 🤣
4:33 in the background
I guess we don't talk about that
It's in the outtakes at the end...
19:11
pay attention!
So awesome! You da man Mart!
@4:33 when the camera dude falls over though! 😂🤣😂
Looks like he trips over the berm and bounces off a tree!
You know it's real when Danny MacAskill calls out "...brake, brake brake!"
This series is genius! Whoever thought up the bike and concept should get a medal for their services to MTB
A pedal medal😂
It was all Martyn's genius plan! 🤘👊
Global Mountain Bike Network I knew it!!! Just imagining what the turning circle is like on that bad boy is terrifying enough though fr
@@gmbn You cant keep a good man down, and you cant keep an absolute legend off a bike...
Can we get Sam pilgrim on the random tandem???
Yes!
Oh, that's got to happen! 👍👍👍
Yesssss
Yeees!! Sam would be pedalling all the time lmao
Would love it but he'd probably kill Martin! 🤣
i start crying when see that Martyn enjoys the rush of mountain biking and such a positive dude. He has so good friends. Thumbs up to all Gmbn crew 👍❤
Thanks! 👍
They need to add some brake levers on the back handlebars just to scare the person riding on the back when they dont do anything
This is brilliant 🔥
Will S u cruel bastard 😂😂😈
Fake levers :)
A moment of silence for the real MVP the Camera Man, taking an arrow to the knee.
I used to be a ripper like you, then I took a crash arrow in the knee.
😂
Rad interview! That steep section must have been pretty scary for both of you 🤘👊
EMBN vs Light Dirt Bike. Why should we get a EMTB over a dirt bike? broom broom.
Lets get an emtb vs a downhill bike at whistler
That bike is a great interview platform. Loved it. Riding stoker requires a lot of trust in Martyn's judgement and skill. I can see this becoming a "must do interview" for all the MTB greats out there. More please.
Love the random on a tandom vids. It sums up mountain biking to me, mates on bikes having a laugh and chatting about life.
That's what it's all about! 🤘
Have no idea who would give a thumbs down. This is truly one of the best things on the net at the moment. Full of inspiration, love, guts! and motivation. Love this series. Can't wait for who's next.
You guys are awesome! Learned a lot about Danny.
cant belevie i was your 1st like
Martin dude your amazing.. Love the laughter plus you have some great mates. To have fun in the woods with.. So positive and forward facing.. Hero
Or. Though that is fun and liberating... Try n think of something funny next time lol
Martyn is such an inspiration to live your life to the fullest. He lives everyday the best he can and doesn't let his disability hinder him... #LEGEND
Danny is a legend as well for doing this.
Aaah man this video is rad! I feel like getting the shit scared out of Danny really brought out his true personality. Nice to know his other side as well.
Danny has done a lot of crazy stuff in his life, but he was always in control. The random tandem wasn't as crazy, but you could see and hear that it's something he hasn't experienced before.

Thanks Steve! Yea, that was awesome he agreed to send that roll-in!
My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE mountain bike video. Martyn and Danny giggling and laughing like kids. It's why I love riding with my friends. We are all in our late 50's, and we sound just like this when we are riding new territory! Keep up the great work and stay positive!
Finally!!! This is the one I've been dying to see! Thanks GMBN ❤❤
We're stoked he was happy to get involved!
Random Tandem is one of the best ideas GMBN has had!
Hahahahaha this is THE BEST!! I enjoyed this video so much. Congratulations to all involved - it’s monumental to get Martin back on a bike, having so much fun with old mates. You can really see how genuine his and Danny’s laughter is. Can’t wait for the next one, but I think I’ll watch this a few more times, first. ;)
Thanks Jessica, tell your friends if you think they will be stoked on it! 👍It's also on our Facebook and will be on IGTV 😀
Great to see Martyn back on a bike.
It's amazing how humble the mtb community is!
🙏🏻😭💙
Oh my, this is amazing! You guys are absolute legends. Watching Martyn having some silly fun on a bike is just a super powerful feeling. And Danny...well, everything has been said by other people already - we all love Danny!!! This is so inspiring. Still recovering from my rib fracture, but this made me so itchy to get my feet on pedals again. I can't wait. Keep doing what you're doing guys, you are the best!
How long before we can nominate Random Tandem for being the craziest and fun talk/skit show in sports media, or elsewhere?
Asking for a friend. 😁
Word 🍻
The best thing with the Random Tandem Videos is to see how much fun Martyn is having while riding. He is enjoying every single second and is pushing it harder and harder.
Can you put the guy in the background falling at 4 minutes 33 secs on this weeks fails and bails please
I hope they do
Dude thats a great idea would love to know the behind the scenes of that fall bring him from behind the to in front of the cam haha
YOU LEGENDS 😂🤘🏼
Twenty minutes of soul baring trust & honesty. Ashton and Danny are both inspirations.
Loving the camera mans face as he realises that he had probably just been cought on camera while falling.
My favorite videos are of Martyn riding. And adding the tandem, tears of joy and laughter come to me watching the passion come out in the videos. Can't wait for the next one!
Peaty needs to get on this bike with Martyn!!!
Peaty for the Random Tandem!!
This video is just ace. Martyn Ashton continues to be an absolute legend & his positivity is just infectious, I can't help but smile all the way through this video. Getting Danny on as a guest was just inspired, not often you see him scared, but he genuinely looked terrified a few times.
who are the 63 pricks who gave this a thumbs down?!?!?!?! you CANNOT watch this and NOT have a smile on your face...
This is genius. My kids are asking why I am sitting watching with the biggest smile on my face. The joy you are expressing is the most beautiful thing. 🙏
Watching this had me smiling from ear to ear. Thank you for such a brilliantly inspiring video.
Rad to hear Peter! Getting people stoked on MTB is our mission! 🤘👊

We think we scared him! 🤣

Good one Martyn two legends on the same Random Tandem great fun.
If there is anybody that deserves an awesome day out on the mountain bike, it's you Martin, the Ambassador for mountain Bikers across the world! Well done!!
This is heading towards RANDOM RAMPAGE TANDEM
These videos make me so happy. I love seeing martyn on the bike and scaring the crap out of some of the best riders on the planet. Keep them coming great job guys.
Thanks Ben! 👍👊
Who down votes this?? This is fantastic to see, having fun on a bike is all it should be about. Bloody brilliant, legends!
This is a great segment!! To see Martyn’s shear enjoyment is awesome. To see the shear fear of no control from the passenger is priceless. Keep them coming!
4:33 what hapend there!?
😂😂🤣
Ellrik Eriksson there*
19:11
This is by far one of the best I've seen. The joy on Martyn's face on that downhill but, priceless .
".. On you've been framed" 😂 😂 would like to see Dan Lloyd on the back next, scare the life out of him. 😂
Loved this! Forcing world class riders to ride without brakes or steering, and without a clear view, is a kind of psychological torture/therapy - very entertaining! Great banter, always refreshing to hear a top rider say what they AREN'T good at. Also thought it encapsulated Danny Mac that he decided to push the boundaries and try standing on the saddle/bars.

Lol that guy falling in the back of the camera
🤣
There is something special about this series, it can't be denied. The extraordinary effort that goes on behind the scenes is also appreciated. It reminds you of what it means to be human.
Shrieks of terror from Danny, giggles of sadistic pleasure from Martyn...😂😂😂
He really does have sadistic tendencies 😅
Makes me feel just ahh! My heart just melts seeing Martyn on a bike honestly doesn’t get better than that!
That was brilliant. Fun, awesome and inspiring all round. The 31 people who have disliked this video need to take a long hard look at their life and reflect really hard.
OMG!!!!! Worth the wait. This series is the best. The contrast between martyn and Danny’s face. One wide eyed with enjoyment/excitement the other wide eyed with complete fear. Brilliant guys so much fun smiled all the way thru. Keep it up love it
Next person has to be Sam Pilgrim!
The interview parts are fantastic, the riding is fantastic. Really great video. You can't watch Martyn on a bike and not smile.
Thanks! 🤟
I kinda want to see Gee Atherton or Loic Bruni on this
and they'll do it on the hard line hahahaha i know its impossible.
This is probably the best series on the channel right now... entertaining, inspiring , emotional.. funny (mostly funny).. top stuff well done lads.
What a fantastic pair or riders.
Danny does a video pretending to have a baby in a trailer and she laughs all the way. So Martyn does a video with Danny on the back just to show him what it's really like. 😂
Kim Miller fair game mate 😂🤙🏽
The best part of this little series is without a doubt the look of enjoyment on Martyns face 😂 he's like a kid in a sweet shop!! It's amazing to watch 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I think it would be really interesting how gmbn video's are made, like a bts how a video is made start to finish
The laughs and smiles says it all in this video ! Keep those friends close my friend , they are truly something special !
Danny said an Olympian... imagine if it’s Sir Chris Hoy 😂
There'll be no shortage of leg power for the climbs! He's a beast!
Never heard of him
Dude, smell my helmet he used be race velodrome
He'd be brilliant I reckon.
Dude, smell my helmet he’s won more Olympic golds than you’ve had women.
what a huge inspiration martyn is, i still have a signed poster from him at birmingham nec bike show back from years ago at my parents, his positivity is truly incredible!
#askGMBN Hi, could you do a behind the scenes video on how you make the videos. Show what gear you use and how you go about making these videos every day. It would be really interesting especially as the quality in the last year has been great.
Keep up all the great work. Thanks.
Wow, just wow. Seeing Danny litterally scared while Martyn is smiling like a child at christmas, pure magic. Very interesting to hear Danny on jumps, I feel the same! Keep up the good work guys!
Bang on the money. What is that bike capable off. Insane well gone Danny MacAskill and Martin Ashton. We are not worthy!
Martyn, I absolutely love this whole concept. Your bike is a brilliant piece of adaptive technology and I'm so glad that you're able to still pursue, and realize, your cycling goals. My daughter and I tandemed a lot when she was younger - it was the perfect adaptation for her disability. You've taken it to the next level! And just in case you didn't know, it is terrifying being the stoker no matter what the situation - I think she is way braver than me, to ride back there all those years. Hope to see many more adventures of The Random Tandem!
You need to build a 3 seater bike and ride with Chris Akrigg and Danny
You can tell the sincerity in Martyn’s laugh. He’s truly loving every second of this ride and interview. Well done!
Can you do a bike check on this bike?
Think Doddy is going to do one over on the GMBN Tech channel soon so keep an eye out 👍👀
@@gmbn oh nice
Good call!
awesomeness!!! thank you Martyn and Danny.
Aren't they just two of the nicest possible people you could wish to meet? One of the best GMBN videos yet.
I have never smiled so much watching an mtb video as i have with these tandem series. Awesome job GMBN TEAM and Martyn Ashton, you are simply Awe inspiring and plain AWESOME! Thank you.
Two very humble men. It is great to see you had and still have such an inspiration on Danny 's career and riding Martyn. Keep on shredding.
That was awesome. Well done everyone!
This is my favorite series that GMBN has done yet. Fun and inspiring. Keep the random tandem rolling!
Two absolute legends and absolutely brilliant guys on a tandem, I really enjoyed that, thank you.
Amazing group of people... Teaches one about the things in life that are the most important. Friends, love, laughter... every person involved in this. I couldn't help but smile the whole video.
This is the world's best chat show format, I bloody love it!
Thanks Scott! 🤘
Best Random Tandem so far Awesome video !!!!!!!
Martyn you are one of my heroes. Your attitude is amazing. Just love these.
Crazy, hilarious, and heartfelt - plus a candid Q&A with Danny MacAskill! Mad love and respect for you Martin Ashton
These have to be some of my favorite videos on all of RUclips. The whole team seems to be having so much fun with it and you get a pro interview to boot!
This is the best series on GMBN. Great to see such positive and entertaining content on RUclips. Great work by all involved
Two of the all time greats. Awesome video! Way to keep it real.
You’re still an absolute legend Martyn! I used to have a blue Cannondale hardtail that I had stickered up with Volvo decals just like your Beast of the East and I would try and fail various moves from Tricks N Stunts etc 😂 You autographed a shirt for me at one of th me Bike shows in Birmingham and it was my pride and joy for the longest time
The joy for Martin when Danny was standing up on the back is magic!
Really enjoyed this. Danny Mac is a legend, was lucky enough to chat to him at the Red Bull air Races and he was totally charming.
I totally love the random tandem. This is what bikes are about, having fun outside with your mates. I can only imagine the fear of riding with Marty though. I think about riding passenger in a car where I have a gas pedal, but my friend has the wheel and the brakes... Sounds terrifying!
Martyn, you're friends are real solid dudes. I love seeing you guys ride together.
Seeing Martyn with a smile on his face riding a bike always brightens my day, keep shredding dude!
Martyn I think you are the only human ever to scare Danny with ANYTHING bike related!!!! lolllll great video GNBN love it!!!
These random tandem's are the greatest thing on RUclips!
This is an awesome series. Brings the awesomeness of MTB riding to extreme example, sharing good times with buds and jaw jacking. Its also an awesome interview format. Interviewer and interviewee have to form a connection. And the tandem concept is absolutely inspired.
8:13 That look of genuine fear on Danny's face :-) Best content on GMBN - thank you all for the effort.
What a blast - fantastic - I loved every second of it - thanks guys!
This is just the best series ever.
GMBN could just be two videos a week, a random tandem and a dirt shed show.
My Dad is a Blind Stoker, if you bring the rig to Australia I'm sure he'd love a go!
