P.S. Did someone say do you have to pay to watch? Flipping eck!
He had been watching a mate do it for a while and fancied his hand at it. Last year, and they did manage to get a few trophies. This year he is with a different team! The technique is learnt just by keeping the bike balanced. he says no one teaches you the style is just about having the balls. You have to watch there sheer skill on walking all over the bike at corners and jumps. Its just crazy!

as soon as i get the directions to the track ill post em up! But i doubt there can be there many tracks in swanmore?


Im not sure if u pay at every track but u did have to at binstead! 4 quid but kids went free. well worth it tho just to see this in the flesh

Besides, £4 + fuel + can of coke from burger van and I am about a tenner down ... that is fair cash for 3 mins of watching other people having fun on bikes

wow! When you said jump, I didn't think you meant THAT high! Are the bike balance especially then? Surely if one side was heavier it would do a barrel roll??
