Few bobs worth of boats at Beccles Jack, you would have to have a few bob in your pocket to buy one of them mate.Â
Looking at the old mountain biking skills on the second vid made me think, I'm wondering how often he has to buy a new bike. If it was me it would be after each event if I was still alive to ride one!
I would think most are hired.
How many times has he fallen off. I came off two months ago and I still have a sore arm
I could,nt ride a bike until I was 35, as a bin lid could never afford one, later tried to ride a motorbike but fell off so gave that up, so pillion for me, crap on two wheels. Summat ta do wi balance in mi brain? Strange tho cos a allus excelled at gymnastics n cud allus walk on mi german bands much further than a cud keep upright on a bike. Then a mate at the gym loaned me a bike, so practiced till I finally mastered it n realised worrad bin missin n broke mi bollox ta mek up fer lost time so fer 30 years med it part o mi trainin routine tacklin some brill hill climbs in the Dark Peak. Winnats Pass Castleton, n Sutton Bank in North Yorkshire, two particular ball breakers, especially if tha keeps thi arse on the saddle all the way ta the top!
Not many hills in my area still managing to get up two small climbs without getting off

The bike I had was a Elswick Sports I bought from Poundstretchers for 60 ackers, just ad 5 gears and had a big climbing cog fitted. Served me well for 30 years and still in good condition when I gave it to one of mi grandsons.
