Europe's best stunt riders set to thrill at South West Motorcycle Show - 28th - 29th August
STUNTBIKE FOOTBALL is to be one of the main attractions expected to draw crowds later this month at this year's European Stuntbike Championships, held in Exeter on 28-29th August.
The event, which runs in conjunction with the South West Motorcycle Show, will see Europe's finest stuntbike riders competing for a £7000 prize fund.
Check the BBC's footage of the UK's stuntbike soccer team in training at Bruntingthorpe Circuit as they prepare to take on the best of the rest of the world.
BBC reporter Mike Bushell has a go at the sport on a small-capacity paddock bike. Someone should have told him to do his lid up properly first!
