An empty field and a beaten-up moped. It's how most of us first began our love affair with biking and a rite of passage we will never forget. TWO celebrates the cult of the fieldbike
AND MULTIPLE WORLD RECORD HOLDERThere was a piece of ground in the Sefton area of Liverpool called the Piggeries. It was mental. I rode my Yamaha DT125 there when I was 13 and that's where I learned to wheelie and control a bike - superb training!JAMIE WHITHAM

15 years ago when VHS ruled the world, a team of renegade dirt racers were inventing impossible new tricks that changed biking forever. They rode hard, crashed like hell and got it all down on film. They were the Crusty Demons of Dirt…
anytime soon. The original Crusty Demon is going for a World Record jump attempt on March 29th where he hopes to clear more than 300ft. There’s a little more finesse these days than with the Enslow of old, it would seem. “Right now I’m putting down
