The rider’s name was Seth Enslow and in that single moment he became the coolest rider in the world.Rumours had been going around for months about this insane new bike video out of the States, and I’d finally got my hands on a bootleg copy. I simply

(“British coppers go mad in Europe”, that kind of thing) and watched a video of last year’s event. It looked fast and right up my street. Doing 100mph down small country roads strewn with gravel and lined with large oak trees racing against the clock

Six European countries in six days

Head to Europe, sample 16% beer and jump out of a plane wearing a dodgy parachute. All in a week's work for our intrepid adventurer Johnny Cantlie

The Ramp
By John Cantlie on 22/10/2010 16:19:05
Surely there's never been a more insane idea than freestyle motocross
my doing. Alex and myself have done any number of off-road features in the past for various bike mags - it's something we've both always loved - but this is different. Freestyle motocross. Nac-nacs. Heel Clickers. Candy Bars. Confused? Don't be - all
