Billy Bolt and Jordan Pickford take part in an unconventional World Cup warm-up football challenge
Hard enduro star Billy Bolt and England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford go head-to-head in a football challenge unlike anything seen before inside Everton's new Hill Dickinson Stadium.
What happens when one of Britain's best hard enduro riders meets England's number one goalkeeper inside a brand-new Premier League stadium? Apparently, quite a lot of unconventional goals!
That's the premise behind a new Red Bull film featuring Billy Bolt and Jordan Pickford, which sees the pair take part in a series of football-inspired challenges inside Everton's new Hill Dickinson Stadium on Liverpool's waterfront.
Bringing together two of the North East's most recognisable sporting names, the video pits Newcastle United supporter Bolt against Sunderland fan Pickford. It results in Bolt firing off free kicks at the England and Everton keeper, with a little bit of help from some pressure-pad-triggered football launchers.
The challenge also features football freestylers Jeremy Lynch and Billy Wingrove, better known as Armstrong & Garner, with the quartet taking part in a series of contests designed to blend goalkeeping accuracy with motorcycle riding precision.
Bolt, whose day job normally involves hopping motorcycles over boulders, logs and occasionally opponents, was also unleashed inside one of football's newest stadiums, using Everton's ground as his own personal playground.
Speaking about the stunt, Magpies fan Bolt said:
"It was brilliant teaming up with Everton for this one. We’ve always had that North East rivalry from home, and knowing how much Jordan loves bikes made it even better. It’s not every day you get the chance to ride around Everton’s iconic stadium or take shots against a world-class goalkeeper."
