Sparks guide to stunt riding in Great Britain.
You have to be prepared for any weather eventuality when you live in England!

firstly, take 1 large umbrella and 1 roll of gaffa tape.. get a mate to gaffa tape the umbrella to your back!

then get one insanely bright waterproof jacket to protect you from the rains.



Now you are ready to stunt ride, feel free to stop for a cup of tea before riding... good for energy!

The first pics were just as the storm was moving in.... and its really hard to wheely when you can't see where you're going








Then we had a torrential thunder storm and my umbrella snapped, the camera got waterlogged and broke too!



And matt on his WR426 in torrential rain



Matt doing a sparkly gay cow boy hat mr-serious face impression.



All in all, a good fun day, just having a laugh really!! Riding is more fun when it's not too serious

haha no but the first sit down I did.. brought it straight up to BP from an almost dead stop, the wind caught the umbrella so quick and ripped it backwards, stabbing me in the back we re-inforced it with gaffa tape for the next attempt

Cheers mate - was my first day out stunting properly ever - just tring to get the hang of the whole slow thing, and not the big pow-pows on the road.

Think I'm gonna be a regular at last - the bug's finally bitten. :YEAH

Having fun's definitely what stunting's about though - I don't do serious.
