Tomm Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 I remember seeing that on TV, and then tuning the next week only to find some shite about about a wheelbarrow assault course (and no riding). Ha. Anyway, good work. Pretty good claim to fame I'd say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Not sure about Daryl and Fraz. Last I heard Daryl was expecting a knock on the door from the Polis for speeding in Edinburgh with no MOT, insurance, license etc and then providing false details!! However, last time I contacted him was when I saw he'd bought a Monty on eBay so he's still about. Fraz signed up on here last year sometime but don't think he ever posted. I emailed him a while back and he's working for some advertising company I think. He'd got himself a 24" I think and was trying to get back into riding too. I heard about it through an MBUK email list thing and thought 'what the hell' and entered. They even paid for our flights down . I think there were about 100 riders there each day (there were 3 trials shows, I was on the first).Presenter was pretty fit to be fair, but Daley Thompson?! Legend! Edit: That's Fraz but yeah he never posted.Edit2: And Daryl maintained that his crash was completely deliberate because he knew he wouldn't be able to do the first bit!Thanks for the reply man.I'd love to see the other shows! Just for Ashtons "mong face"Did you win a prize? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted April 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Did you win a prize?£2.5k... not bad for a minute and a half's riding! Still kick myself that I should've won the full £5k but it was a crazy, crazy day and I really shouldn't complain!Was gonna point out Danny at the start but thought I'd see if anyone recognised him! You look so young! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So who one the 5k then?The winner of each program went on to a weird game thing at the end where you used a mallet to hit foam blacks out from the bottom of a stack, you had to keep the stack standing and the final one was worth 5k. I went all numpty and messed up the 5k one. Martyn Ashton got the 5k but can't remember who else... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-Stop Junkie Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 I did record them all onto DVD when Challenge was repeating them way back when...
