Theo Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 (edited) Hi there, Thought people would be pleased to hear that trials biking made the news again, there a few pics of me on the bike around the internet but it was on itv and bbc I entered this thing last summer and I had a special assembely at school and all the media were there!! I did the best I could to premote trials biking even though I didnt have any walls, just had to hop around a bit haha. heres some links: my name googled A video of me on the bike bikeradar!!! The best thing I think is the idea of having my design on loads of 50p's across the UK. I think theres 3 million of them going to be published! So following the scary assembely at school I had a full day of interviews with all kinds of radio stations and press. I aslo got a solid gold version of my coin which is the only one in the world! It was an amazing experiance that I will never forget Here are some pics: (im not clipped in to the bike just wearing the clip shoes) haha, had a mountain biking shot just before which I needed the clips for. I might post some more pics when I get them all sent to me. Thanks! Theo Edited February 10, 2010 by Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
