Billed as
the world’s best stunt riders, the team is led by Jack Challoner and Martin
Crosswaite, who between them have won multiple British, European and world
trials championships.
Their show
includes 15ft jumps up vertical walls, amazing ‘drop offs’ and a range of
freestyle tricks, some of which can only be attempted by a handful of riders
throughout the world.
Show
organiser Harry Edwards, who is out of hospital and recovering well after a
bike accident, said: “These guys are a must-see, but LlanBikeFest 15 will be a
real family event with something for everyone, not just bike fans.”
Attractions
will include live bands, a vintage funfair, face-painting for kids of all ages
by Glitterbugz and the opportunity to meet and handle some beautiful birds of
prey with Rockcliffe Raptors.
The show
will be opened on Saturday, August 1 by seven-times TT winner Mick Grant and
Carl ‘Foggy’ Fogarty MBE, (pictured above) the most successful World Superbike (WSB) racer of
all time.
On Sunday,
August 2, more than 100 classic trials machines will compete in a stage of the
Northern British Bike Pre-65 Trials Championship (NBBC).
All of the
bikes are at least 50 years old and will be ridden on the Llangollen Pavilion
show site from 11 am to 2pm, as part of a championship round hosted by
Llangollen and District Motorcycle Club.
The
Llangollen site has previously hosted successful bike shows – the last in 2011
– but LlanBikeFest 15 is being organised by a new team of local motorcycle
enthusiasts, led by Harry Edwards.
