Radio DJ Attempts to Become World BMX Champion.

[stu70]

Don't know if anybody caught this on Absolute Radio this morning, Christian O'Connell has been doing a bit on trying to complete a "to do" list he wrote in 1986 as 13 year old, which was a list of things he wanted to achieve before he was 40, things like play subbuteo with Bryan Robson or have a Bugsy Malone splurge gun fight, one was also to become British or World BMX champion, now approaching 40 he's trying to complete the list, video shows his effort at Runnymede BMX track yesterday. Worth a look

I feel good watching this. I am ever so slightly better than Christian O'Connell

i contacted them about this beforehand and even managed to sort out spens Ammacco 202 for Christian to ride (it was what he had as a kid) but didn't hear anything back from them 


thanks though Spen for letting me borrow the 202 if needed

I feel confident I would also be better than Daniel O'Donnell.

Like the way he was told off for throwing the bike down.. And the over 45 champ fella, he looked a bit like scorcher mick with his helmet on

As Radio DJ's go

Chris Evans did  better when he was on with Liam Phillips the other year ,, and he;s a fair bit older too

It does look like my old Redline, I sold it last year at Andover track. Cant be to many yellow Redline cruisers around
