Video: Fat lad freestyle

Big-boned MCN reporter Tony Hoare went to Norfolk on Feb 8 to try to learn how to perform a back-flip on a mini-bike with the Bolddog Lings freestyle stunt team.

Watch the video clips (below) to see how he got on.

One shows him cracking the technique on a BMX pedal bike.

Another shows him managing to get a minibike to flip – it’s just staying on it that proves to be a problem.

And a final one has our Tony explaining what it’s like to try this stuff

Tony had no previous experience of this kind of thing or pretence to be any kind of stunt god. Find out the full story of how he got on in MCN – out on Wednesday February 16, 2005.
