It wasn’t too long ago that we brought you the news that the Isle of Man TT circuit had a new record etched in its history books, but not one for speed necessarily…
Yes that’s right, I’m talking about Dougie ‘The Wheelie King’Â Â Lampkin and the ridiculous feat of endurance that was lapping the entire TT circuit on the back wheel of his trials bike.
Now when you’re a twelve-time World Champion like Dougie, you get to a point where you start looking for a new kind of challenge. I’m not sure where the idea came from, but you’ve got to admit he’d definitely set himself a challenge and a half when it comes to pulling a wheelie around all 59.5km (37 miles) of the iconic Isle of Man TT course without putting the front wheel down once.
Now a couple of months on from the monumental, and most importantly successful effort, we have been treated to a full documentary on the effort thanks to the team at RedBull.
Check it out in it’s full 45minutes of glory HERE.
