Dear Santa


Can I have a trials bike just like Dougie Lampkin's, please?

While watching this brand new film a few things occurred to me.

1. I like Dougie Lampkin. 12 x World champion Yorkshireman.
2. This is a better advert for trials bikes than it is for 'energy' drinks.
3. This looks a lot like Danny MacAskill's films. Then the credits rolled and it's made by Stu Thomson, the director of many of the MacAskill films.
4. I like Finland.
5. And huskies.
6. I've never met a Finn I didn't like.
7. I have no idea what make his bike is, but it looks great with black rims.
8. That song is somewhat repetitive. G

UPDATE: Click it onto big screen and choose HD (if your internet is up to it) on the little icons in the corner.

  1. I agree with all that except N°2, the best advert for trials would be the bbc bringing back Kickstart/Junior Kickstart. Bloody Marvellous!

  4. +1 for Kickstart but only if Peter Purves commentates and they use proper trials bikes with seats and strictly no lycra.

  6. I wonder if the Huskies are thinking 'ok mate, now trying doing it on a Greeves Scottish'.

  7. It's not the bike it's the rider! Put him on anything and he'd be brilliant

  8. Of course he's brilliant (no prizes for that) but that wasn't my point.
