Ant + Dec challenge

Just found out that Ant and Dec were a couple of miles away from my house at RAF Sealand today.

They were learning to jump etc with the white helmets motorcycle display team.

If i'd known that, I would have popped down for a look.

It's on TV on Saturday if anyone is interested. Thumbs Up

From local rag:

"ANT AND DEC JOIN THE DAREDEVILS

GEORDIE duo Ant and Dec were donning their leathers today to train with a world famous stunt bike team at RAF Sealand.

The pair were training to ride with the daredevil stunt team the Royal Corps of Signals White Helmets in Deeside today as part of their Saturday Night Takeaway show.
Each week the boys, real names Declan Donnelly and Anthony McPartlin, compete against each other in a special task, and the latest one is to ride with the 30-strong White Helmets team.
They were out filming at RAF Sealand yesterday and today with the Dorset-based team, who today confirmed they were helping the pair with their task.
A spokesman for the White Helmets said: “We are in Deeside at the moment, filming for Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway.
“We have been at RAF Sealand for two days, and filming should be completed by today.”
Viewers this week will see ex-royal butler Paul Burrell, who lives near Wrexham, duped by the comedy pair.
Using clever disguises Ant and Dec conned Paul into going along with an elaborate hoax."

Saw him fall off and that was about it, didn't find out how badly he hurt his wrist. i just hope that he gets the balls to do it again, i thought it was a bit weak them saying that the taller ones attempt was cancelled! he should have shown the little one how to do it! Laughing

Ooo,..I felt for Dec..that tumble would have shaken him up Shocked

Especially so early on in his bike riding days.

I hope he has been bitten by the bikey bug and does continue to some degree....
I think not however.

Ant seemed to have it all pretty much under control.
Born biker Thumbs Up

Blipping the throttle to bring the front wheel up just b4 landing?
How could you possibly time that on the jump they were doing.
Lucky if they were in the air for a fraction of a second.
the pros deffo said when jumping he should give it extra throttle just b4 take off (extra power at the back to make the front light as opposed to constant throttle and just dropping off the ramp front wheel first, like off a kerb).

...can't help feeling sorry for the small one - it was a nasty tumble - but he put on a brave face for the camera. The taller one should have went ahead and done it though ...
