Title: Radio DJ Attempts to Become World BMX Champion.
Post by: stu70 on February 01, 2013, 11:02 AM: 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 :)

Post by: pickle on February 01, 2013, 12:29 PM: 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 :4_17_5:
