FROM THE SCOOTER RIDER
How long has the Animal Sports Tour been running? The tour has been evolving for 11 years so has lots of heritage! Who’s in the team? Blake Samson, James Jones, Ryan McNamara and James Thorne, plus special guests. Where has the Animal Tour travelled to? Favourites include the F1, MotoGP, Sweden, Singapore and of course the London Bike Show! What’s been the most daring stunt pulled? The Backflip-Tailwhips that both James and Blake attempt are bonkers. And the silliest? A 360 Backflip is yet to be
landed...maybe at the LBS?! What skills do the riders need to attempt such trickery? Experience, practice and lots of self-belief. To anyone wanting to get started, what advice do you have? Search out local riding spots and go enjoy yourself! Where’s next for the Tour? After the London Bike Show we are at Silverstone for the World Endurance Championships.
