Pics and vid: Animal Relentless Bike Tour and Danny MacAskill
After an amazing three days of two-wheeled fun at
The Animal Relentless Bike Tour is a stunt show featuring the best trials riders, dirt jumpers and freeriders in the UK. The team regularly invite special guests to show off their moves too - guest riders at BikeRadar Live included The Clan team rider Danny MacAskill (you may have seen that YouTube vid by now), dirt jump star Sam Pilgrim and Santa Cruz Syndicate rider Jamie Goldman.
Highlights from the Animal Relentless boys included UK trials legend Martyn Ashton performing the ‘Leap of Faith’ – balancing one wheel on an inch-wide piece of metal suspended about seven foot in the air, and hopping a six foot gap onto another inch-wide piece of metal.
Meanwhile, Sam Pilgrim showed off some of his characteristic dirt jump moves including front flips, back flips and the odd back flip no-handed tuck.
“It was an honour for me to be in that show with both Sam Pilgrim
and Danny MacAskill, and looking at the famous faces in the crowd (Peaty, Minnaar,
Hans Rey,
“The really important thing that the festival had, that I think only BikeRadar Live can hope to achieve, was a sense of common cause. Top pro riders and first-time competitors mingled happily into the wee small hours each night, all talking, drinking and laughing about their common love – riding bikes.”

Thousands of people flocked to see the riders at the Animal Relentless Bike Tour
The crowds were out in force to watch Danny MacAskill perform on Sunday, and he ended the final show of the Animal Relentless Bike Tour with a very special move. To see more pictures from the show, scroll down.
