Todays Adventure....... "On Yer Bike"!!

The weather here today was fantastic (for a change) so off we went to New Brighton to see the Wirral show which was on all weekend. I was expecting a lot more than there actually was so I was a little bit disappointed, until I saw these guys......Basically 3 nutcases doing bike stunts, they had a ramp set up for take off and a landing ramp which was on the top of a truck!! They obviously had their brains removed before fitting their helmets (Sounds like me when I had my bike :-))

The first 2 pictures don't really show the scale of what these guys were doing because I wanted reasonably detailed close-ups but here's one that kind of puts things into perspective
This guy is still on the way UP!! they at this point added a car on top of the truck landing ramp which you can just see the edge of on the right, these guys got some serious height on these jumps.

Other than these guys and hot dogs with onions there wasn't really a lot that turned me on BUT for the big kids there was a funfair, step up Daredevil Macky and cue Mission Impossible theme tune...

"I want to go on that one"!! "The one that throws you around in the air upside down whilst doing 360 degree spins at 100 miles per hour, 150feet off the ground " "I'll get in the Q" :-)

Now those of you that know me or have read past posts know that there is no power on earth that's going to get me on that thing so guess who's going it alone....
This is a closeup of Macky hurtling toward the ground at light speed about to be turned upside down (That reminds me, I must get her life insurance sorted). The Strange girl next to her looks about to throw up.......

So she finally gets off the ride from hell and her first comment? "Lets do that again" :-)

I think not! move along, until, "I want to go on that one" "That one that spins you round on every imaginable axis until you vomit" Here we go again......

This one actually looks like a giant blender gone wrong, The person who designed this ride must have strange dreams but "Off We Go"

On a good note, it seems Daniel has inherited my dislike of heights :-) a very undervalued characteristic in my opinion which will hopefully keep him out of danger in the future. He did tackle the aeroplane flight and the Ski Jump though......

And that was the story of the day, not too exiting but hey, what else are you gonna do on a Sunday :-)

The Woodvale Rally is coming up soon and I'm really looking forward to it. It's a show of classic and modern cars & motorbikes, all manner of military vehicles, an air show with the Royal Air Force and Navy and also model plane exhibitions, plus all the usual stalls and stands, should be great fun :-) Of course I'll be taking my camera.
