Dougie's Wheelie – 5th anniversary – Live Coverage

Re–watch live footage of Dougie’s record-breaking wheelie Sunday 25th September 2016 remains etched heavily in the memory of former multi-World Champion and Red Bull athlete Dougie Lampkin, who on this day in history became the first rider to ever wheelie the entire 37.7 miles of the Isle of Man Mountain TT course. Tomorrow marks the fifth anniversary of this amazing record, and even half a decade later no one has attempted to emulate Dougie’s incredible feat let alone come close to matching it. Broadcast live on Red Bull TV on that historic day, the unfolding story as Dougie faced one challenge after another gripped the nation, with viewers reporting that they were unable to tear themselves away from their screens as they followed Lampkin’s progress whilst literally sat on the edge of their seats. Oncoming traffic, high winds and fatigue meant the outcome was never certain at any point, with Dougie forced to wheelie the last few hundred metres stuck in a lower gear such was the risk of upsetting his balance again with the finish line in sight. Utter relief immediately gave way to fist pumping mayhem as Lampkin realised the sheer scale of his achievement when he crossed the line, importantly still on one wheel.
