Rider completes wheelie around the full Isle of Man TT course
British motorcycle rider Dougie Lampkin pulled the first ever wheelie around the full 37.73-mile Snaefell Mountain Course on the Isle of Man on Sunday.
The circuit plays host to the Isle of Man TT each summer and is revered by motor racing stars from across the Globe.
Red Bull TV streamed the full event live at http://www.redbull.tv/live/AP-1PBETMPFW1W11/dougie-s-wheelie
The stunt was initially scheduled to take place on Saturday, but was postponed one day due to weather.
Lampkin completed the stunt in under two hours averaging speeds between 20-30 mph as the roads were still open to the public. Lampkin's biggest struggle, however, was fighting the windy conditions on the mountainous portion of the circuit in the closing miles. The bike he completed the stunt on was a modified two-stoke Vertigo Combat Ice Hell 300cc.
