White Air 2008: Teenage Thrill Seekers (podcast)
Friday, 10th October, 2008 at 1:14 pm, Isle of Wight
Near the end of the White Air Extreme Sports Festival, held last month in Yaverland, three young thrill seekers thought they’d get involved and have a go at something extreme.
Full of confidence (and obviously very little fear) they asked the compere working the skate ramps whether they could stand on the middle ramp whilst some of the world’s greatest mountain-boarders jumped over them.
They must have had great trust in the mountain-boarders, because within minutes the three kids were standing on the ramps getting into position.
It all went off without a hitch and after their hearts started beating at a normal pace again, we caught up with Tom, Dan and Ruth to find out their motivations.
