Sonia!!!:smiley:

I wonder if she played her Trumpet?:cool:

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhh I missed it cos I was watching Eastenders… Mark read the time wrong, the knob! :smiley:

Bugger i missed it also.

A bit more of a heads up would have been nice, hopefully they will repeat it, well it is the BBC after all:)

Repeated at 1.15am BBC3 :smiley:

Just watched it on iplayer

Hats off to Mark, i sure hope he gets the sponsorship he rightly deserves.

just watched it on i player, that was spot on.

Sparky seems a good bloke and deserves all the success.

wot got me though he went round prob big companys at the nec including H*nda and it seems no 1 put there hands in their pockets except that bloke from Knox, So good on him too and its a shame on the other tight fisted gits.

Too right, real nice bloke, was down the Ace in the snow when he was being filmed :stuck_out_tongue:

just watched that on the ip, was actually quit moved by some it, good luck to the fella

I was there also, i was looking in the carpark for my bike but didn’t see it in the film:P

That got me as well, he was only asking for £1500 which must be small change to the likes of Honda!!! Well done to the guy at Knox :slight_smile:

Sparky does seem like a top bloke, very good father too, well done to him and I hope he goes far :smiley:

very good program,was ther same night even got me bike in shot…he is a nice bloke,he bought terrys bike back when he had an accident last year,good on him:)

I watched it on Iplayer last night too and thought he came accross really well. I know he was in 2 minds about going ahead with the filming in case he came accross incorrectly but the BBC did a good job in the short space of time they had.

I did spot myself in it, very briefly in the background.

Well done Sparky and I hope you get what you want and deserve :slight_smile:

very moving!- I hope he gets the sponsorship he justly deserves

I just watched this and I have to say he seems like a top bloke, great role model for his kids and I wish him all the best for success in the future! :smiley:

All credit to Geoff at Knox for putting up the money to sponsor him for the Latvian trip, oh and I spotted Mike, M9 Performance, right at the beginning of the film, still think Natalie Cassidy is an irritating tart though! :wink:

I’ve just watched it on V+. As others have said, it’s a shame the big companies at NEC weren’t prepared to help him, big up Knox:)

I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting Sparky but the film comes across very well. Top fella and a great dad:cool:

Top Fella :cool:

He’s allways helpful with stunting tips and bike set up advice, brought my bike back whilst I went to hospital last year.

Hope he gets sponsership and I wish him well, he’s a diamond :slight_smile:

i took this a couple of years ago at the urban street fest , top bloke and nice to chat toit was pissing with rain too

Just watched this too on iplayer, what a great story, really moving.
