My Take
Trials riding is one of the most underrated tests of nerve in motorsport, and Lampkin is the man who first made me appreciate it. Seven outdoor world titles and a spot as the second most successful trials rider in history is staggering, especially in a discipline decided by millimetres of balance rather than raw speed. An MBE in 2001 and FIM Legend status in 2012 only confirm the obsession behind the results. I have endless respect for athletes who master something this quietly insane, picking a bike up cliffs without ever touching a foot down. Pure controlled madness, and I love it.
