I never really got into trials but watching kick-start as a kid in the 70s on mainstream TV will always be 1 of my all time TV happy memories
I remember watching Dougie on junior kickstart in the 80s loved that show really cool sport imo
Absolute legend of a guy - such a talent yet so down to earth and decent. The country needs more of his type! 👏
As a 14y/o wobbling round on a TL125 then a TY I idolised his dad Martin. Along with all the great trials riders of the time. Took the day off work to travel up to Yorkshire for his funeral. I sat on the wall outside the church but plucked up the courage to venture closer. I’m glad I did now absolute legendary family in the trials world 🏆
You're so right Pete,they are legend's,and not only great ambassadors for the sport,but also for this country.
Not forgetting Arthur
@@georgemalkin6546 ......And Alan!
A lovely man. I've had the pleasure of watching him compete and several occasions. What a star and what a rider. But, perhaps more importantly what a nice, modest and easy to speak to chap. We saw him riding the Trial Urbain de Cahors and spent some time with him and Martin before the event started. Just nice folks.
What an absolute legend, could listen to him talking trials all day. Also, his Trial and Error book is an amazing read👍🏻
Nicest, family in the world.. Hope the lampkin name lives forever
Dougie lampkin a living legend 🙌
What a legend! I loved the comment from his dad "You can't wheelie to the end of my drive!!!"
Great interview, Taylor. Thank you.
And thank you for letting your subject talk. So many interviewers seem to like the sound of their own voice too much, or try to rush the subject along. You just let the interview develop. Well done for that!
Been watching Dougie as far back as "World Of Sport" with Dickie Davies, watched him evolve from extremely good to Master of his craft, cool Vlog Taylor.
Did a bit of trialing on a BSA Bantam back in the early 70s and remember his Dad, Martin being about and was a guy we looked to emulate. I was never any good and the Bantam was so unreliable. Didnt have the money when at school to get a proper bike. Then discovered beer and girls and that was the trials career over :) Was always popping in to see Barry Rogers in his shop in the Derby and admiring the Bultaco's etc . Sammy Miller was riding his Hondas back then also.
Great Man with Great Skills...... We just need more of it on Telly... Bring back "Grandstand" and "World of Sport"....... There is more in the World than Football ........ So many good Sports that need a showcase.....Murray Walker on Rally Cross...."The best thing about being in the lead is that he can see where he is going........ Ohhh He has Crashed".... All time Classic..... Come on Taylor use you influence ... :-)))
Great comment
@@Ukmongoose3 Thank you.... It is true that there are many sports that need help... :-))
Amen. There’s so much more out there than football. World of Sports back in the day was brilliant.
@@paulkeogh3518 There is a "World of Sports" out there... :-))
Whenever I see Dougie's name I hear the 'Junior Kickstart' music ;-)
Trials = the lampkins they will always be true legends of the sport.
What a Top Guy Dougie is. Absolute legend And gentleman 💪🤙
I loved kickstart as a kid and never missed an episode. I followed Dougie more so than his dad before him but both very talented riders.Dougie was unbeatable for long periods during his career.
Dougie is an absolute legend. As a child id watch his videos on VHS then go out on the weekend on an ancient ty80 and fall over in the mud. Grew up riding trials at Halnacker windmill near Goodwood.
Brilliant! I think that's the most relaxed I've ever seen Dougie in an interview, great that you just gently encouraged him to talk, thanks Taylor.
Bought a 2001 Montesa/HRC 315r because of Dougie Lampkin 🥇
Had the same bike lovely frame great engine really trick for that era ✊🏻
2yrs my junior, whilst you did trials I did grass track but never missed an episode of kickstart. Always been a Legend and inspiration to me Dougie, great to see you still getting a leg over 👍
That was a quick 20 minutes.
Nice to have your vlogs back Taylor.
What a legend Dougie lampkin✊️
I used to LOVE watching Dougie. Trials was never my thing (NOWHERE near good enough) but I loved watching "kickstart" on TV and that grew to watching Dougie as much as I could. Masterful trials rider.
Your best interview yet Taylor.
Taylor, thanks for interview with a true legend and allround nice guy. I'll always remember watching Dougie and his father during a championship trials round at Hawkstone Park.
I love your videos Taylor, interviews are so natural, can see the love of bikes and respect you have, makes an interesting watch always. Cheers nice one. 😊
Brilliant video TMac great to watch
The best video I've seen you doing, Dougie is such a nice guy and fair play to you for having a go!
Great interview!
Hope you do a video behind the scenes at the indoor. When Dougie was a kid on his 125 Beta I remember his front wheel looking like a threepenny bit. Riding at the Flappit, the good old days.
Brilliant Taylor! Great plan to interview Dougie, a true legend like his dad. (who i watched on my first trial back in the day clean a section everyone else had bombed, he just flew up the section on a totally different line to everyone else, wow)
Well done lads, always a pleasure watching Dougie.
Really enjoyed great interview and with humour
Really interesting . More like this please!
you got my respect Taylor and the interview was fantastic
i Knew of Dougie Lampkin but to hear his stories from a personal and relaxed view was really interesting
thanks
Fantastic interview. Learned a lot. Thank you.
Fantastic interview. Two very humble guys. Very informative, falling out of love of racing is soo hard
What a legend!
Another great vid Taylor 😎😎😎🙌
That was time well spent, great interview of an absolute legend
I fell out of love with trials riding after bouncing the family jewels off the handle bars of a Beta 250 (bought from Dougie's shop) It still brings a tear to the eyes, just thinking about it.
What a fantastic career 👍🏻
Bloody nice bloke too!
Dougie was the ultimate rider on the old, heavy bikes.
Top bloke is Dougie. 👍👍🏆🇬🇧💥
Great interview with King Doug 🫡
Great interview
What a great interview.
Ace video, good to see other disciplines on the channel. Speedway next?
I remember watching Dougie on the TV show kick-start back in the 80s. I always wanted to do this but never had the chance
trials is easy the best form of training for any form of two wheeled sport imo
great interview. ta
I remember watching Dougie on TV when I was a youngster, and whenever Trials was on TV, he was the one to watch.
I used to think he was a magician on a bike, now I realise he is a Wizard. 👍🏿
Thought that was bloody brilliant.👍
Legend and a top bloke
Fantastic video! If you make it to the indoor trials, I hope you get to video some of the action & behind the scenes! 👍😻✌️
Really enjoyed this, great work Taylor.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Went out Trials riding one day with Jock Taylor, World Sidecar Champion, who Taylor was named after. Nice guy too.
I remember watching Dougie when i was a kid on a program called Kick Start . Could always tell he was built from different stuff than the rest . Legend
Legend grow up watching Dougie
The man....the legend.
Dougie has always been an absolute gentleman.
Cool vlog, what a legend. 😎😁 How crisp does that Vertigo sound by the way?😍
I'm 42, was half into trials when i was 13....had bikes but never a trials bike.....Dougie Lampkin is the only person i could name as a trials rider. Never in any sport have i known someone so good they are the only name i know
As a kid, in the 50s, I used to watch ' motorbike scrambling ' on our tiny black n white tv. One name constantly featured on each episode was that of Arthur Lampkin, surely related to the rider here.
Superb. Used to love trials riding used to go watching with my Dad and certainly recall tjat famous name of father and son.. Remember the six days international trial in the fifties and we had a day off school to go and watch. What excitement. Tried to follow the course with my mate on his BSA Bantam 125 and me on the back. We fell off more than we stayed on.. A grest sport that's somehow fallen out of fashion. Who decides these things I don't know..
Grazie per questo dialogo... Non capisco bene tutto in inglese... Ma ho sentito quando impegno e sacrificio in quello che noi vediamo solo come divertente... sport= lavoro, famiglia e tradizione ha fatto tutto con il cuore. ... Bello quando ha detto essere riuscito al lunedì per riposare.
Dio vi benedica e benedica le vostre famiglie.
Old enough to remember when trials was on tv regularly
Remember kick-start?
@@patrickjhorton1 Thats the one I was trying to remember
He is so chill and makes it look so easy then you try it the height is intimidating falling sucks hardest motorcycle riding there is. When I want to be humbled I take out my trials bike
I remember watching him ride and have memories of him and Andy perry competing.
I need to get my Beta out for a run before Christmas! Its be two years off the bike now, which is terrible!
Nice interview, but who sorts your sound out.
you dont have to be a machanic to be a champ good vid tommy
I still at 33 years young enjoy wheeling my bicycle everywhere my best so far in shit conditions is Redcar seafront but the wind can get too much sometimes. I’d love a day out doing something like this but fear id mash myself up a bit 😢
Not a lover of trails riding but obviously very talented, good interview,but I prefer BSB,WSB,MOTO GP, I did used to go to Dave Taylor trail park neat Dartford when it was going years ago on a YZ125 YAMAHA air cooled 2 stroke.
bring back kick-start
Taylor, this is a very interesting interview - but I wish you'd asked Dougie what it was about having the front wheel spinning that made it a 'game changer.'
If I remember correctly, spinning the front wheel creates a gyroscopic force that helps to keep the bike in the vertical plane.
@@gwynnjones6900 That's what I was thinking - but the front wheel can't spin for length of time it takes to wheelie 37 miles, can it?
Physics is scared of Dougie
What you said about young kids getting burnt out after starting so young is so so true. My good friend and work college had packed in at 21 as he's just had enough
