This group of youngsters proved they were wheely crazy at a mountain bike summer roadshow.

Organisers of the Mountain Bike UK show, which is touring England, said the Brighton crowds, including skateboarders, had been the best in the country so far.

Jordaine Ward, who works for Mountain Bike UK magazine, which organised the show, said: "In other places it was mostly tourists who turned up to watch but in Brighton the crowds were enthusiasts who needed no prodding to get into the action. It was by far the best crowd yet."

Hundreds turned up to watch top riders perform stunts and jumps on BMX and mountain bikes at the afternoon event held on The Level near St Peter's Church.

Tricks included bike jumps off a 10ft wall and riding along a beam just two inches wide.

After the action was over many youngsters queued up to have a chat with their favourite riders and get their autographs.
