Following the afternoon supercross races, Metzger will perform the incredible stunt. He will be joined by top British freestyler Jamie Squibb and Canadian Andy Bell who will perform their own brand of tricks. All three will perform stunts on Saturday October 19 but Metzger will save his back flips for the Sunday afternoon.
"It's a freestyle trick that has never been seen in Britain before," said John Hellam of promoters Future West. "Mike has been very particular about the details because of the precise nature of the trick. The ramps have been built specially for this performance and Mike will fly in well before the event with his own engineer who will check out the specification of the ramp."
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
