Gateshead BMX Star Lands World Record

BMX star Kieran Reilly, from Gateshead, made history this week landing the world’s first triple flair, a trick only previously attempted on computer games.
It took Reilly around 13 days of riding and around 20 tries to complete the trick, after first attempting it in May 2021.
The 20-year old said: “Those 13 days felt like forever. The work that went into it. The crashing and the stress and the challenges and the mental blocks that I had to get past.
“This was the best adrenaline rush and relief I have ever had off a trick. I have never cried happy tears before and you can see on the video, the second I land, it is just like an emotional overload.”
To make it happen, a crew built a custom roll-in and ramp at Asylum Skatepark in Nottinghamshire.
The stunt, which took less than 10 seconds, saw Reilly speed down a steep ramp before shooting up a second ramp and launching into the air, rotating three times, completing a 180 degree twist and rotating to land on his rear wheel.
After landing, Reilly was barely able to speak as a photographer raced over to congratulate him on the amazing achievement.
The BMX star said “I hoped for the video to do well but the response that it has gotten has been amazing.
“Every trick I learn, I look forward to the adrenaline rush of finally landing it but I have never ever felt anything like this.”
