2. TV programme looking for Biker loving grandparents who want to spend more time with their adult grandchildren...

   Posted on 12:00pm Saturday 28th Oct 2017

   Shiver Productions are developing an exciting new television programme for a major broadcaster.  

   They are looking for vibrant, fun and outgoing grandparents who may be interested in the project. They are hoping that there are Biker loving grandparents out there who may want to spend more time with their adult grandchildren (who must be 18 plus).  

   With grandparents reportedly only seeing their grandkids on average twice a year, it is not surprising the two generations often know little about each others lives.

   In ‘Gran Knows Best’, British grandparents will spend one-on-one time with their multiple grandchildren in an attempt to get to know them better and see if they can offer any help.

   Along the way they will learn about the pressures their grandchildren face, the lifestyle choices they make, their hopes for the future and what, if anything, is standing in their way of achieving them.

   The programme will allow grandparents to share their knowledge, advice and practical help while learning more about the lives, hopes and aspirations of their grandchildren.

   They are looking for amazing families now, so if you are interested or would like more information or you know someone who may fit the bill – please call Karen on 0207 157 4588 or email on [email protected]

3. Three Essential Items You Need for Motocross

   Posted on 12:00pm Tuesday 24th Oct 2017

   If you are thinking of getting into the sport of motocross, there are some things that you will need before hitting the track.  This is a very exciting sport that can be physically challenging.  But if you have the right equipment and have taken the time to practice, you can succeed in this fast-paced sport!  Today, we are going to learn more about three essential items that you will need before getting on your bike.  

   A High-Quality Helmet 

   Before you even think about getting on a motocross bike, you will need to purchase a good helmet. A motocross helmet is specifically designed for the sport and will keep you safe while you are on the track. So, when helmet shopping, make sure that you are buying one that is rated for motocross. There are a lot of good helmet makers in the market today, one of the most popular being Fox Racing. These companies produce high-quality helmets that you can trust to protect you while you are enjoying a day of racing. While there’s other safety gear that you will need, a helmet is vital and required. So, make sure you get one before you get on the back of that bike.  

   The Right Bike for Your Size 

   If you are new to motocross racing, you might think that bikes are one size fits all.  But that is simply not the case. Choosing the right bike for your size is very important and can have a positive effect on your performance. First, you will need to consider your height.  A great way to find a bike that fits your height is to sit on it. When you get on the bike, make sure to sit forward to see if your feet can touch the ground.  But you don’t want your feet to be flat footed on the ground. Instead, choose a bike that will let half your feet touch the ground while sitting forward. Next, you will need to consider your weight.  If you are under 150 pounds, you should choose a bike that is under 250cc. This will give you greater control over the bike.  On the other hand, if you weigh 200 pounds or more, a 450cc bike will probably serve you better.  

   A Pair of Motocross Approved Boots 

   Another essential item that you will need to get before hitting the track is a pair of motocross approved boots. These stylish boots will not only keep you safe while on the track but will also make you look great!  Motocross boots come in a wide-range of colours so finding ones to fit your style won’t be an issue. These boots will help you stay on your bike and control those hard to navigate turns.  

   These are just a few of the essentials that you will need before you get on the back of a bike. While there are other items that you will need, these are highly important and you can’t ride without them. Make sure that you purchase these items so that you can take part in this very exciting sport.
