Charley Boorman:
Ever since I was a little kid I've been into motorbikes. And I grew up in a farm and my mother was always sending me down to pick potatoes and I hated it. And I had this idea with a friend of mine. I had this little YZ80 motocross bike so we went down and I thought it would be a good idea to dig the potatoes up with the back wheel of the motorbike spinning to digging them up. So I thought of give it a go again today, try and get them in this bucket and see how it goes with spud biking I suppose you could call it. So, see what happens and if I can recreate what it was like when I was a kid.
