Born into one of Britain’s most famous motorcycling families, Dougie Lampkin was always destined for a life on two-wheels. Under the typically tough Yorkshire guidance of his late father Martin, himself the first ever FIM Trial World Champion back in 1975, Dougie soon rose through the youth ranks quickly establishing himself to be a force to be reckoned with in his own right on the international scene. He was soon to secure the European Trial crown in 1993 aged just seventeen before taking his first British title a year later, and by 1997 Dougie had achieved his dream of matching his father’s feat and becoming FIM Trial World Champion himself.
