00:00All the way through my life I've been interested in speed.
00:13As I put my helmet on for the very first time on my bike I was like yeah this is me.
00:20Possibly the most exciting sport in the world.
00:24Fun, it's exhilarating.
00:26It's just dream zone, it's just pure dream zone.
00:31Hello.
00:32Talon skills Piggins right at the back of 26.
00:35Talon unfortunately is a disabled rider, he's a paraplegic.
00:42It was the hardest thing I've ever been told is he'd never walk again.
00:50I'm just doing something that I never would have thought I could have done.
00:53When things do go wrong there's still light at the end of the tunnel, there's never an end.
01:02Although Steve is in a wheelchair he is not disabled.
01:05We're not just here on track days, we are out here to compete against able-bodied riders.
01:14What goes on in this team is utterly unique and very, very special.
01:19It's a fantastic two fingers up to fate.
01:32They've got history and sometimes it's more of a traumatic history.
01:36You're always reminded of that day.
01:37It's tough to watch and there's not much between them and the road really is there.
01:45This is the reality of it, is that incidents happen.
01:48You know, nobody out there is going to give any break to anybody that's on a motorbike.
01:57We have to fight our way through life.
02:02These aren't just normal, everyday riders.
02:18There's no way too.
02:19There's no way.
02:20But we are going to take a look at the back and then, they're kind of doing something.
02:23You can just get a look at it.
02:25I'm gonna do something because the other thing has come back to the back.
02:39What happened?
02:41There are a couple of people going back to walking down the road.
02:43You can just go back to walking down the road.
