Dougie Lampkin is only 33 but he has already accumulated 12 World Championship titles including 7 consecutive World Outdoor Championships and 5 Indoor.
Motor bikes run in the Lampkin family. Dougie’s father Martin was the first trials world champion in 1975. Dougie’s uncle Arthur was even more famous, riding for the army in 1958 and becoming nationally famous during the sixties. Scrambling was often on the TV and many lads dreamt of riding a bike as Arthur so frequently did.
Alan Lampkin was the other less successful brother but he did win the Scottish six day trial in 1966.
Pictures of ArthurWe should have this sport as an Olympic event in 2012! If we did Dougie’s existing MBE for services to sport would be upgraded!
