Scooter World Champion is 17-year-old from Widnes

Paul Salt

Available for over a year

When you think of scooters, you probably think of kids in the park or the ones for adults which have popped up around town over the last couple of years. But scooter riding is actually one of the fastest growing extreme sports in the world. And one of the best riders is 17 year old Jamie Hull from Widnes. As well as being UK champion he also holds the title for 'World Trick of the Year'! So lots of children have scooters when they're little, but we asked Jamie when he realised he wanted to take this to the next level.
