WAKE UP CALL
TURNS OUT PEACOCKS CAN FLY!
Sure, the avian variety may be somewhat aerially challenged, but their Berkshire-based namesake Liam Peacock is already well-known for his airborne antics on the international wakeboarding circuit, and now he’s making waves at local dirt jump spots, too. I went to check out his riding and find out more.
BIKES IN THE BLOOD
Full disclosure – I’ve known Liam’s dad, Paul, since he used to ride with the Crowthorne crew back in the early ’90s. In fact, I was there during his first date with Liam’s mum, Sarah. Over the years I’ve watched both Liam and his older brother Ryan’s rise through the wakeboarding ranks with interest. Given their sporting abilities, it’s no surprise that Liam’s picked up some of his dad’s old-school MTB skills too. What is amazing is how quickly he’s adapted and quite how big he’s going after such a short time back on two wheels.
