Watch: Broadcast personality Dicky Dodd gets extreme for first day of Wolverhampton sports event
Radio host and online personality Dicky Dodd appeared on the first day of a three-day alternative sports event in Wolverhampton.
The ribbon was finally cut at the anticipated FISE Experience event in Wolverhampton's Market Square, marking the first day of an epic three-day alternative sports event.
Among the dozens of scooter and BMX athletes and hordes of spectators, visitors could also see the Wolverhampton-based broadcast personality, who visited the event for its opening day.
The three-day competition features a range of events, including Freestyle BMX, Freestyle Scooter and breaking (break dancing).
Dicky was seen talking to 18-year-old BMX Olympian, Sasha Pardoe, from Stourbridge, who was also at the event.
Sasha said: "It's really good to be on the track. It's amazing to have it in the centre of Wolverhampton. It's a bit small but the ramp is good and the course is good.
"It's good to see this event in so close to home."
The first of the event was dominated by Freestyle BMX groups, while Saturday and Sunday will see a mix of break dancing and scootering.
Visiting the event, Rebecca and Drew Potter, of Wolverhampton, said: "It's been fantastic, we have been here for a few hours. It's quite scary how high they get on the big ramp really. It's really good to watch.
"It's great to see events like this come to Wolverhampton. You don't normally get a chance to see these alternative sports events without paying a lot of money. We really need more of these types of competitions."
The event is completely free to attend for all, with everyone invited to bring their own scooters and BMXs to have a go on the course themselves.
