In episode one of this brand new series, the boys from Baja burn more than midnight oil to build and race a bike using only spare parts (with a leg up from some friends).

The idea was simple. Two riders up. Head to head. 250 metres of Black Sand Beach stretching out in front of them. The twist… they’re both wearing fancy dress. ⁠What could possibly go wrong?⁠
