What happens when a five-time SuperEnduro World Champion gets the keys to one of football’s most impressive new stadiums? You get Billy Bolt riding lines nobody ever imagined around Everton’s new Hill Dickinson Stadium.

In this latest challenge, the Northumberland ace swaps rocks, logs and hard enduro obstacles for the home of Premier League football, going head-to-head with England number one Jordan Pickford in a series of bike-versus-ball challenges.
The pair’s North East roots add another layer to the contest. Newcastle fan Bolt and Sunderland supporter Pickford have plenty of local bragging rights on the line, while Pickford’s well-known love of motocross makes this much more than a footballer trying his luck on a dirt bike.
With exclusive access to Everton’s stunning new waterfront home, Bolt turns the stadium into his own personal playground, hopping, balancing and finding creative lines through the venue in a way that’s never been seen before. Alongside Pickford and social media duo Armstrong & Garner, the challenges combine sharp shooting, quick reactions and plenty of two-wheel precision.
Fresh from another dominant SuperEnduro campaign and with the outdoor hard enduro season now in full swing, the Husqvarna factory rider continues to show why he’s regarded as one of the most naturally talented riders in the sport. Whether it’s a brutal extreme test or a football stadium, he somehow finds a way to make it look easy.
Speaking about the project, Bolt said:
“It was brilliant teaming up with Everton for this one. We’ve always had that North East rivalry from home, and knowing how much Jordan loves bikes made it even better. It’s not every day you get the chance to ride around Everton’s iconic stadium or take shots against a world-class goalkeeper.”
It’s not every day we get to see Billy away from the race tape, and while there are no championship points on offer, there’s plenty of skill, competition and laughs packed into this one.
