Motor-mouthed moto-mouths
By Team TMX on 22nd Nov 12
The Reem Team, the Toxic Twins, the Gruesome Twosome call them what you like, Tim Warwood and Christian Stevenson are a double act with a difference as Arenacross fans are going to find out in the New Year.
Tim and Christian are the motor-mouthed moto-mouths who'll be our MCs at all four rounds and as fans will quickly discover there's no such thing as dead air when the pair are packing microphones!
On paper the partnership between Brummie Tim and American Christian sounds like a match made in hell but the mental mash-up actually works and the pair feed off each other as they reinvent the English language with side-splitting – and radiculous – results! But there's much more to them than simply being the Laurel and Hardy of action sports commentary...
Working together for over a decade as Laughing Gear Productions, the pair have presented and performed at major events across the world from the V Festival and T in the Park to the Quiksilver Bowlriders skateboard tour and even the Sex Pistols after-show party with major clients including Monster, Channel 4, the BBC, Orange, MTV and XBOX 360.
Over the summer they were heavily involved with the live commentary from the BMX events at the London Olympics and the pair are virtually foaming at the mouth at the prospect of unleashing their talents on Arenacross.
"I love the smell, the noise, the racing, the bikes, the jumps, everything about motocross,” says Tim, who's probably best known as a long-standing presenter of Channel 4's Freesports on 4 series and Disney XD's Goalmouth. "So to take all that, put it indoors and then ramp up the noise and amplify the action, the jumps, the racing is just going to be insane! Then add FMX to the onslaught and it's going to be off the charts! To say I'm excited is an understatement!”
"I'm just so stoked that it's finally here,” adds Christian who DJ'd at Jamie Oliver's recent book launch party. "Europe's best banging bars, trading paint, going fast and taking chances. Plus we'll have some of the best FMXers on the planet throwing down some sick aeronautical trickery.”
