Here you go Hoopdriver :roll:

A 12-YEAR-OLD boy has suffered horrific burns to his face and neck after cycling through a thin rope strung across a bridge by suspected pranksters.

Euan Cusack, from Merthyr Tydfil, is lucky to be alive after he rode into the hidden 6ft long rope at 15 mph.

He was left with deep cuts along his neck and face after the taut line just missed vital arteries that if nicked, could have caused him to bleed to death.

And speaking of hacks employed by the Murdoch empire, I must admit, whilst a horrible story - and my sympathies go out to the young lad involved - it does strike me as double standards coming from the same paper that carries a column full of often anti-cyclist "outrageous politically incorrect opinions which he has for money" (to quote Stewart Lee) from the nation's number one supermarket denim-clad cretin every sodding Saturday. :roll:

The same sort of thing happened at Hamsterley Forest a while ago

I hope it's not some sort of new trend happening, terrible.

Someone's been stringing barbed wire up on MTB trails at the Wyre forest ('scuse the pun). :evil:
