Christian 'EverGreen' Elkin #20

Send us Fan Mail Join Gareth Keys and Korie McGreevy for an unfiltered deep dive with multiple British 125cc champion, international road race winner, and NW200 legend Christian Elkin. In this must-watch episode, Christian opens up about his incredible journey: starting on a £50 Honda Vision 50 scooter raking canal fields at 14, polishing bikes at 13 for a Saturday job, jumping straight into tarmac racing with zero prior experience, becoming a double British 125cc champion, and witnessing Casey Stoner's jaw-dropping talent up close ("He backed it in sideways... I thought I'd be over the bars!"). The highlight? Christian relives the surreal, emotion-charged 2008 North West 200 250cc race — just 48 hours after Robert Dunlop's tragic qualifying crash at Mather's Cross. He battles wheel-to-wheel with 19-year-old Michael Dunlop and John McGuinness in one of the most iconic NW200 moments ever.
