0:03:04 > 0:03:07- This is Blaenau Ffestiniog, - where Bri lives.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10- Knowing him as I do, - I wasn't surprised to hear...
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- ..he'd thrown himself - into a new activity.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18- But I didn't expect to hear - that he'd broken a world record!
0:03:18 > 0:03:18- Hi, James.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20- Hi, James.- - Hiya, alright?
0:03:20 > 0:03:20- Hiya, alright?

0:03:29 > 0:03:30- Over the noise of the engine...
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- ..I understood we were heading for - the top of the mountain.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- Bri was going to show me where - he'd broken the world record...
0:03:39 > 0:03:41- ..for mountain biking, - believe it or not.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43- Is this the top?
0:03:43 > 0:03:44- Is this the top?- - Yes, this is the top.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46- It is high!
0:03:46 > 0:03:48- Yes.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- This was the beginning of the run.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- In 2015, Bri was part of - a team of disabled riders...
0:03:55 > 0:04:00- ..to break a world record - on one of the Antur 'Stiniog trails.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04- They biked downhill non-stop - for 24 hours.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- Three, two, one.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09- Go!
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- It looks really steep here.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- Yes, it is quite steep.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- It gets steeper as you go down - as well.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22- The weight of the bike carries you. - There are no paddles on it.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- You use your hands - to press down on the back wheels.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- The steeper it is, - the faster you go.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- It takes about three minutes - to reach the bottom.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- Then we'd get straight back - in the van.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42- You'd have to hold on to the brakes - in there!
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- Back up the hill - and the same thing again.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- We'd do about five or six runs - in an hour.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- We'd then change riders - so we could have some rest.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57- There were four riders in the team - - and each had a condition...
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- ..which meant they had to use - a four-wheel bike.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- The bike was prepared - especially for this challenge...
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- ..by a group - from Swansea University.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- This was a 24-hour challenge.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12- How was it in the dark?
0:05:12 > 0:05:14- It was amazing in the dark.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18- To be honest, I went faster - in the dark than in daylight.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- We had really good lights - on the bike and on the helmet.
0:05:22 > 0:05:27- It was like tunnel vision. - You could just about see the track.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31- How did it make you feel?
0:05:32 > 0:05:36- It made me shake. The adrenaline - was pumping through my whole body.
0:05:37 > 0:05:42- When you reached the bottom, you - were pumped up and had a big smile!
0:05:42 > 0:05:44- It was amazing.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- We'd already broken the record - at 2.00am.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48- Just passed the 10,000 metres.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- Just passed the 10,000 metres.- - Have we? Oh, brilliant!
0:05:52 > 0:05:54- Nice one.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59- After breaking the old record - of 8,000 metres...
0:05:59 > 0:06:03- ..Brian and the team went on - to set an unbelievable record.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08- That was 25,875 metres.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- Three, two, one. Hurray!
0:06:15 > 0:06:20- A record to my name. It was one - of the best experiences I've had.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- It was amazing, I have to say.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25- It was quite a high record.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- But we really smashed it - to be honest.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- Would you do it again?
0:06:31 > 0:06:32- Would you do it again?- - Yes. Tomorrow!
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- I just want to get my own bike - so I can do it again.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- And give the opportunity - to other disabled people.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- I want to get more people into - these fourcross ENDURO bikes.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- It was so great seeing everyone - smiling at the end of the day.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- Ysgol Hafod Lon is a school for - children with additional needs...
0:06:59 > 0:07:03- ..which has recently moved to - a new building in Penrhyndeudraeth.
0:07:03 > 0:07:08- I've come to find out about - the role of sport in the school.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17- It's great to see all the equipment - that's available for their use...
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- ..to keep fit and have fun!
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- Several staff members - help with PE lessons.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- But Deio Brunelli is the leader.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34- The opportunities - they have to do things...
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- ..both in school - and outside school...

0:07:47 > 0:07:50- ..both in Gwynedd - and across North Wales.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54- It's an opportunity for them - to mix with children...

0:07:57 > 0:08:00- That path opens up to them - through PE.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- We have a wide variety of needs - in the school.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- Some are particularly gifted.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14- We have some children - who need additional provision.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18- We have children in wheelchairs, - children with cerebral palsy...
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- ..children with autism - and children with Down's Syndrome.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27- With physical education...
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- ..the provision depends entirely - on the individual's needs.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40- It's a type of therapy - for children...

0:08:49 > 0:08:52- ..to burn some energy - and jump around for a while.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04- They have a weekly swimming lesson - at Porthmadog leisure centre.
0:09:05 > 0:09:10- Those lessons are aimed at teaching - survival skills in the water.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- Many of our children - are very good swimmers.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- It opens pathways for them - because some join swimming clubs...
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- ..and take part - in inter-school swimming galas.

0:10:51 > 0:10:54- Well done for helping, Troy.
0:10:57 > 0:11:03- One of my dreams - was to learn how to ride a bike.
0:11:03 > 0:11:08- Unfortunately, because of - the length of my arms and legs...
0:11:08 > 0:11:13- ..I couldn't reach the pedals - or the handles.
0:11:13 > 0:11:18- But it's nice to see - adaptations being made now.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23- Some of our children would never - be able to ride a two-wheel bike.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- Others - can't go on a four-wheel bike.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- Some of these bikes allow them - to go on a bike with someone else.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- It's an opportunity - to sit on a bike...
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- ..even if they're unable to pedal.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43- Seeing the face of a child who's - never been on a bike before...
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- ..when they get on a bike - makes you feel very happy.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54- Ysgol Hafod Lon is a fantastic place - for children with additional needs.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- They also feel strongly - that the children...
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- ..should be part - of the wider community.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- This year's been a big breakthrough - for us.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10- We've worked with mainstream schools - in various competitions.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14- It gives children from mainstream - schools an opportunity...
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- ..to integrate with children - who have additional needs.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20- They see - the different types of needs.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- They accept the children - and mix with them.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26- They see - that they're also part of society.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31- It gives me great pleasure to see - what these children achieve.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33- It gives them - a lot of self-confidence...
0:12:34 > 0:12:36- ..and makes them very proud.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- When you see them in a competition, - they all want to win.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44- Sometimes they think - they can't do something.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- When they achieve something - in physical activity...
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- ..it can give them a boost - to do something else...
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- ..whether that be in class - or beyond the school gates.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- There is something for everyone - here.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01- Seeing the difference it can make - to the life of one child...
0:13:01 > 0:13:03- ..makes it all worth it.

0:15:52 > 0:15:54- Tomi, what's an adjective?
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- Tomi, what's an adjective?- - A word to describe.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- Quite a bit of forward planning - was needed...
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- ..before he moved here - from primary school.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- I first met Tomi when he was - in Year 4 at Ysgol y Wern.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- Ysgol y Wern did a fantastic job - of including him in everything.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- Our challenge was to do the same - in secondary school.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- There are two aspects to - what we need to adapt for Tomi.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21- One is to make sure he can - access everything physically.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- The second - is for his visual impairment.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26- He has considerable - visual impairment.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30- He has no right-hand vision - in either eye.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- That means he has to sit - on the left side of the class...
0:16:33 > 0:16:35- ..to see the teacher - and the whiteboard.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- It also means leaving every lesson - five minutes early...
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- ..before the corridors fill up.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- One thing we did - before Tomi came here...
0:16:45 > 0:16:49- ..was to make sure that every - member of staff had tried these.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- I can't see you at all - with these on.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55- Do you want to try them?
0:16:55 > 0:17:01- It's very hard to understand his - vision problem without trying these.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10- This school seems rather successful - in the sporting world.
0:17:10 > 0:17:15- I wonder how good they are at - including young athletes like Tomi.
0:17:17 > 0:17:23- In terms of integration, Tomi has no - trouble with most of the curriculum.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31- With activities like running, - for example when we do 2km or 3km...
0:17:31 > 0:17:36- ..he comes in around half way - - he has good ability.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- It's more of a challenge...
0:17:39 > 0:17:43- ..when we're playing rugby - or other contact sports.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47- Tomi's advantage - is his positive attitude...
0:17:47 > 0:17:51- ..and also the fact - that sport is important to him.
0:17:52 > 0:17:58- The confidence and self-respect - he gets from doing sport...
0:17:58 > 0:18:00- ..is extremely positive.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05- You might want to be a Paralympian - in future.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07- In which sport?
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- Erm... the 100m.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- From the athletic track - to a car racing track.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25- I went to Oulton Park - near Chester...
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- ..to see Brian Roberts - testing a car he's been adapting.
0:18:29 > 0:18:34- Bri and his friend Steve - are preparing the car for the track.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- How many cars are here today?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38- How many cars are here today?- - There are 72 cars.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- But only 32 can go on the track - at the same time.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48- We may have to wait sometimes - before going out.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52- It's an opportunity for drivers - to test their cars...
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- ..at speeds not allowed - on the roads.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59- But as the track officials explain, - drivers can't race each other today.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- We will impose a mandatory - twenty-minute sin bin.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- I'm going to take my time - and enjoy it.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- It's a good experience to be - on a circuit like Oulton Park.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- I'm looking forward - to going around the track.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18- Before we start, what adaptations - have you made to the car?
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- This is the throttle and the brake.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- You push down to brake...
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- ..and pull it towards you - for the throttle.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- These two buttons change the gears.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31- There are six gears.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35- The green one changes down - and the red one changes up.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38- Did you adapt it yourself?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- I did the gear change myself.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43- It was quite a feat.
0:19:44 > 0:19:45- Are we ready?
0:19:46 > 0:19:47- Goodness. Ready to go!
0:19:48 > 0:19:50- Let's go.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56- The first lap will be slow.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58- Just to warm up the tyres.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08- I can feel the tyres starting - to grip. Let's go for it.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12- There we are.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14- Wow!
0:20:14 > 0:20:16- LAUGHS
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- How fast are we going now?
0:20:19 > 0:20:21- Over a hundred there.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24- Nice.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- I'm only travelling at 50% - at the moment.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30- Bri's interest in car racing...
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- ..started at a go-karting track - in Cerrigydrudion.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38- I had quite a lot of success - from the start.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40- I won a trophy in my first race.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- I won my first ten races - as a novice.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47- I then took the step up - to intermediate.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- I continued to be quite successful.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- I've raced all around Britain.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- I've been racing against people - who don't have a disability.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01- They'd always look in amazement - when they saw my wheelchair...
0:21:01 > 0:21:05- ..especially if I'd beaten them - - it was a good feeling!
0:21:05 > 0:21:10- But Bri had to give up - his go-karting career.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14- I damaged my shoulder.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- My shoulder was too weak - for karting.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20- It's quite a physical sport.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23- The steering was really heavy.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28- Brian then had an opportunity to try - out a race car with hand controls.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33- The car has power steering - so I didn't have any shoulder pain.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- So I thought it was the way forward - for me.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- I could see the light - at the end of the tunnel again.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43- JAMES LAUGHS
0:21:45 > 0:21:47- What do you hope - to get out of today?
0:21:48 > 0:21:54- It's crucial - to do a test session like this.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- It means - you can set the car properly...
0:21:57 > 0:21:59- ..ready for the race.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- How long did it take for you to...
0:22:03 > 0:22:04- Wehey!
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- Wehey!- - JAMES LAUGHS
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- Bit slow on the brakes there!
0:22:09 > 0:22:13- How long did it take - for you to get used to everything?
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- This is the third time - I've been in the car.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18- So I'm still learning.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23- I make changes to the car - quite often.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26- I want it to be - exactly as I want it.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- I want to change the suspension - again.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- Then it will be pretty much there.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36- We'll go in now.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38- We'll go in now.- - Cool beans.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39- Whoopee!
0:22:40 > 0:22:41- Thank you.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43- Nice one.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48- Before going home, I helped Bri - to take off the track tyres...
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- ..and put the road tyres back on.
0:22:51 > 0:22:51- OK?
0:22:51 > 0:22:53- OK?- - Job done.
0:22:53 > 0:22:58- The car is nearly ready to compete, - so Bri is looking for sponsors.
0:22:58 > 0:23:03- I sincerely hope he'll find support - as he has such a positive attitude.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- I like a challenge. I like speed.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13- You only get one life - so you have to make the most of it.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17- I'm looking forward - to racing this car...
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- ..and to going on to the next step.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26- Thank you very much for today. - It's been a fantastic day.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28- I've enjoyed myself as well.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32- First time on the track - at Oulton Park. I've learnt a lot.
0:23:33 > 0:23:34- It's been an inspiration.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53- S4C Subtitles by Testun Cyf.
0:23:53 > 0:23:53- .
