From the Streets to the Racetrack
A film by Johny Mourgue
Westley Agius hails from a non-motorsport background in Essex with early interests like snowboarding and surfing. He spent the better part of a decade living in Japan where he became a professional snowboard instructor. When returning to England, he sought to find that same adrenaline rush through the underground street racing culture which revolved around the Ace Cafe in Hanger Lane. A staple hangout for motorcyclists in southern England. A near fatal accident left him seeking an alternative outlet to channel his desire for speed and adrenaline, which is how he found flat track racing. A DIY ethos and a hunger to succeed has enabled him to build two race bikes and rise through the ranks quicker than any other rider in the UK scene.
