"The series has attracted record TV audiences here in the UK and has attracted considerable interest at the MIPTV festival in Cannes last week," according to the organizers. "Our official distributor is CANAMEDIA, who will also be dealing with the DVD distribution in the near future."

Gregor Edmunds, who has been working hard on this series with his father, Douglas, said, "This is the biggest opportunity we have of establishing our sport as a worldwide media event, and hopefully leading athletes will be recognised and receive appropriate rewards."
