BTW's own fan club
The boys have attracted plenty of local fans
Mark and the St Anton branch of his fan club

Tom

Apparently a couple of the guys have a little Austrian fan club.

There's a posse of 14 year-old-girls who follow us about a bit.

It's quite funny really.

Myself, Mark and Garth are the ones they've been following.

I've spoken to them but it only went as far as hi because I'm not much of a German speaker.

It's quite strange and surreal.

We've signed a few autographs when we were doing Circuit Jump.

I've probably got the worse writing in the world
Tom on his autograph style!

One of the TV runners came over and told us these girls were after them.

So I pleaded, "what's the point?" but they wanted it anyway so I gave it to them.

I don't know what they are going to do with it though.

I haven't exactly been practising. In fact I've probably got the worse writing in the world.

My handwriting's about the same level as an 11-year-old and always has been.

I just wrote my name! It's more a less a scribble.

It's quite flattering but quite strange!
