A teenage biker lucky to be alive after falling head first on to tarmac when a stunt went wrong has thanked the 'heroes' who saved him.

Brave 13-year-olds, Ben Ackland, Emile Michels and Matt Howlett from Liskeard, rushed to the aid of Jack Kenny, 14, following the incident.

Jack had been attempting, for the first time, a 360 degree stunt on his new BMX bike at St Cleer skate park and suffered multiple skull fractures when it went horribly wrong.
