It's a little known fact in hard house
circles, but Amo from the Tidy Boys is absolutely
petrified of heights. Stick him on a simple
box or a small wall and his face drains
of colour and he breaks out in a cold sweat.
So imagine our surprise here at tidy HQ
when he announced his intention of facing
his fear - by abseiling down the iconic
Blackpool Tower! We've heard of promoting
an event but this really is going above
and beyond the call of duty!
When the Tidy Boys take their Galaxy Digital
competition winners to the top of the Tower
during the massive tidy NYE Weekender at
Pontins in Blackpool on December 30th, 31st
and January 1st, Amo won't be joining them
in the lift on the way back down.
"I've been making my very own bungee
cord for the last few months now,"
said Amo. "I used to have a really
big rubber band ball but now the whole thing's
been turned into one long rope that hopefully
will take my weight once I launch myself
off the top."
"At least if I hit the bottom I'll
bounce back up," he added optimistically.
Asked if he would be raising any money
for a particular charity while dangling
down the side of the famous northern attraction,
Amo said "Well if people want to donate,
feel free. Hopefully I'll make enough money
to buy enough rubber bands to make ball.
I really miss bouncing it around my back
yard," he sighed before adding another
band to his massive rope.
