Freestyle Now squad members Shaun Jarvis and Paul Chamberlain are now in Melbourne and getting ready for the finals of the DownUnderGround taking place on Sunday 21st August. Shaun sent in a few words and photos to share about what has been going on.
“Hey all having a blast in Melbourne at the moment. I got in on Wednesday morning and just chilled for the day. Thursday I had to head off to do a small demo at Port Phillip Primary school. It was crazy with a stack of school kids chanting BMX, BMX, BMX, BMX, BMX, for about 2 minutes, it was well rad. Then got to ride around Melbourne for a bit with Greg barns and Cal. Ended up at the Imax for a ride after picking up Eiji Kataka from Japan who has been working up in Kununurra from the train station. Friday me and Eiji had to head to the city to meet Tomy Idler who had flown in from Germany on a 25 hour flight. We all went back to Phillip Fruh’s house where we are staying and then back to the city to ride at the Imax spot again. From there we went to watch fellow Western Australian bmxer Kim Johnson play a solo gig at the Pony bar. It was so rad as he had written a special song just for the occasion called “B4 it’s too late” with a stack of Freestyle Now reference in there. A BMX moment at its finest. Tomorrow is Saturday and there will be a big jam at Imax with a stack of riders from around Australia and various locations from the world. And Sunday is the finals of the DownUnderGround which I’m really looking forward to. Cheers to all and do like ya mum said, play with the other kids nicely”
