Freestyle Now recently hooked up squad member Tim Rose with a new S&M frame and bars, thanks to our good friends at Stowaway. Tim got the new rig together and proceeded to do what Tim does well, went out and shredded hard. It’s only been a week since Tim has been back on his bike from a 6 week shoulder injury, it doesn’t show one little bit. Have a look at Tim’s profile page for some more info on the big guy.

Narrogin RevHeads bmx dirt competition

The recent bmx dirt competition that took place at Narrogin RevHeads on the 19th of November saw some gnarly riding go down. The dirt competition was part of the Narrogin RevHeads event, full of cars big and loud, FMX competition, burn out comps and bikini babes. The bmx dirt jumps were put together by Daniel Christianson over a week, that dude need to be given mad props for smashing the jumps together in the way he did. Unfortunately for DC he came a gutsa in a big way and took a compound fracture to his finger, not a pretty sight but like a true champion he is he went to hospital and came back again to watch. With the comp under way to the smell of burnt rubber riders hit the jumps and smashed out some radness. When the dust and rubber smoke had cleared it was Lewis Nolan who took the win. Scope out some of the photos and go build some dirt jumps of your own in preparation for 2012 Revheads.

Coming up on the 19th of November the Narrogin RevHeads event will host Western Australia’s only dirt competition. With a redesigned course from last year it’s looking like this year’s event will be improving on from last year’s comp. The Narrogin Rev-Heads is a fuel injected fun weekend with burn outs and super cars abundant. Bikini comps, FMX competitions, burnout comps, live music and of course an awesome BMX dirt comp.

Entry into the RevHeads event will cost $10 for under 18’s or 18’s and over who do not wish to enter into the licensed areas. If you’re over 18 and wish to partake in some drinks in the licensed areas then is will cost you $50 to enter into the RevHeads event.

There are 20 free entry passes to the first 20 riders who submit their details via our contact page and express interest in competing. These early entries close on the 15th November.

There will be two classes to enter for competitors. Duds (novice) and Studs (expert/pro)
Competition entry fees apply as well on top of the entry into the RevHeads event
Duds – $10
Studs – $20

The entry fees will be paid back to the place getters, with RevHeads putting up $400. (Example; 10 riders x $20 = $200 + $400 from RevHeads = $600 total prize money) The more riders entering the higher the prize money.

The dirty Rev-Head

by on 26. Nov, 2010 in Competitions, Dirt

The Narrogin Rev-Heads was a fuel injected fun weekend with burn outs and super cars abundant. The event also hosted some freestyle motor cross as well as the bmx dirt jumping competition. This was the first dirt jumping competition to go down in Western Australia for some years. It’s an competition that Freestyle Now hopes to build on with the Rev-heads event crew. The locals built the jumps to the best of their ability but due to the size of the area the second set was a bit hard to hit up. A big props to riders who made it out to the comp. Although the class was small many riders had to pull out due to crashes just like Michael O’Connell who ended up in hospital that night with some back injuries. Get well soon dude. A simple, lowest score drops out system was use to get the top three into a five jump final. Their two lowest scores were dropped and the best three were tallied. Local Chris Jones was the favorite but Dave Jonker had some moves that kept pushing Chris. Another local Stefan Patterson was in full swing and hit some great limbless variations but it was Chris who had the trick of the comp thou with a no handed no foot can can to tail whip. Insane.

A massive thank you need to go out to Matt at the Narrogin surf shop for being a large supporter of the competition and giving away a stack of prizes. It’s good to see local businesses supporting good events.
