On Saturday 25th of February Sydney hosted the first round of the new series of DownUnderGround – national bmx flatland contest. Freestyle Now squad members Paul Chamberlain, Shaun Jarvis and Jason Parker attended the contest. Congratulations to Shaun and Jason for taking 2nd and 3rd in the advanced class and for Paul for getting a 3rd place in the best trick/combo comp. It was a rad day with many riders attending and all having a fun day of riding.
Top – Jason throwing down a decade. Left – Jason with the 3rd place, Sydney rider Andrew Lightbody took 1st, Shaun with the 2nd place (Jason is on the highest podium as he is just straight up rad) Right – Best trick/combo place getters, Eiji Kataoka from Japan 2nd place, Simon O’Brien 1st place and Paul Chamberlain 3rd.
It’s that time of the month again for another episode of “Behind the Bars” to be released. In 2001 squad members Shaun Jarvis and Jason Parker produced a T.V. show called “Behind the Bars”. It was broadcast on community television in Perth Western Australia and it focused on the BMX scene in Perth. With no video production skills the two guys just went at it, they knew what they wanted to achieve and set about doing just that. This is a good example that you can do whatever you want as long as you put your mind to it. There is nothing holding you back, only you. the only experience these guys has was what they created. With only that experience to guide them in production the two guys set out to get another show set and done, show 6. So after 10 years it’s now time to unleash the final show in the series via the internet. There are still three more shows to be published on the net so stayed tuned for them over the next few months. You can check out the “Behind the Bars” page here to see all the episodes. Enjoy.

The prelude tells you a bit of information about Behind the Bars
Long time squad member Jason Parker is about to embark on an American riding trip and hanging out with friend Todd Meyn. Only one problem, not much riding will be getting done.
Two days ago Jason was riding Todd Meyn’s foam pit, but a slight misjudgment in speed resulted in Jason not making the jump properly. Without being that 100% committed Jason’s bike went into the foam while Jason went back into the ramp. Snap went his wrist. Jason hasn’t had any plaster for about 7 years so that not bad going. Freestyle Now wishes Jason a speedy recovery while he in America.
