Freestyle Now would like to formally announce that Australian bmx legend Lee Kirkman is now an official Freestyle Now squad member. Lee has been competing at a pro level since 1995 and would have to be the best all round rider in Australia if not the world. It’s not uncommon for Lee to hit up some large dirt jumps in the morning, roll out large flairs at the skatepark in the afternoon and finish up with a flatland session in the evening. Lee brings to Freestyle Now skills that many riders dream of. His ability on a bike is nothing but radness. Lee Kirkman Indian air at margaret river freestyle now bmx show

Lee is recently won the year end title for DownUnderGround the Australian bmx flatland contest series and took second at the finals in Melbourne in Pro. To add to his record wins in 2011 Lee won the doubles competition at the Red Bull dirt pipe with friend Clint Bensley. The dirt pipe was a one of a kind contest, a dirt halfpipe sculptured down a hillside that sent the riders down fast and over big jumps, an insane contest to say the least. In 2007 at the Australian BMX games Lee took out the Hungry like a Wolf trophy, an award that was given to the best rider of the contest. Lee Kirkman place top five in pro in Flatland, Dirt, Park, Mini and Vert at that contest. There are not many riders in the world that can achieve such an achievement. Lee Kirkman is one heck of a rider, anything you put in front of him he can ride it. It is a pleasure and an honor to have such a legend as a Freestyle Now squad member. Be sure to check out some of the below videos to know that Lee Kirkman knows how to roll out the rad.

Six minutes with Lee Kirkman, give it a watch to see more of an insight into the life of Lee Kirkman.

Lee Kirkman can ride everything and this below video just proves this point, some dam radical riding in this video, know that Lee Kirkman is the radness.
