On the weekend of the 12th November the Freestyle Now stunt squad was engaged to perform at the Blackwater BMA Mine Christmas party. The Christmas party was a ripper for all of the workers and their families, entertainment, carnival rides, food and drink for all. The Christmas party was set next to the skatepark and the Freestyle Now squad put it to good use with some smashing bmx and skate demos. Squad members Phillip Marshall, Shaun Jarvis and Paul Chamberlain were there and they invited along for the weekend Brisbane skateboarder Pedro Day and Colony team bmxer Michal Bayzand to join them in some Christmas festivities.

DownUnderGround national bmx flatland contest finals took place in Melbourne one the 21st of August at the Aus bike expo. The contest was a great event with riders traveling from all over Australia and some from around the world. Freestyle Now squad members Paul Chamberlain and Shaun Jarvis were at the contest riding in the pro and advanced classes respectively. The two riders rode really well throughout the competition with both riders making it through to the finals in their classes. Paul took out the second place but he won the year end title for the series. Shaun qualified in 2nd place but felt the pressure a bit much and missed a few tricks in his final runs, taking out the 4th place and ended up with a 2nd in the 2011 contest series. Congratulation to both riders for all their great efforts in progressing with their riding.

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”

Freestyle Now squad member Paul Chamberlain just recently got flow from S&M bikes for their range of Intrikat flatland products.Paul is quite chuffed with the deal as he really likes S&M products and was running an LAF frame prior to getting the flow deal and the Intrikat frame and bars. This is what Paul had to say about the hook up “They said that they will help me out with whatever I needed and now I got the Intrikat frame and bars and I’m pretty happy with my other parts. I’m very happy to continue buying stuff from Hell on Wheels, unless I break something that S&M produces. It’s easy to promote S&M stuff because I think that they are one of the best companies in BMX and I have enjoyed using their parts for ages.”
Check out Paul’s profile page to scope out the specifics of his new ride.
Is Paul Chamberlain off to go hunting or is the hunting off to go Paul Chamberlain, it’s an Intrikat situation.
What is this all about, you ask. More information will follow soon. If you think the above doesn’t make sense check out the latest webisode from billy sometimes, it just keeps getting crazier.
Freestyle Now squad riders Paul Chamberlain, Shaun Jarvis and Andrew McDermott are all in Sydney and getting ready for Round 2 of the Newcircle DownUnderGround national bmx Flatland contest series. The riders are set to throw down at the contest tomorrow.

The contest is set to take place next to the Summer Hill skatepark in Summer Hill just west of the city. Flatland riders from around Australia will be converging on the location to compete in round 2 of the national contest. There will also be a category for the best non flatland, flatland trick to entice not just flatland riders there but some of the local street and park riders.
Freestyle now squad members Paul Chamberlain, Shaun Jarvis and Andrew McDermott will be attending the competition. This will be the first contest in this series that Andrew will be attending so he is keen to do place well so his points will go to the year end ranking.

All riders are super stoked to be attending and we wish the Freestyle Now squad members all the best in the competition.
