Wagin Wool-o-Rama

Wagin is about 240kms south east from Perth. Each year for the past 40 years the Wagin Wool-o-Rama has taken place. It is now one of the biggest agricultural shows in Western Australia. The Shire of Wagin recently built its own skatepark within the showgrounds. Instead of getting a skatepark contractor to build the park they contracted the work out within the community. The savings were astronomical and the park has been built to perfection. Freestyle Now went down to the Wagin Wool-o-Rama last weekend to host a bmx, skateboard and scooter coaching workshop. On a very hot Friday afternoon and evening the locals were stoked to be ripping it up with the Freestyle Now squad. It is always great to help out new riders and get them learning new skills. On the Saturday it was equally as hot as the Freestyle Now squad hit up a series of show performance along with some coaching session in between. At the end of the day there were many happy people who either had seen some awesome bmx and skateboard riding or learnt some new skills. If you’re traveling down south stop into Wagin and shred the park, it’s well worth it.

Clockwise from top left – Tim Rose pumped the heck outta the park to boost this rad tabletop – Kie Ashworth likes the new Wagin this much – Tim Rose like to nacnac over everything – Callum McCauley skated hard even after he tweaked his ankle.

Clockwise from top left – Tim Rose took a while to find this line but finally found it and pumped this tabletop out totally unexpected – Kie Ashworth jumping from bowl to bowl while Callum films for a coming video edit – Andy liked the transitions and was pumping from one quarter over the spine and back again throwing down some good Andy style – Kie Ashworth kept the crowd on its toes by putting in a flair here and there during the stunt shows.

On Sunday the 4th March, the Freestyle Now bmx stunt squad gave the audience of the NBL Perth Wildcats v New Zealand Breakers basketball game more than a slam-dunk. With over 4000 people packing the Challenge Stadium they got to witness 4 minutes of pure radness from squad members Tim Rose, Dave Pinelli, Laurance Bakewell and Dylan Schmidt while Shaun Jarvis was on the mic. The Wildcats went down to the Breakers 101 to 99 in a fiery, physical and enthralling overtime thriller, but it was the halftime show that really raised the roof.

Freestyle Now or 25 years ago

by on 03. Mar, 2012 in Bmx, Shaun Jarvis, Stunt shows

25 years to the day, today the 3rd of March 1987, Freestyle Now busted out one of our all time classic stunt shows at the Freemantle speed classic. This was our third ever stunt show that we had done and our first paid gig. We not sure how we got this gig but looking back it was a great day with many memories. We do have video footage locked away on VHS which should see light of day in an upcoming mini documentary celebrating the 25th year of Freestyle Now. Click here to have a look at our long list of stunt shows from over the past 25 years.

 

These three guys are the dudes who started Freestyle Now left to right – Shaun Jarvis, Brad Dyer, Georg Molnar.

 Left – Todd Triebler throwing down a cherry picker. Todd was the announcer in our first few stunt shows. On this day Georg took a handle bar to the stomach in the 2nd show so Todd came out in the 3rd show to throw down. He did not disappoint and became a permanent member of the squad.
Right – Brad Dyer hopping around on the front end.

 The West Australian New paper ran this photo on page 3 of the newspaper a few days after the show. Shaun Jarvis had this to say about the newspaper article. “I went into work on Tuesday and the boss said that he wanted to buy the paper but was told that they were all sold out, some young bloke had brought them all. I had no clue what the heck he was on about, until a little while later a fellow worker showed me the paper, I was stoked to say the least. The only copy I have is this old photo copied one, still it brings back some great memories from the show.”
