Freestyle Now bmx stunt squad – South Perth Australia Day Celebrations

twitterlinkedinmail

Australia Day in Perth had one of the most bizarre weather patterns that many have seen for a long time. The Freestyle Now bmx stunt squad had a big day on this day. In the morning they performed some morning stunt shows in Gosnells before they headed over to the South Perth Australia Day celebrations on the Swan River foreshore. It was hot even in the morning, but more heat was to come, the thermometer maxed out at 42 degrees. Liquid was being consumed at a very rapid rate. With the ramps all set it was time to get the bmx shows rolling. The heat defiantly was a large factor in the low numbers attending the Perth Australia Day celebrations fireworks all around the Swan River.
Although it was so hot that did not slow down the Freestyle Now bmx stunt squad performances. A total of 6 shows were performed before nature unleashed its own fireworks. As the sky was getting darker and darker the temperature was still staying at a steady HOT. As time was moving forward the sky was dark from the clouds not from the onset of night. As the fireworks started, so too did natures fireworks. There was lightning going in all directions and rain bucketing down. The temperature did come down some but it remained hot well into the night. Australia Day 2012 most definitely did have the most bizarre weather that Perth has seen in many years.

Freestyle now turns 25 years old today.

twitterlinkedinmail

It is our birthday today. Freestyle Now officially turns 25 years old today. Freestyle Now was formed in the later parts of 1986 with our first stunt shows taking place in December of that year. Many riders have come and gone since then but the core ingredient has always stayed, the promotion of BMX freestyle riding. Although Freestyle Now has branched out into other realms such as skatepark competition management and coaching workshops it is BMX that started it all. Over the next year Freestyle Now will be working on a few projects to celebrate our 25th anniversary.
The below photos are from the Freestyle Now squad’s third event appearance took place in March 1987 at the Fremantle Speed Classic (an old time car drag race). Click here to have a look at our past show history.
