On the 6th of November the Freestyle Now stunt squad along with invited rider Laurence Bakewell headed out to the Dumbleyoug Bluebird festival to hit up some show performances and coaching workshops. The bluebird festival takes its name from the famous Bluebird boat that Donald Campbell set the water speed record in. In 1964 Donald Campbell too the Bluebird to Lake Dumbleyoug and set the water speed record of 444.66 Km per hour. Lake Dumbleyoug when it is not dry has the largest body of inland water in southern W.A. covering an area of about 84kms2  

The Bluebird festival is a great community event with many surrounding areas and towns contributing to make this event a highlight of the calendar year for many. The Freestyle Now squad hit up some great show performances and then also got the local riders involved with some coaching workshops.The young dudes who participated all had a blast and even joined into the last show.

Freestyle Now at relay for life

On Sunday the 31st October the Cancer Council’s 24 hour Relay For Life fundraising event came to a close. In the unique event teams of 10 to 15 friends, families or colleagues challenge themselves to take turns to keep a baton moving in a relay style walk or run overnight. It is an opportunity to get together with the community and celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost to cancer, and fight back against a disease that takes too much.

Freestyle Now headed down to the Mandurah event, which raised over $228,000, 99% of their target, to set up the ramps for some demos and open jam sessions. It was great to be able to support a charity that has so many far reaching implications to many.

A big thank you to all that that came out to support the charity. Please click the tags if you would like to find out more information on the Relay for life  or the Cancer Council’s work.

The 2010 Gidgegannup agricultural show was a hoot of a time for the Freestyle now stunt squad. The spectators were treated to some awesome bmx riding from Kie Ashworth, Shaun Jarvis, Dave Pinelli and guest rider Dylan Cruthers. The crowd really got involved with the shows by showing their appreciation on every trick. During one of the shows Kie boosted the jump box way to high to be normal, but that’s Kie. A fun day was had by many.

Now this is just plain ridiculous, Kie come down from there

The Perth Royal show was eight packed days of excitement. So many good stunt shows took place with all the riders hitting trick after trick and the crowds were just so fantastic and loud and with that kind of combination the shows were just out right amazing.

Some of the highlights over the eight days include

  • Jessie Bull punching out some insane superman tailwhips.
  • Dave Pinelli dipping his 360 way too far to be normal.
  • Sebbi Scott getting his 180 on over the box jump.
  • Kie ejecting from a super high location in the sky to come out unscathed.
  • Mad staging area jam sessions of all kinds.
  • One of the grounds crew saying to the riders in the staging area “You kids get out of the way of the Ute”.
  • Warren Bowers throwing down bar spin to tuck no handers.
  • Tim Rose learning tuck no handers.
  • Shaun Jarvis almost having his head ripped off on the intro jumps as he lost count of how many riders were jumping over him.
  • Sebbi Scott bailing on a 180 only to ask if he had horse shit over his shirt as he could smell something.
  • Dylan Cruthers getting his no handed flips working to the crowd.
  • One rider spending $450 in first 3 days.
  • Kie ashworth and superman seat grabs.
  • Having over 5000 spectators witness bmx every day.
  • Getting a live cross for the Channel 9 weather report.

The last day of the Perth Royal show was a doozy. The last night show went off so well. The thousands of people at the Claremont show grounds really got amped up when all the riders got well loose with the tricks and shattering the night sky with a bubble of sound. It was a fitting end to a awesome eight days. Once all the formalities were over most of the riders headed out to Royal Bmx for an after party where some really loose action went down. Well deserving though after the massive effort the riders went through over the eight days of show performances.

Freestyle now would like to send a shout out to all the riders who rode and helped out over the Perth Royal Show, Shaun Jarvis, Kie Ashworth, Tim Rose, Dylan Schmidt, Dave Pinelli, Jesse Bull, Warren Bowers, Ben Roberts, Jake Greaves, Luke Snelling, Sebbi Scott, Brad Beven, The Pav man, Dylan Cruthers, Dave Jonker, Corey Smithies, Laurance Bakewell, Jacob DeAbru, Bradie Yeomans, Bryn Weinman, Aaron Pill, Beechy, Royal Bmx and Team FMX for throwing down.
