Freestyle Now bmx stunt squad at Rockingham youth festival

twitterlinkedinmail

On Saturday 20th March the Freestyle Now bmx stunt squad were out in force at the Rockingham youth festival. The day was a great chilled out event with a stack of youth bands playing some great music. The Rockingham youth service team done an awesome job in organizing such a brilliant day.

Freestyle Now squad members Tim Rose, Dylan Schmidt and Shaun Jarvis invited shredder Dave Pinelli to the demos. Dave is a super awesome dude who can bust out some mean tricks and at the end of the day Dave was even boosting massive high 180,s over the box. Tim started to throw in some new tricks like tabled 360 to turndowns, Dylan had the customary Dylan enthusiasm and just kept hitting all the tricks while after a year and a half off from jumping due to injuries Shaun started to jump the box again. An awesome day was had by many.

Fill in rider Warren Bowers from Tempered bikes was there on the day as well to throw down some no hander back flips for the youngens. The day was hot and then turned to some patchy rain showers but not enough to stop the show. The festival was a great day and the turnout was good.

Last show of the decade

twitterlinkedinmail

The Freestyle Now bmx stunt squat were out in full force for the last time this decade at the Williams trotting club race meet. Some mid race entertainment was required so the squad was on hand to throw down their specialist skills and keep the crowds entertained. The day was hot, really hot and the spectators were keeping to the shade. The trotting race meet was small but exciting. Being in the infield and that close to the horses racing at such a speed was awesome.

Woodridge community fair

On Sunday the Freestyle Now bmx stunt squad was at the Woodridge community fair. It was a great day to be out riding and mingling with the crowd. The community was really into the shows with a stack of young people hanging out with us most of the day and getting to ride our bikes. The shows were flatland only and the surface was top notch to be riding on. Squad members Shaun Jarvis and Andrew McDermitt  were joined by Mike Brandt and special guest Victorian transplant Ben Moran .It was a good way for the riders to get warmed up for the Downunderground national flatland contest series taking place on Friday 6th November at the Canning agricultural show.

One of the funniest things that has ever been said at a demo was when an older lady came and had a look at the squad riding and said with surprise “OH…… they’re adults!!!

Yes that’s is right grown men riding bmx bikes.

Clock wise from top left – Shaun – steamroller, Andrew – hitchhiker,  Shaun – Gut lever, Ben Moran – impossible, Mike – going backwards, Andrew – messiah

2009 Perth Royal Show

The Freestyle Now bmx stunt squad has been riding and rippin hard at the 2009 Perth Royal show. After 8 days worth of demos everyone was getting a bit sore but it’s been a stack of fun. Thousands of people have got to see the Freestyle Now squad in action. The shows have been put together along with freestyle motocross. It’s been one heck of an action pack show, with kaos and madness reining supreme. The crowds have been awesome every day and the comments we got back from the audience is so encouraging.

A big shout out to the Royal Agricultural society of Western Australia for having the Freestyle Now bmx stunt squad rock out all day and night.

Thanks to all the riders who were involved in the show as without them none of the show performances would have been able to go ahead as well as they have.

Thank you to Tim Rose, Dylan Schmidt, Warren Bowers, Jamie Mauri, Corey Smithies, Jay Wilson, Jon Greham, Dave Pinelli, The Pav man, Dave Jonker, Sebbi Scott, Ben Roberts, Tom Roberts, Bodhi Waite, Ryan Griffiths, Luke Snelling, Peter Smithe and Brad Bevan
