Freestyle Now squad members Tim Rose and Kie Ashworth along with good friend Jake Coreless are settling into the travel life in America. Tim Rose sent in a few words and photos about what’s been going on in the last few weeks.
The trip so far is going great. The flight over here was one of the best we’ve had, got given some sleeping tablets and we were out cold for like 7 hours, definitely killed some time. Landed in NY with nowhere to go so we took some shuttle bus to a cheap hotel, and the fight to get over jet lag began but it took about 3 nights and we were all pretty well good. We spent a couple of days working out the NY subway, if you think Sydney is bad this thing is ridiculous. We ended up being lost countless times all fun though. Went and checked out B and H camera wholesale in NY were we all spent a lot of money. We navigated our way to the new Animal warehouse over in jersey, awesome bunch of guys. The next day we were on a 4 hour greyhound bus ride to Binghamton in upstate NY to FBM to be reunited with our stallion from our last US trip. One new battery and some oil and the jeep fired up after sitting there for 2 years. Filled her up and headed to Bethlehem P.A. to ride Posh. We got to Bethlehem and went and rode a library but later found out there a $1000 fine for being there. We got over to Posh, and man them guys have done an amazing job keeping those trails in perfect shape. I’ve never ridden anything like it. You sit up the top pick your line and just hold on, 20 ft sets are effortless. We all rode till dark and helped the guys tarp up for the coming rain and headed over to Penn skate to ride an indoor park. This place houses the old little devil bowl, definitely a cool experience riding that, so many lines. So far we have rode some amazing places, had some amazing steaks and having a hell of a time.
It is autumn here now and the scenery is amazing.
Until next time, peace

Yes is all started once again. These two guys Kie Ashworth and Tim Rose have made the trek to America to ride, party and cruse about. Expect to see some updates soon from them
After 8 days 16 BMX stunt shows the Freestyle Now squad ended the Perth Royal show with a banger of a show. The lunch time show was full of tricks from the squad all smashing out some radness. The Night time show was off the hook. Riders were jumping all over the place with nonstop action. On ramp 1, Dylan Schmidt and Michael Bayzand did backflips side by side, crazy stuff with no room for error. On jump 2, Jake Greaves and Tim Rose almost touched front wheels when Tim went for a flip and while in the 180 upside down mode Jake was taking off, so close but excitement all round. Ramp 3 the action was non stop with Bradie Yoemans throwing down some of the best tyre grabs in the biz. At the end of the show the riders from ramps 2 and 3 all hit up ramp 2 in a train mode and kept going onto ramp 1 where all 15 riders hit the ramp in one nonstop long train. Epic. After all was done it was time to celebrate with Royal BMX hosting an after royal show party.
Freestyle Now would like to send a big thanks to all the riders who participated in the BMX demos at the 2011 Perth Royal Show. Without all of the riders shredding like they did none of the insane action would have been happing. Props to you all.

Day seven of the Perth Royal show was so awesome. The Freestyle Now bmx stunt squad really dropped all the hammers during both the day and night shows as well as some mid demo street sessions. The lunch time show was just full of banger tricks that went down a treat for the crowds. Between the lunch and night show some of the crew went off to hit some streets for a bit more of a session. Then come the night time show the crowds at the show were massive and with that they were so loud. The guys from team FMX punched out some great motocross madness while the 15 rider strong crew from Freestyle Now hit some of the best tricks and some great all in rider trains over the jumps. The Friday night show can only be described with one word, Radabonzical.

Check out the video from last years show. Enjoy
Freestyle Now squad member Tim Rose forwarded some information in to enlighten everyone on what’s been going on lately.
“hey all, was out riding a few weeks ago with Kie Ashworth and I remembered this bank to fence I used to ride back when I was like 14 was siked to find it was still there gave it a few hits. It’s always a good feeling riding stuff you had completely forgotten about and use to hit all the time!! Went to this rail set up and smashed out a gap to icepick, loving the pegs at the moment.
Then the other weekend I had a really big night out with Kie and Jake Corless, think it was like the 1st weekend Kie got back from Adelaide. No sleep then trying riding doesn’t work. I have ridden this ledge a million times before but this particular day totally sketched out bailed over the bars, smacked my hands real good, always seemed to get hurt more crashing on small stuff.
In the next few days me, Kie and Jake are booking our flights to America, we will be leaving just after the Perth Royal Show and spending about 6 weeks over there. Can’t wait to fire up that jeep again.”
