“Mate you have made our day, such a good show”

Dylan Schmidt has the best superwhips and he did many at the National 4×4 outdoors show in Melbourne.

Freestyle Now once again performed BMX stunt shows at the National 4×4 Outdoor show but this time at the Melbourne event. Freestyle now set up the BMX stunt show in a perfect location which enabled hundreds of spectators to watch the amazing performances. Over the three days there was great attendance at the National 4×4 outdoors show in Melbourne and the Freestyle Now BMX stunt shows were a massive highlight. Freestyle Now squad members Shaun Jarvis and Luke Tooze were joined by Western Australian show veteran Dylan Schmidt and Australian BMX legend Andrew Ahumada all of whom threw down some amazing stunts and show routines.

The three days were plagues by wet weather, but none of that stopped the Freestyle Now BMX stunt shows. Thursday night it pelted down with rain and come Friday morning the rain had gone and the sun was trying to come out. The show area slowly dried up in time for the first of the 5 shows to perform. Friday night again the rain came down but by Saturday morning it had once again gone and the area started to dry up. The threat of rain on Sunday was looming but to our joy it was only sunshine all day. It was perfect conditions for BMX stunt shows, blue skys, large noise making crowds and an awesome team of BMX stunt show riders. Lots of posters were signed and handed out to many spectators which brought even more smiles on faces.

Freestyle Now performed bmx stunt shows at the 2019 Australian Moto Grand Prix in Phillip Island in Victoria. Be sure to check out the video highlighting all of the radical experiences that we had at the Australian Moto Grand Prix and what the crowds witnessed.  This was the second time Freestyle Now had performed at the Australian Moto grand Prix and the third time at the Phillip Island venue. The first time was the 2017 Australian Moto grand Prix and the second time being the 2019 V8 Super series. Freestyle Now squad members Shaun Jarvis and Luke Tooze were joined by good friends and all round radical riders Andrew Ahumada and Alec Danelutti. The first day of the 2019 Australian Moto Grand Prix bmx stunt shows were great, with perfect weather conditions, unfortunately it was all downhill from there with Saturday and Sunday being horrendous weather conditions. There were extremely strong winds and intermittent rain down pours which hampered our efforts to perform the bmx stunt shows. We missed out on just 2 of the scheduled 12 bmx stunt shows, as we scaled back the shows to match the weather conditions. Freestyle Now performed at two different venues at the Moto Grand Prix. The first was the main location with our jump box set up and the second location was a smaller show with the use of just a small jump ramp. Freestyle Now came to roll out the rad and entertain the masses at the Australian Moto Grand Prix and that is what we achieved. When it comes to entertainment Freestyle Now definitely has you covered with a high entertainment value bmx stunt show. Make sure you check out our coming events page to see where the next Freestyle Now stunt shows will be going down.

To get the flatland component of the show sorted, Gonzalo Bellanti, the 2019 Australian bmx flatland champion Gonzalo Bellanti was in full effect. With the small kicker ramp brought in the air antics was given to none other than Australian legend Andrew Ahumada. Freestyle Now squadron leader Shaun Jarvis headed up the MC duties and got some show riding in as well. It was a pumping gig with a great sound system and such a receptive crowd. None of the Buzz Products employees knew Freestyle now was coming to throw down the radness so when we started up they were super stoked.

DOWNUNDERGROUND – AUSTRALIAN BMX FLATLAND CHAMPIONSHIPS – 2019

by on 22. Feb, 2020 in Bmx, Competitions, DownUnderGround, Flatland, Paul Chamberlain, Shaun Jarvis, Victoria

DownUnderGround, the 2019 Australian bmx flatland national championships took place in the home base of bmx flatland in Australia, Melbourne. On a nice Melbourne sunny day riders converged on the Melbourne Museum to compete against each other for the Australian bmx flatland champion. Bmx flatland riders from around Australia and the world converged on Melbourne to partake in one of the hardest forms of bmx riding, flatland. It was good to see a great turnout with a few international riders attending. The format was each rider having three runs, each up to two minutes long. The lowest score dropped and both remaining runs added together.

The weather was perfect and the riding was rad. This was the 11th year for DownUnderGround. Its a time when friends come together from all over Australia to ride, share tricks have good times and build the bmx flatland scene in Australia. DownUnderGround has a video contest that the points from go to the year end title. It’s a way to help get the edge over on other riders to help gain that Australian championship title.

The three most progressive beginner riders in Australia battled it out once again for the top three spots in the beginner class. In the beginners class heading into the contest it was Paul Griznic who had a great video entry and was sitting in first place. He didn’t ride as consistent as he would have wanted to and only took a 3rd in Melbourne. His progression is good though and its rad to see that passion. In Melbourne it was local rider David Rooney who ended up taking the win from Rusty Eylward-Pyko in the beginners. David was just a little bit more consistent than Rusty but both rode well. It was really good to see Reuben Pedlar progress so much over the past year. With his first in the video round and a third in Melbourne it was Paul Griznic who to the year end title in the beginners class. All three riders said they were keen to move up to the expert class for next year, we await to see.

In the expert class it was Philipp Frueh that took the win in true Philipp riding style. Second place went to Matt Spencer who rode really well. Third place when to Western Australian rider Shaun Jarvis. Fellow Western Australian rider Trent Karow had won the video round and took a 5th place in Melbourne. This put Trent and Shaun on equal points as Shaun took a 3rd in the video round and a 3rd in Melbourne. The way to work out who was the year end champion was a trick of. After 3 rounds it was Trent who got the judges approval for the win. Congratulations Trent.

1st place in the open class went to Heru Anwari – photo Stephen Pretty

The open class was tight between Argentinean rider Gonzalo Bellanti and Indonesian rider Heru Anwari. After the qualifying round both had scored 261 points, who was going to be first and second. Third place went to Sydney resident Paul Chamberlain who had a cracker first run with only one touch. To settle who was going to take first place it was down to a trick off. Gonzalo and Heru each had 30 seconds to pull their tricks. After the first round they judges could not decide, on with the second round. Still the judges could not decide. The third round was super tight with the judges taking some time to deliberate and finally the win was given to Heru. With a first in the video round and a second in Melbourne the year end title went to Gonzalo Bellanti.

DownUnderGround 11 was awesome. If you did not attend you either could not make it or you were abducted by alien creatures. Be sure to attend DownUnderGround 12. Thank you to the competition supporters Freestyle Now, Colony BMX, Sneaky Wholefoods, Anchor bmx,  ZTFFbmx , Penumbra Bmx.
