twitterlinkedinmail

“This is crazy, we are doing BMX stunt shows in the rain”

Andrew Ahumada has some great superman seat grabs and this one was done with precession at the Bordertown spring festival and show.

Freestyle Now is no stranger to delivering jaw-dropping BMX stunt shows, and we recently performed at the Bordertown spring festival and show in South Australia. The Bordertown spring festival and show was buzzing with excitement as the audience eagerly awaited the Freestyle Now BMX stunt show. And when the riders took to the ramp, they did not disappoint. From start to finish, the riders delivered an unforgettable performance that left the audience in awe. The rain could not stop the radness from happening as we performed a few shows while the water fell from the sky. The level of danger went up a few notches but it was a long way to travel to let a bit of water stop the show. The BMX stunt show was filled with mid-air tricks, spins, and flips that showcased the incredible athleticism of the riders. Their precision and grace on two wheels were a sight to behold, and the audience couldn’t get enough. The riders fed off the energy of the crowd, and the interaction was just as important as the BMX show performance.

twitterlinkedinmail

Riding to school is important for your physical and mental health.

Freestyle Now squad members Kareece Furneyvall and Shaun Jarvis recently attended Mount Lawley Primary School for a BMX and scooter school presentation. The presentation focused on the importance of riding to school, being active, and wearing your helmet.

Kareece and Shaun are both experienced riders, and they shared their passion for BMX and scootering with the students. They talked about the benefits of riding to school, including the exercise and fresh air that students can get by riding instead of being driven. They also stressed the importance of wearing a helmet to stay safe while riding.

The presentation was a hit with the students, who were excited to see Kareece and Shaun perform some BMX and scooter tricks in the small assembly area. The duo demonstrated some impressive moves, which had the students cheering and clapping.

The message of the presentation was clear: riding to school is a fun and healthy way to start the day, but it’s important to do it safely. Kareece and Shaun emphasized the importance of wearing a helmet, and they encouraged the students to make sure that they have the right gear before they hit the road.

The Mount Lawley Primary School presentation was just one of many that Freestyle Now has conducted over the years. Freestyle Now is committed to promoting the benefits of BMX and scootering, and they work hard to encourage young people to get involved in these fun and exciting sports.

Overall, the BMX and scooter school presentation at Mount Lawley Primary School was a great success. The students had a blast watching Kareece and Shaun perform, and they learned some valuable lessons about staying safe while riding. If you’re a student, parent or teacher and you would like Freestyle Now to visit your school please get in contact.

Department of Transport Bike Love festival – BMX stunt shows

twitterlinkedinmail

Freestyle Now teamed up with the Western Australian Department of Transport for their bike love festival. They had been working with Shelly Primary School over a few months implementing a ride to school program. To finish up the program they had the students ride from the school to the Kent Street Weir Park where the City of Canning had just finished installing a new pump track. The students had the opportunity to have Freestyle Now coach them on the pump track on how to ride it safely, it was the first time many of them had been on a pump track. At the lunchtime break Freestyle Now performed BMX stunt shows for the students. It was great to have some Western Australian BMX legends perform in the shows with Ryan Aquilina, Dempsey and Michael Pidgeon. The weather was hot and so were the tricks. Performing in front of school children is always rad as they are so hyped and always keen to make lots of noise.

Helmet safety ain’t no joke – Be sure your helmet is a certified helmet for your safety

twitterlinkedinmail

Helmets save lives. Wearing a helmet at the skatepark is vital. Wearing the proper helmet is vital. Wearing the helmet properly is vital. Shaun Jarvis runs through helmet information that can either give you a trip to the hospital, stop your riding session for the day, have someone wipe your bum and feed you for the rest of your life, give you a bit of a headache, or let you keep on riding for the day. There is no point wearing an ice cream container with padding, it’s not going to do much. Remember your choice can not only affect you but those around you in the moment and in the long term. Safety never takes a holiday so be sure you have the right helmet that fits right.

Australian’s Got Talent – Freestyle Now stunt show

twitterlinkedinmail

Freestyle Now took to the Australian’s Got Talent stage with pure raw freestyle energy.

Freestyle Now got to perform a stunt shows for Australia’s Got Talent auditions. We assembled a rad crew consisting of Freestyle Now squad members Shaun Jarvis and Luke Tooze along with Gonzalo Bellanti, Chris James, Matty Ceravolo, Zeth Bennett and Nathan Philps. The crew hit the AGT stage with pure raw freestyle energy. Filming of the show took place in Sydney at the end of June 2022 and unfortunately, we did not make it to the next round. There were many challenges around the set up on stage, difficult blind run up, challenging run off and a full change to the performance routine due to having to make the jump smaller, which was a challenge in itself to work that one out. We managed to run through the show routine only twice. Once on the set up outside which was perfect conditions and once on stage. Had we had more stage rehearsal time then who knows our performance might have been tighter. We rolled out the rad and made people stoked and motivated, we fulfilled what has been our main goal for the last 35 years. Big thanks to AGT for getting us on the show, we all had a blast. The on-air audition was cut up a bit and did not show the entire 8 minutes, but what was shown we are stoked on. Thanks to the team of performers we had, you all are rad.

 

Be sure to check out our performance which aired on Channel 7

Freestyle Now BMX stunt shows – Carine High School presentation

twitterlinkedinmail

 

 

Freestyle Now attended the Carine Senior High School for a full day of motivational presentations. The presentations focused on resilience, something all BMX riders will know. Achieving goals is challenging, you have to be focused. There are many hurdles and barriers that can slow you down from achieving your goals, be it with BMX tricks or just in life achievements. You need to know how to jump over the hurdles and push through the barriers. Throughout the course of the day Freestyle Now squad members Shaun Jarvis, Luke Tooze and Josh Garwood not only did some BMX stunt riding but also spoke of their personal barriers they had to overcome with injuries to keep on achieving their goal. Determination is what is required to achieve and each person has a different level of determination, but it’s their determination and they own it. Each person tackles achieving goals differently, and it’s how to go about pushing yourself to reach them goals that creates your resilience. All of these things BMX teaches you.
