Since it's inception
in 1986 the Freestyle Now bicycle stunt Squad has gone through many stages of
growth and change.
From the time of the first show the squad has performed to thousands of people
through out the state of Western Australia
in many different locations.
Over that time riders have come and gone but the main driving force behind Freestyle
now, Shaun Jarvis is still performing
in and managing the bicycle stunt squad. Some of the largest shows have taken
place at agricultural shows,
shopping centers, festivals, half time at basketball games, schools and horse
races all drawing large audiences.
A full list of shows can be found on the shows record page .The Freestyle Now
bicycle stunt squad is the longest running,
most experienced, fully complete and the only professional bicycle freestyle
stunt show in Western Australia.

The Manager and Producer

performing in bicycle stunt shows. The squad members are always willing to interact
with the audiences before and after
the shows. Professionalism and courtesy are always paramount. For a list of
the current squad members check
out the squad members page. At the end of every Freestyle Now show, the audience
is encouraged to approach the squad
members, interacting with them to answer questions about the stunt riding and
assist with more information about the
squad. There are oppitunities for anyone to ask for autographs and if they are
lucky enough they can also get a free poster.
We understand your
requirements fully and always work with you to achieve the most beneficial and
practical schedules.
We know what the audience likes and how to entertain them.
The show must go on but
before we can start a show we will need a suitably located power supply or access
to a supply.
This is essential to host our own public address equipment. The area needed
will depend on the type of show that you require.
Freestyle Now offers three types of shows.
Type 1. Complete
show including flatland, jumping and ramp riding. Either 30 or 15 or 10 minutes
in duration.
Type 2. Ramp and jumping show. 10 minutes in duration.
Type 3. Flatland show. 15 or 10 minutes in duration.
SHOW TYPE 1
The first is the complete Freestyle show. This show includes all the disciplines
of freestyle which are flatland, jumping
and ramp riding. Each complete Freestyle Now Bicycle Stunt Squad show can be
either 30 or 15 or 10 minutes in duration.
Our complete show is easily set up in full on any hard flat surface with an
area required of approximately 10 meters x 20 meters
with the added opportunity to discuss smaller venue sizes if need to be. Controlled
chaos is the only way to describe the
flow of the entertainment provided. This allows the content to be extremely
appealing and attention grabbing. The pace of the
shows is fast and action packed with theatrics and humor included.
The show opens with short bursts of action to dazzle the audience, pulling them
into attention. This then leads to a introduction
of the members and information about each riders equipment including their bikes
are run through, giving the audience a better
appreciation of what they are about to see. Critical safety issues are explained
as well before the main show starts.
After the introductions and openings the stunt squad launch into the fast paced
action of stunt riding which begins to amaze
the crowd. To add atmosphere there is backing music and a full commentary, both
of these keep our squad members and the
crowd amped and connected. The commentary lets the audience know what tricks
the riders are performing and also helps with
the interaction of the audience and riders.
During the show the riders alternate from ramp to flatland to jumping constantly
in either singular. double or triple routines.
There is always action on the go and the show never has a dull moment. Towards
the end of the show, the riders perform their
hardest and more complex tricks and routines and the end of the show culminates
in a spectacular finish.
SHOW TYPE 2
The second type of show is a ramp only show. This show includes jumping
and ramp riding only. It contains more riders
(no less than five) and is no longer than 10 minutes. This type of show can
be set up on any surface (dirt, grass, hard surface)
with an area of 30 meters x 3 meters. The ramp only show is put together is
the same way as the complete show.
The only change to this show format is that there is no flatland riding and
the riders take turns in jumping and riding the ramp
one at a time.
SHOW TYPE 3
The third type of show is a flatland only show. This style of show performance
contains flatland riding only and is either 10 or 15
minutes long and contains as many riders as needed for the length of the show.
The flatland only show still needs a hard flat
area no less than 10 meters x 10 meters. The size of the area governs the length
of the show and how many riders the show
performance needs to contain. The structure of the show once again is the same
as the complete show only there is no ramp riding.
The Freestyle Now Bicycle
Stunt Squad will give your audience an extreme performance never matched or
beaten. The shows have
been found to be appealing to a wide range of people from many walks of life,
not just for the young folk. All the shows that have
been performed to date all have been well received.
