It’s not often a company reaches deep into their pockets to put on an epic FMX, BMX and Hip Hop demo for free as a thanks to the crew that have supported them. But that’s exactly what Seb and the crew from Valyside Apparel did at the very cool Valyside compound just east of Perth.

The compound was newly prepped for the big day with 6 dirt hits and two 75ft ramp setups plus a BMX rhythm section and a truck for hip hop acts like the Freek Styles and Downside to rap on.

What better way to spend Australia Day than riding with a big bunch of mates eh? Well that's how the South Queensland crew spent their Oz Day anyway at local FMX rider Adam Bayards place located not far east from Brisbane. It had been hot, wet and bloody humid for weeks but this time the summer monsoons stayed away, the sun came out and a sick ride session went down in stifling heat.

It was Rockinghams turn to join the Revolution as stop two of the Rev Tour once again featured high quality riding on a near perfect day for FMX.
Bike troubles plagued a number of the riders throughout the day but it didn’t stop Rob Adelberg, Josh Sheehan, Russ Lightfoot, Rob Clohessey and Luke Mulcahy from going nuts. The all ages gig at the start of the day was especially awesome with a truckload of kids screaming themselves silly at every opportunity.

In what is possibly a world first FMX show under the circus bigtop tent the Revolution Tour kicked off in Bunbury in awesome style. With first class FMX, sick bands, mini bikes and of course the Rev Babes it was pretty hard not to enjoy the show and I for one are really looking forward to the next two legs in Rockingham and Kalgoorlie.
