CRAZIEST FANS

Freestyle Kings Promoter and former professional FMXer Josh Hannah said, "South Africa has long been known as the home of action sports, with the craziest fans on the planet. When I started the Freestyle Kings Tour in 2021, it was always a goal of mine to take it to South Africa, and now it's happening, I cannot wait to entertain the South African fans with the biggest and best action sports shows that is taking FMX and BMX to new heights”.

The Tour will be headlined by International riders Ronnie Mac from the US, and the modern day Evel Knievel, Australia’s Robbie Maddison, as well as FMX World Champions Rob Adelberg and Pat Bowden, who will all be touring South Africa for the first time.

South Africa has long been a favourite destination for action sports athletes, who constantly chase adrenaline hits on and off the track, with Robbie Maddison saying "Getting a chance to go to South Africa and bring the best action sports stars on the Planet, we cannot wait to show South Africa what Freestyle Kings Live is all about. But I also can’t wait to finally explore South Africa and find some good times away from the dirt bikes.”

SA RIDER

Not content on bringing the best talent from Australia and the US, the Freestyle Kings Tour will also have a South African flavour to it, with Dallan Goldman from Johannesburg also joining the Freestyle Kings Tour.

"I've been so lucky, my dirt bike has taken me all over the world over my 15-year career, but there is no better crowd to perform in front of than the South Africans. They are crazy for BMX and FMX, and they haven't had a chance to see an international touring act in a long time. Freestyle Kings is coming in hot”, Goldman said.

"Freestyle Kings is a two-hour, non-stop night of thrills and spills for the whole family. We will sell you the whole seat, but you only need the edge," said the SA rider.
