Get riding or just watch the action

If you’re looking to get on two wheels yourself while at the show, there’s plenty of opportunities to do just that with hundreds of bikes available to take on demo rides around the dedicated test track.

Younger riders have their own dedicated riding and skills practice area too in the form of the Hope Academy Kids' Test Track. Here children can try everything from balance bikes to 26in wheeled bikes and take on obstacles such as see-saws, raised planks and small drops — with Hope Academy staff on hand to assist if needed.

If you want to step it up a few notches, there’s also the Fasttraxx pump track to try out. This modular track consisting of humps and berms is designed to be ridden without pedalling. For the uninitiated, Fasttraxx team riders will be alongside to help with advice as you ride. Though, if you’d rather sit back and simply watch the proceedings, three sets of races will take place on the pump track each day.

Arguably, the biggest spectacle at the show will be the Extreme Bike Battle. Featuring a fusion of BMX and MTB riding, here you’ll be able to witness all kinds of aerial stunts, flatland tricks and loads more radical action. As well as watching the pros, you’ll also have the opportunity to get involved yourself during the many skills sessions running each day.
