BMX show bound for Simpson
WORLD-RENOWNED BMX flatland rider, circus artist and storyteller Scott Hone will bring his thrilling BMX Trick Bike Show to Simpson next week.
Corangamite Shire mayor councillor Kate Makin said the family-friendly spectacle fuses world class athleticism, contemporary circus and physical comedy with a rock soundtrack by musicians from Circus Oz.
“Scott is known for his background in flatland BMX which involves stunts where there are no ramps, jumps or grind rails,” she said.
“The performance tells his personal story of growing from a child learning bike skills to a professional artist appearing on stages around the world.
“The creative team describes the show as ‘focusing on themes of perseverance, resilience and experimentation, supported by an original live soundtrack’.
“It’s a family-friendly show that will inspire the audience with its heartfelt story about perseverance, resilience and believing in yourself.”
Community members are invited to a free barbecue lunch at 12noon before the show starts at 1pm.
The event is free but families are asked to register for catering purposes at tinyurl.com/CSC-BMX2026.
The event will take place on Thursday, April 16 at Jaycees Park in Simpson.
