YOU are invited to send a photographer / reporter / camera crew to a photocall at The SECC, Glasgow (on Friday 15 April 2011 at 9:45 for 10:00) to launch the Scottish Bike Show, acknowledged as Scotland’s first consumer bike show, which runs from Saturday 16 to Sunday 17 April 2011.
What: For a taste of what’s to come at The Scottish Bike Show on 16 and 17 April, two BSD BMX stunt team riders, UK Champions Kriss Kyle from Stranraer and Chaz Mailey from Dumbarton, will be performing gravity-defying aerial manoeuvres set against the backdrop of Glasgow’s dramatic cityscape.
They will be using a custom ramp built especially for the show by Unit 23 skatepark.
The tricks will include tabletops, tailwhips and Kriss’s speciality move, the flair, a 180-degree backflip. Kriss (who is also sponsored by Nike 6.0) and Chaz are two of the top riders in the UK right now and travel worldwide representing their sponsors and Scotland.
Rowan Mackie from Magdala Media Ltd, organisers of the inaugural Scottish Bike Show, will be available for interview, together with the BMX stunt riders.
