ESTEVAN - Members of Global FMX showcased their abilities for people in the Estevan area during a pair of performances Saturday at Affinity Place.
Five freestyle motocross riders and two freestyle snowmobile performers entertained the audience with their jumps. One of the dirt-bike riders was just nine years old.
The Wa-Wa Temple Southeast Shrine Club brought Global FMX to Estevan as a fundraiser for the Shriner’s Hospital for Children in Montreal, which has assisted families from the Estevan area in the past.
Riders would zip into the arena, ride up a ramp and fly through the air, often performing tricks while midair, and then land in designated areas to applause.
The snowmobiles were modified to be ridden on the ramps and arena surfaces.
The first half of the show saw them perform a stunt that they drew from a hat. After an intermission, each of the riders performed three stunts.
A Wet ‘N’ Wild show was supposed to be in the forecourt of the Estevan Leisure Centre on Saturday as well, but they had to cancel due to truck issues.
The next edition of the Mercury will have more on this story.
