Another lunchtime, another lunchtime entertainment show at the Main Stage. Broke FMX’s freestyle motocross display featured two daredevil riders doing moto-aerobatics. With the aid of a 4-metre-high ramp, the riders reached up to 10-metres at the peak of their stunts. Poacher’s MC Robbie White warmed up the crowd with oggie oggies and Mexican waves, as the Broke team set up. Scouts and Guides, including Junior jammers, took their places.
After a few warm-up jumps, to check that all was in order mechanically, the pair performed jumps while taking different poses. In the crowd, 1st Cranwell (RAF) Cub Scouts, were giving a trick-by-trick commentary to each other. “The next trick’s going to be a flatspin!”, predicts Miles. “Where’s the sparks and backflips?”, shouts Theodore. “I think he’s just making us nervous, so we’re ready for the big finale”, replies Miles.

One by one, the riders upped the ante, with more and more spectacular manoeuvres, including ‘no hands’, ‘no feet’, and most impressively the ‘superman’. Eventually, with the spectators sufficiently primed, the backflips began.
”Oh a backflip!” shouts Joseph, 27th Lincoln Scout Group, Carnival Fest, adding “they’re very good at what they do”. “This is all extraordinarily thrilling!” says Sam from the same group. “I didn’t think they would get that high!” admits Molly, Sleaford Division Guides, Carnival Fest. “This was the best lunchtime show”, says Jess from the same division.
All of the lunchtime entertainment is being live streamed. Check out todays here:
