This sport is of interest to all ages, men and women, boys and girls. Sports officials agree “BMX flatland is the toughest form of bicycle riding and one of the most skill intensive sports in the world today”. Perfection On Wheels will be at the downtown Veterans Day parade to entertain all, and introduce this sport to those who are unfamiliar with it. BMX flatland freestyle came out of the 80's BMX scene and has grown from who does the longest wheelie to stringing several different much more difficult tricks together in a non stop routine that can last as long as 2 or more minutes. This form of bicycle riding does not require any ramps or special equipment other than a BMX bicycle with axel pegs and a flat surface to ride on, making it fairly easy to get into. Also being fairly portable this form of personal expression is the perfect medium to add to television commercials, videos and film. Recently BMX flatland freestyle has been featured in several television commercials for such companies as Mountain Dew and Burger King as well as music videos and movies.
The parade starts at 12:30 PM at the corner of Webster Street and Kentucky Street in downtown Fairfield. The parade follows Kentucky Street toward Pennsylvania Avenue and turns left on Taylor St. then follows Taylor St. for two blocks where it turns left on Texas St. The parade follows Texas Street to the intersection of Texas St. and Washington St. then turns left on Washington where it ends on the corner of Washington and Tennessee.
Featured riders will be Rick De Laney and XGames veteran Wayne Seigmund, both local flatland pros. Wayne Seigmund who has been doing BMX shows and competitions for the past 19 years has been seen in competitions on ESPN. Rick De Laney has been competing for 4 years with the last 2 concentrating on television and movie appearances. Most recently ”Gone but Not Forgotten” and “Her Minor Thing”. Both Wayne and Rick now ride for Perfection on Wheels doing anti-drug, alcohol and smoking shows in schools all over northern California
