The Squibb Freestyle FMX Stunt Display Team

Beach Motocross Weekend this year is 10^th & 11^th October –And this year we are going bigger than ever with a fantastic thrill a minute Saturday afternoon entertainment programme.

As well as main raceday on the Sunday –when over 200 motocross bike riders will take to the beach, Weymouth & Portland Lions in partnership with Purbeck Motocross Club have drawn up a fantastic programme of free entertainment for Saturday afternoon. Hot news is that thanks to the generous sponsorship of the Waterside Holiday Group, local developers The Imago Developments Ltd a top UK Stunt Team has been booked to appear!

So the programme for Saturday afternoon looks like this:

• Weymouth’s Odyssey Majorettes
• Gorillaman will also be entertaining the crowds on (and sometimes off!) his Quadbike –on both Saturday & Sunday afternoons.

He will be taking on Weymouth’s own Cuddly Lion – so some big fights/ good fun should take place!

• There will be a motocross demonstration as a taster for Sundays big event.
• A display by local Junior motocross Champion Vinnie-Ray Guthrie
• Motorbike themed music on the Esplanade PA

The star of the show is Jamie Squibb and his stunt display team doing 2 sessions on the beach launching themselves from their mobile ramps. We welcome Jamie back to Weymouth –he amazed us last year with his death defying loops. He brings a larger team for an even longer display this year.

   

• An added attraction this year is ‘Bartlett’s Beach Buggy’. These respected local Motor engineers and competition drivers will be offering rides on their amazing beach buggy. This will be your only chance to have a car ride on Weymouth’s golden sands –so take the chance! –All takings are to Lions charities!

• Also new this year is a motorbike rally at The Clock on Sunday. We are working with the organisers of Weymouth Motorbike Night who will be organising a rally for all motorbike enthusiasts to coincide with the main Motocross races on Sunday afternoon.
• We can also now confirm that other attractions on the Esplanade on both days will include:
• The Army Cadets Climbing wall
• Bernard Weldon’s Childrens Rides
• The Army Reserve Recruitment Team from Bovington Barracks
• A host of stalls selling everything from hog roast to curry wraps and coffee to pictures!
• Charity stalls including Weldmar, Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance and The National Trust
• An added attraction this year is a rally by the ‘Thursday Night crowd’ of motorcyclists led by Brian Coombes at The Clock on Sunday afternoon. So if you like your bikes shiny and chrome rather than sand covered come on down and see who and what is parked up!
