Full details of the show & what's happening can be found by visiting the BikeWise website :
To ‘Show us Yours’ all you have to do is either bring it along to Police HQ on the afternoon of Saturday 23rd July between 2pm & 5pm (Ask for Tony or Ali) or between 0900hrs & 0945hrs on Sunday 24th July (BikeWise Show)
The only stipulation we have is that you will not be able to take it off the site until the show ends (about 1700hrs) as the whole of the site is pedestrianized for the event and we cannot have motorcycles being ridden through the public !!
All you have to do is fill a form in which will be available on the day from PC’s Ali Bonar or Tony Richmond and there are many different classes with some lovely trophies to be won. So go on… share your pride & joy with us and lets see what ‘gems’ we have tucked away in the North East.

Police HQ, Aykley Heads, Durham…….. Sunday 24th July 2016
For the most exciting tricks and gravity defying leaps don’t miss the amazing bicycle stunt team.
The 3SIXTY display riders tackle obstacles with precise, calculated and effortless leaps.
Riders never appear out of control and actually deliver the show commentary through helmet microphones whilst riding.
Safety is important. These skills are achieved through hundreds of hours of dedicated and safe practice, a message reinforced throughout each 3SIXTY display.
3SIXTY riders are role models making cycle safety and helmet wear ‘cool’.
Founding member of 3SIXTY Ian Drummond has been a regular visitor to BikeWise over the years and once again we look forward to watching the skills that most of us can only dream of

TT Legend John McGuinness will be at BikeWise 2016.
Hopefully Batman & Robin have left the ‘Bat Cave’ with not a moment to lose & will avoid the Joker on their travels to BikeWise 2016 on Sunday 24th July.
The Dog Support Unit once again will be putting on a display so you can see the police dogs in action.
DogWise was not able to be run this year so the Dog Support team will be keen to show you the role of our four legged friends within the Police service, as well as giving us a good laugh with the fancy dress they sometimes appear in 
There will be a Paws Up stand where you can come and meet some of the team to find out more about the fund, how it can help retired dogs, how you could possibly re-home a retired police dog & of course purchase Paws Up merchandise!

Jamie Squibb, owner & team rider of Squibb Freestyle is travelling to BikeWise from his home in Devon to perform at BikeWise 2016 on Sunday 24th July.
Jamie rides a Kawasaki KXF450, is a 3X british champion, has ridden all over the world and has been showing off some of the best FMX tricks since 2005.
‘My riding background is I started riding at 6, I raced a bit of mx but not every weekend, I have ridden Enduro and trials, I just generally enjoy being out on bikes. I always loved jumps and by the age of 12 was in the digger building my own at home, from that point it's just progressed to where I'm at today.’
‘My favourite thing about freestyle is the feeling you get when you learn something new and getting to ride at really cool events like Arenacross, with good friends.’
‘The crowds definitely help loads, they make so much noise as soon as you ride in to the arena you can feel the energy and the atmosphere, they cheer super loud for every jump which makes you want to go bigger and bigger.’
