These are a selection of the photos I took at the Big Spin Freestyle BMX event that was held at the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill, East Sussex on the 1st of September 2007. Most of the year the staff at the De La Warr Pavilion seem to be moaning at the kids that go there with their Cycles and Skateboards, but for one day a year they welcome them! This great event is mostly people showing off their freestyle skill on BMX's, but you do get a few on Skateboard too. Some of the riders are amazingly talented and were doing some incredible freestyle tricks! This was my first time of attending the event, but would really like to go to more freestyle BMX events like this.

The event is organised by the De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill High School and The Source (A great shop for BMX's etc. based in Hastings). I would normally only expect to see freestyle shows like this in a big city, not a quiet town like Bexhill. I hope 2008 is even better!

	More great freestyle vert tricks being done on BMX's at the De La Warr Pavilion
	He did quite a few flips and loads of other incredible freestyle stuff, an amazing BMX rider
	I think all these freestyle BMX riders were from Bexhill High School, some of them were incredible
	I love this shot of the BMX and it was taken from the De La Warr Pavilion, but looks like its from the quarter pipe
	I think he must have had a few visits to the Red Bull tent for the free drinks they were giving away from the way his BMX was flying off the ramps!
	BMX freestyle jumping over one of the ramps that had been subtly labelled by "The Source"
	I had found a few great spots to take freestyle BMX photos from, but I wish I could have been up on the quarter pipe
	A great jump from one of the talented freestyle BMX riders down at the De La Warr

	It was a mostly BMX event, but there were a few people doing freestyle tricks on Skateboards too

If anybody hears of any really good freestyle BMX or Skateboard events please tell me, I am happy to travel to a city like Brighton or maybe even London for the right event.

UPDATE: Sadly I could not get to the 2008 event and did not hear about one since, if its happening again, please can somebody tell me!
