If you love the sound of roaring engines, heart-stopping stunts, and jaw-dropping tricks, you’re in for a treat. The Bolddog Lings Freestyle Motocross Team is making a much-anticipated return to the 2025 Driffield Show, thanks to the continued support from local sponsor GSC Grays. Whether you’re a motorsport fanatic or just someone who enjoys an exciting day out, this show promises to keep you glued to the edge of your seat.
The Bolddog Lings are back – Bigger and bolder than ever
You know when a band announces a comeback tour, and you just have to be there? Well, that’s what the Bolddog Lings are to the motocross world. This isn’t just any stunt team – they’ve got the largest, most advanced landing ramp in the world. Yep, the world!
This is the same ramp that’s been used by legends like Nate Adams (the world’s best freestyle rider) and the daredevil himself, Robbie Madison. If you’ve watched Top Gear Live Tour or caught their insane stunts on Britain’s Got Talent, you know exactly what’s coming – and if you haven’t, trust us, you’ll want to see this.
Stunts that’ll make you forget to breathe
So, what makes this show so unmissable? Imagine a motorbike soaring over 75 feet of thin air, reaching heights of 35 feet. That’s basically as high as a double-decker bus stacked on top of another. Now picture the rider letting go of the handlebars, flipping their body around the bike, or hanging mid-air with no hands or feet on the bike at all. Crazy, right?
Expect to see mind-boggling tricks like:
- ‘Look back heart attack’ – trust us, it’s as wild as it sounds.
- ‘Cliff hanger’ – the rider literally hangs from the bike.
- ‘Kiss of death’ – where the rider extends themselves fully above the bike.
- ‘Dead body’ – yep, they lie flat like they’re… well, you get the picture.
And the best part? The riders give you a live play-by-play while pulling off these stunts. It’s like listening to your mate describe a rollercoaster ride while they’re on it.
Meet the stars behind the helmets
This year’s Bolddog Lings team is bringing the best British talent. Leading the pack is Dan Whitby, the UK’s first rider to backflip a four-stroke motocross bike. He’s not just a daredevil – he’s also the team manager. Alongside him is the super stylish Samson Eaton (known for his slick moves) and rising star Arran Powley, who’s being tipped as the next big thing in freestyle motocross.
And guess what? You don’t just have to watch them from the sidelines. Head over to the Bolddog Lings interactive stand, right next to the collecting ring, and you can meet these legends in person. Snap a selfie, grab an autograph, and learn all about what it takes to defy gravity on two wheels.
From the big screen to Driffield
If you’re thinking, “Hey, these guys seem familiar,” you’re not wrong. Apart from performing at some of the biggest shows in the world, the Bolddog Lings have even made it to Hollywood! They featured in Captain America, so yeah – they’re kind of a big deal.
Dan Whitby, team manager and one of the top freestyle riders in the UK, puts it perfectly:
“It’s more than just freestyle. It’s a non-stop show that will entertain everyone from off-road enthusiasts to the general public. It’s a must-see part of any festival and is continually growing in popularity as the awareness of FMX increases.”
