Young cyclists combined balance and agility when they took part in a bike stunt and pop a wheelie contest in Dockyard on Saturday.
The Pop-A-Wheelie Competition is the idea of Kendrick Zuill and Shawn Simmons, aka Mr Fotogenick, who both felt that more needed to be done for children to have an outlet in Bermuda.
There were be three categories in the contest — Best Tricks, an Obstacle Race and a Pop-a-Wheelie Race — with age groups from 10 to 12 and 13 to 15.
