Jamie has been a two wheel fanatic since the age of 6, displaying a determination to get both wheels off the ground at any opportunity. As he grew he progressed to motorcross race bikes, their increased power and suspension allowed the possibility of getting seriously airborne. Inspired by the visual display of one or two world class motorcross riders, Jamie decided to follow suit - and put on a local 'jump' party for a few close friends. Soon afterwards, the first ever stadium supercross event was held in the UK. Jamie decided to have a go and suddenly found himself running head to head with all his heroes. He made his mark, coming runner up to the world champion in the interval 'freestyle jump' contest - and this, was his first ever public appearance!
The rest as they say, is history. Jamie soon became the UK's number 1 FMX rider and has represented Britain in Dubai, South Africa, Belgium, and many other countries, with extensive TV coverage throughout the world.
The Show is held at New Park, Brockenhurst from Tuesday 28th to Thursday 30th July. Buy tickets before 30th June and for every adult and senior citizen ticket bought you will be offered a free child's ticket worth £7.
Think about leaving your car behind and let the train take the strain - go to Brockenhurst mainline station and a pay-as-you-go shuttle bus service will take you right into the showground.
