Athletic and daring riders from the FMX and BMX pro circuit wowed the crowd at Essar Centre Saturday afternoon.

The pros will put on another show beginning at 7:30 p.m. at Essar Centre Saturday evening, preceded by a pit party at 6 p.m., in which fans of all ages can meet the FMX and BMX stars for autographs and photos.

The FMX Tour was formed to tour Canada, the U.S., Mexico and Europe, the tour dating back to the 1990s.

The extreme sport is full of death defying stunts.

The FMX stars roared into Essar Centre on ramps, flew through the air and did back flips, coming close to scraping the arena's rafters and time clock before safely landing.

Tickets are on sale at Essar Centre box office.
