Since 1995, Thrill has built over 2,000 kids bmx stunt bikes with the assistance of socially responsible corporate teams in Australia. With 20 years of experience and with the assistance of our corporate partners we have made a positive impact to disadvantaged kids. By giving them the a vehicle to independence and huge smiles as they experience the freedom of riding their very own bike.

Some of those kids have become excellent competitive riders or just love mucking about at a local park or using sustainable transport commuting to school, university and work. We are all delighted to be able to partner and support Variety The Children’s Charity. We are wishing all the Sydney to Hobart riders young and older a safe n brilliant ride.
