HOLLAND, PA — Bikes were flying through the air as professional BMX riders performed jaw-dropping stunts before an audience of elementary school youngsters while underscoring a message of bike and helmet safety.
The Bucks County TMA's Community Traffic Safety Program partnered up with Dialed Action Sports recently to bring the thrill show to students at the Maureen Welch Elementary School in Churchville and the Holland Elementary School in Holland.
Through thrilling BMX demonstrations that turned the world upside down, the event underscored safety with the students who hung on every word and marveled at every stunt.

“From classroom lessons to high-flying BMX stunts, our bicycle safety outreach this school year with Council Rock showed students that smart riding skills and safe choices can be both educational and exciting,” said TMA Bucks project coordinator Nicole Rodowicz. “The journey ended with an unforgettable reminder that safety is not just something we learn but something we practice every day.”
Made possible through the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission’s Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside grant funding, the initiative provided a free, engaging educational experience that merged thrilling stunts with safety awareness, such as the importance of always wearing a helmet.
