COUNT on the HJTV Entertainment fraternity to host an excellent show, and that’s exactly what they did last Sunday evening when they hosted the 2014 leg of Jamzone Bikers Fest.

Festivity was already in the air since around 16: 00 hrs as fans began arriving at the National Park in large numbers. The stands were packed to capacity by18:30 hrs when the MC for the evening, Kirk ‘Chow Pow’ Jardine, signalled the imminent start of the event.
The excited crowd cheered as the delegates of the 2014 Jamzone International Pageant arrived, led by the newly-crowned Guyanese queen, Soyini Fraser. They also gave a resounding applause in appreciation of the presence of overseas-based Guyanese songbird, Lisa Punch.

This mega event was opened in fine style by a pretty lass on a bicycle followed by our own Guyanese ‘Flying Stars’. Bringing up the rear were the international riders and stuntmen from the USA Pro Impact Stunt Team.
The Flying Stars team did an excellent job as they showcased bicycle stunts they learnt over the years from the international acts that come to the annual Jamzone Bikers Fest. With great skill they executed ‘flying acts’, the ‘willie’ and many more stunts associated with biking.
Wind Jammer Hotel of Kitty, Georgetown, in a kind gesture donated US$50 for the member of the team who could execute the best ‘willie’ stunt on a bicycle. This feat was won by ‘Marlon’ of Charlestown, Georgetown.
Then there were prizes to be won in the ‘Slow Race’ which dictated the winner being the last man to cross the finish line. The riders were tasked with riding really slow but they could not pedal backwards or ‘stickle’ their bicycles in one position as some would have loved to do. This race was won by the talented Leslie Mingo who also won himself US$50.
Then the crowd had the time of their lives when the MC dared those on roller blades to jump over him as he squatted flat on the National Park tarmac. Luckily each skater successfully completed this feat without any mishaps. The audience held their breaths when the skaters were then tasked with hopping over three motorcycles lined up together and while most of the riders backed out, the two who entered did so successfully. Prizes for this segment were donated by the R & R Consultant’s entity.
The Dirt Bike race was very entertaining even though there were only three contestants and the crowd gasped in suspense as they sped around the arena at alarming speeds.
Loud was the applause for the overseas stuntman, ‘Dan’ when he soared through the air repeatedly on his motorbike, executing a number of thrilling manoeuvres.
The Vehicle Sound Off was very entertaining as well as Junior Bacchus, Miracle Optical, Team Wrecker (Ramchand Auto Body Works and Wrecking Service) and Transpacific ‘Avengers’ blasted sounds from 40, 000, 60,000, 96,000 and 120,000 watt sound systems respectively.
Then in came popular Character Dancer, Ivelaw ‘Granny’ Campbell and the audience went wild as he showcased several hilarious dance routines to dancehall hits like ‘One Drop’ and many others. He was soon joined by his ‘Big Sista Rogie’ dance partner who actually showcased some amazing stunt riding on a bike belonging to one of the international riders.
The riders kept the audience entertained as they engaged in games like ‘Musical Chairs’ and others that highlighted Guyanese folklore. The hot babes on the bikes accentuated by smoke effects were totally enthralling.
The events that followed were totally enthralling, leaving the fans beaming with satisfaction.
