The Wheels for Cure Kids show at Fraser Cove is gaining international attention, says organiser Luke Price.

Drawn by likes of stars from the NITRO CIRCUS including FMX redbull Xfighters Champion, Levi Sherwood, star of the BMX Quadruple Back flip BMX Worlds record holder Jed Mildon, and Franklin Farm riders Nick Franklin, Mitch McHardy, Paul Langland, the crowd comes to see top riders doing jumps and stunts off the ramps.

Now some international riders are inquiring about joining in.

There was a German BMX rider last year and this year Japanese MX rider Taka Higashino expressed interest, says Luke.

'We've pretty much locked in the second week of January, it works pretty well with the athletes. There seems to be not many other events on in Tauranga or around the Bay," Luke says about the annual event at Fraser Cove.

'I don't know why that is but that's just good for the athletes because a lot of them don't have big events on. It just works well for everybody.

'The event's gathering momentum and interest. She's a pretty cool event, pretty special event.”

Talking to SunLive on Monday, Luke says he's unsure how high the riders were jumping above the Fraser Cove carpark, near the World's End Bar and Restaurant.

'You would clear powerlines easy.”

While the BMX and freestyle motocross riders took to the ramps, they had a guy called Nick riding freestyle stunts on a street bike.

'He's on the ground, low speed wheelies and skids, very talented,” says Luke. 'Every year, I think it gets bigger every year.

'At this stage we have raised $14,000. We will get a wee bit more yet. We are pretty bloody rapt with it, it's only six hours.

'We had a lot of the ambassador kids that Cure Kids have helped out.

'The ambassadors were really fizzing to meet Levi and Jed and all the big names. That makes it well worth going.”

It was a tough gig for Luke this year because he wasn't able to ride with the rest of the Franklin Farm crew.

'I've got a real bad neck at the moment, I've had major surgery. So it was hard for me to see it and not ride.”
