'I like to go big.” That's how Jed Mildon describes his riding style.

The BMX rider, who is known for his stunts and thrills through Nitro Circus and other heart stopping shows, is just one of seven riders who will perform at the 2016 Wheels for Cure Kids.

The event is returning to Fraser Cove on January 16 to raise money for the Cure Kids Foundation.

Jed, who is nicknamed Warrior, was the first person to land the biggest trick in BMX history in 2011 when he successfully completed a triple flip – a game changer for his peers.

At the time, he was working as a welder and he convinced a local McDonald's to drum up the cash for the Guinness World Records application.

Video of his success immediately went viral, and it wasn't long before the biggest names in the game came calling. Jed remains a fan favourite at Nitro Circus shows around the world.

But Jed has been riding for longer than four years; he started his BMX career 15 years ago in Taupo.

'It was fun and a lot fresher than rugby. I played rugby for 13 years.”

A feeling of euphoria sweeps over the rider when his feet hit the pedals and he takes to the skies to do tricks some people only dream of.

'I've done more than 100 Nirto Circus shows on every continent in the world. Main (moment) would be first triple flip and quad flip on BMX.”

Jed says he loves landing tricks no one else dears to try.

People can check out Jed at the 2016 Wheels for Cure Kids charity event at Fraser Cove in January 16. It's a free event, but bring your wallets people. There will be kids' rides, Harley rides, raffles all day, and a charity auction plus RC demos from Traxxas.
