BMX rider and former The Bachelorette contestant Matt Whyatt said the tour is their “biggest yet”.

“The limits are getting pushed every week at the moment,” he said.

“We’re all learning world firsts, they can expect the biggest, craziest shows they’ve ever seen and we’re bringing our best tricks to Australia.

“I’ve been here before, it’s amazing, it’s huge.

“It’s a big open seating area and a lot of room for our massive ramps, we’re bringing our biggest ramps.”

Whyatt started riding when he was just 11 years old, but said it does have its challenges.

“It’s definitely something I dreamt of when I was younger, I grew up watching some action sports shows and competitions,” he said.

“For us it's a huge mental game, I’ve had some big injuries and a lot of time off the bike.

“We’ve all had our fair share of injuries, but then to come back and do this for 10, 12 years, it is a mental game and you need to be all in.”

The Nitro veteran added the experience on The Bachelorette has helped his career in the BMX arena.

“Being on the Bachelorette was a good experience, it was kind of cool to get that experience on TV, behind the camera and see how it goes,” he said.

“I’m hoping to bring my fans to that into my world here and enjoy the show.

“I’ve been pushing my BMX on my social platforms too and they seem to love it and hopefully it does drag them into our world.”

Tickets to the tour are available via Ticketek.
