TMA Bucks' BMX Stunt Show Rockets Bike Safety Into Holland Middle School

Back‑to‑school season got a turbo‑charged start at Holland Middle School when the Community Traffic Safety Program of TMA Bucks rolled in a BMX stunt show that left students buzzing. The event, held in the school’s gym, was more than just fireworks on two wheels – it was a hands‑on lesson in staying safe while having fun.

Professional riders from Dialed Action Sports took the floor, launching off ramps, grinding rails and weaving through obstacles. Between the high‑flying tricks, the cyclists paused to point out the tiny details that keep a ride safe: snug helmet straps, proper bike fit, and looking both ways before crossing any path.

“Starting the school year with a BMX bike safety event is a great way to remind students that safety should be part of every ride,” said David Walter, deputy director of TMA Bucks. He added that the blend of excitement and education helps kids form good habits early – something the program hopes will stick long after the applause fades.

The show was made possible by a Transportation Alternatives Set‑Aside grant, which funds community‑focused safety projects. Thanks to that backing, the school received a free, high‑impact program that combined the thrill of extreme sport with the seriousness of traffic safety.

Students left the gym not only cheering but also a little wiser about why helmets matter. As one seventh‑grader put it, “It’s cool to see the tricks, but now I know I should always wear my helmet – it’s part of the ride.”
