With over 40 years of service to the BMX and wider action sports community, Shaun Jarvis is recognised nationally for his immense contributions to community. Freestyle Now’s own Shaun Jarvis has been officially inducted into the Australian BMX Hall of Fame, a recognition of more than four decades dedicated to BMX.
Shaun’s BMX journey began as a 12-year-old, standing on a hill watching local kids send it over dirt jumps. That moment sparked a lifelong passion. From pushing a wheelbarrow through the rain to build tracks in his hometown, to racing at Marmion and Wanneroo, Shaun’s early years set the foundation for a career that has become legendary.
Today, Shaun is Australia’s oldest professional BMX rider. He’s still riding, still showing rad, and still teaching rad — with over 1,670 stunt shows performed across 450 locations, 381 competitions organised, and countless hours spent coaching and mentoring.
Reflecting on his journey, Shaun said: “I see my life as a chain, with many links, all revolving around that one sprocket called BMX. Each link is a story, a connection, a memory — and this Hall of Fame induction is another link I’ll carry with me forever.”
