On Wednesday, Jan. 17, some of the biggest names in Supercross racing joined patients, parents and staff on the front lawn of Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital to watch freestyle motocross riders perform a ramp-to-ramp demonstration of heart-stopping tricks.

Now in its fifth year, the appropriately named “Big Air Kid’s Fair” is the most highly anticipated event on the hospital calendar. At 1 p.m. in front of Children’s Hospital, Steve Bauer, co-founder of Wonder Warthog Racing, introduced a group of visiting riders, including seven-time Supercross champion Jeremy McGrath, Team Honda’s Andrew Short, Sobe/NoFear’s Kevin Windham, and Josh Grant. Also attending was Miss Supercross, Brittney George, who handled some of the announcing duties.

Jeff Tilton and Ronnie Renner, two of the most talented freestyle riders in the world, again dazzled the crowd as they performed incredible tricks while hurtling through the air, mere feet away from the wide-eyed faces of patients and staff watching from the second floor viewing area.

After the jump demo, the riders split into two groups and toured the hospital, distributing loads of shirts, hats, pajamas, toys and other products generously donated by motorcycle industry leaders such as FMF, NoFear, Smooth Industries, Live Nation, Pro-Circuit, Troy Lee Designs, AlpineStars, Thor, O’Neal, and many others.

This year’s event was dedicated to the memory of Marty Moates, who passed away on Dec. 7.
