Yesterday's assembly was fantastic. The staff, kids, and parents loved every minute of it. The message was great, and the kids at our school talked all day about the "bike tricks". As a principal, I'm always hesitant about bringing outside presenters on campus, but your group was exactly what principals hope for. Your presenters set up everything themselves and no extra work on our school staff was needed. When I asked the presenters to sign in at the office, they did so willingly. Thank you for bringing your awesome energy to our campus yesterday!

I highly recommend Forward BMX! The kids at our school absolutely loved them! We heard many cheers for the teacher volunteers they called up and for their amazing stunts. It was a very engaging and motivating experience for all.

I have taught for 25 years. This was by far the best assembly we have ever had. Talk about enthusiastic!! Those BMX riders were having the time of their life.

This was a fantastic school assembly!  Our students and teachers were electrified by the awesome tricks and inspiring message.  Safety and history were also covered.  Very interesting and informative and, most of all, super entertaining!  Don't miss this assembly!  We highly recommend it!!

Doug and Zach performed for our students with multiple disabilities, and they were a huge hit!  Personable, professional, and LOTS of fun, their show grabbed and maintained the attention of all our students.  So many staff and students told me how much they liked the assembly — in fact, one staff member commented that she had never seen one of her students so excited and talkative about an assembly!  Their passion was evident and their message of perseverance and self-motivation was clearly conveyed within an exciting performance!

Forward did an assembly for our school to close out a month long schoolwide study of The Mouse and the Motorcycle. It was FANTASTIC! The presentation was wonderful, the guys were super accommodating, and even though we had to cancel our first show for a snow day we were able to rearrange and everyone was super nice. Our kids are still talking about it!

This was an incredible assembly that focused on bike safety, practicing to achieve your goals, and surrounding yourself with positive people that help you achieve your best! Teachers loved it! Kids loved it more!

The BMX assembly was so much fun! The kids enjoyed it and it had an educational message about bike safety. The two riders also discussed the years of training, practice, and hard work it took for them to become good at performing tricks. On another note, Doug was very flexible and accommodating when the weather did not cooperate for our scheduled show and we were able to proceed with the show later in the day. Definitely happy we booked this assembly and will definitely bring them back again in the future!

Doug and Zach were professional, yet personable, and LOTS of fun! Our special needs students loved the performance, and it encouraged communication from some students who are often challenged when trying to express themselves.

The Forward team provided an amazing show and an even better message! Their team of professionals not only wowed the students with their stunts, but also brought a message of positivity in decision making and academics. I will definitely use this group in the future to implement bike safety and promote physical health and good decision making with my students.

I want to extend a sincere thank you on behalf of all of our students and staff. We thoroughly enjoyed the performance and it was, by far, one of our best assemblies. Students were very excited and also received a positive message from you guys. Your comments about passion for your work, remaining drug-free, and bike safety were greatly appreciated. Again, thank you!

Forward wow'd our students and teachers - here's what they had to say:

​

“They inspired the students to think about taking something you have a passion for, perfecting it with lots of hard work, and sharing it with others.”

​

“I appreciated their lesson and example of doing BMX with safety in mind.” Manhattan Catholic Schools Teacher

​

One Kindergartener said, “It was good!  I liked the flips the best!!”

​

2nd Graders - “I liked to watch them do all the cool tricks, especially the flips.” 

 

3rd Graders – “Wow, I wish I could do that.”

​

5th Graders – “I really liked it it was so cool now that i saw it i want to be like them i loved the music and i was so loud my favorite thing was where they did the back flips on the ramp and the tail i liked everything it was amazing. i loved them-- best Assembly we had all year in my opinion.”

 

Doug, Hunter, and Joseph are wonderful to work with - they did all the heavy lifting and set-up/tear down; friendly and accommodating for students to ask questions after the show.  Will get them back and hopefully for an outdoor show so we can see higher flips!!
