The Leadfoot Festival crowd is in for an eye-boggling treat this year with Australia’s number one stunt rider Dave Mckenna coming over to display his skills on the driveway.
He will be putting on show that will defy what you imagine is possible on two wheels, riding a pair of Yamaha trick machines – a MT09 stunt bike and a MT10 drift bike.
Dave grew up in the country in Victoria, Australia, riding motocross bikes from an early age and he developed a passion for street bike stunt riding in his teens.
Performing professionally for 10 years, Dave regularly features at many major events across Australia and throughout Asia, where he lived full time for three years. He is renowned as Australia’s premier street bike stunt rider.
Dave is also Australasia’s first and only Yamaha backed stunt rider, his bikes of choice are the powerful Yamaha MT09 and the radical, world’s-only supercharged Yamaha MT10 drift bike.
