FMX Stunt Show Experience the thrill on land as the 2026 Yarrawonga Powerboat Spectacular brings elite Australian FMX talent to the foreshore. Jacko Strong, Ben Richards, and Tom Richards will deliver explosive, world‑class freestyle action as the event’s headline on‑ground entertainment.

FMX on the Water’s Edge brings three generations of Australian freestyle motocross to Lake Mulwala for a high‑octane showcase. Jackson “Jacko” Strong leads as the sport’s great innovator, with multiple X Games records, world‑first frontflips, and his signature “Jack” body varial, backed by years of progression at his legendary 20,000‑acre training compound. Alongside him is Ben Richards, known for his technical precision, big‑air flip variations, and international results including X Games medals and Nitro World Games podiums. Completing the trio is Tom Richards, one of Australia’s fastest‑rising FMX talents. From riding at Jacko’s compound at age eight to turning pro in 2024, Tom has built a reputation for fearless style, explosive tricks, and relentless progression. Together, these three riders deliver the very best of Australian FMX, innovation, mastery, and next‑gen power, right on the water’s edge.
