It wasn鈥檛 just the dirt bike engines that were making noise in Penticton on Friday afternoon.
A busy crowd at Okanagan Lake Park was on edge to see Canada鈥檚 top motocross riders show off their best tricks along Lakeshore Drive on Aug. 5.
The four participants revved up their engines, including two-time national motocross champion and Vanderhoof resident Jeff Fehr, and the 30-minute display of extreme stunts in the Okanagan heat would then go by in a blink.
The roars from the crowd didn鈥檛 stop. Even the pre-show event that included a scooter competition on the Peach Fest ramps received acclaim from the audience.
Winnipeg鈥檚 Jordan Gledhill, Chris Nolan from 琉璃神社 and an eight-year-old rider, joined Fehr in making Friday鈥檚 show come to life.
Fehr is recognized as the first Canadian to do a backflip on a motorbike.
Three of the riders were responsible for dazzling the crowd with their high-flying moves in a more than 300-metre space while covering 80 feet of distance in the air.
The Mega Motocross event also appeared at Peach Fest on Wednesday and Thursday, with Friday at 4 p.m. the riders鈥� last showtime slot of the week.
Friday鈥檚 aforementioned scooter competition featured world-renowned rider Dejion Taylor, who made the trip from Long Beach, Calif. for the occasion.
Peach Fest concludes on Sunday night when British piano man Ben Waters takes the stage at Okanagan Lake Park to put a wrap on the festival鈥檚 75th birthday.
