## Biography

Blake Hicks is a professional BMX Flatland rider. Cirque trained & performer bred. His unique skills combined with electrical knowledge drove him to create his one-of-a-kind LED Bike Show. He started riding as a hobby in his childhood at 18. With the debut of his bike at EDC 2011 in Las Vegas to over 110,000 attendees, Blake’s promo video went viral on YouTube and since then he has continued to push his act to newer heights. His unique act engages everyone young and old as he turns the standard bike we all grew up with into a spectacle everyone enjoys.

Off the floor, Blake is a burner — he runs a Burning Man camp and spends his spare time designing LED art cars for the playa.

## FAQ

### What is the LED Bike Show?

A BMX flatland act by Blake Hicks on a fully programmable LED bike, performed in a matching LED suit. The bike and suit light up and change color in sync with the routine, so the act is fully self-lit. It has been booked for NBA and WNBA halftimes, EDC Las Vegas, Muse music videos, corporate events and festivals.

### How long is the show?

The featured performance is a 3–5 minute choreographed act. The ambient performance is roaming riding through the crowd, booked as 4 × 15-minute or 3 × 20-minute sets (20–60 minutes total). Many events book both.

### How much space does the LED Bike Show need?

A flat, smooth, dry area of at least 25 × 25 ft (8 × 8 m). Hardwood courts, sealed concrete, stage decking and ice-rink covers all work. Carpet, grass and gravel do not.

### What lighting, sound and power does the venue need to provide?

Lighting: blackout or house lights down is best; no follow spot is needed because the act is self-lit. Sound: a 3.5 mm or XLR feed to the house PA; Blake supplies the music track. Power: none on the floor; one standard outlet backstage for charging.

### Can the LED Bike Show perform in daylight or outdoors?

Yes. The flatland routine stands on its own in daylight for fairs, parades, school assemblies and outdoor festivals; the LEDs simply have the most impact after dark.

### Where is Blake Hicks based, and does he travel?

Blake is based in Las Vegas, NV and performs worldwide. The bike flies as checked baggage, so no freight is required. He has performed in 14 countries.
