Jez Avery, a legendary BMX and mountain bike stunt performer, tragically passed away following an accident on January 4, 2025.
The British entertainer and multiple record holder would go anywhere on this planet to perform his stunts!
The world of extreme sports has now lost one of its brightest stars. He was famed for his thrilling and fearless performances and was an entertainer who swept up the audience with his charisma.
He told stories on and about “two wheels,” far from what could be defined with just words.
Off tracks, he was a warm, friendly, kind, and generous person with an electrifying and contagious smile. He was a mentor, a role model, and a person who showed the world that dreams were worth chasing and limits were meant to be tested.
This magnanimous person has now departed from amidst us following an unfortunate accident.
His show “Jez Avery’s Stunt Show” left the audience spellbound. The show highlighted freestyle stunts, Quad bike acrobatics, audience interaction, and family-friendly performances.
His work spanned decades, where he demonstrated proficiency in multiple disciplines, including BMX, mountain biking, motorcycling, and quad biking.
He was a regular at major biking events, advocated for the growth of BMX and mountain biking, and helped with the promotion of the sport to elevate the sports to greater prominence.
