The best show on earth
World famous, show of all motorcycle shows, The One Show. It's where it's at. It's where we were at. And it's where we added to the moto madness with our own ICON flare
Awakening the halls of Zidell with the music of our people
The One Show has it all from honky tonkin' party rockin' bands and then some, to beer, booze, and atypical cars amongst custom motorcycle builds. If you're into mild, this isn't the place for you. We get beyond wild.
And that's just what goes on inside. Outside, let's hear a round for the stunt shows!
Tearin' up the Zidell lot with Sean & Rob
The V-twin vs Sportbike event paints the tarmac with inline rev bouncing wheelies and smoked-out rubber. ICON's very own Sean Sets shows off his two-wheel stunting skills... um, scratch that, more like one wheel. Giving the unicycle's rebellious cousin a run around the block. Rob Carpenter responds by smokin' out the crowd with thunderous v-twin muscle.
FMX riders soar to the heights of the Ross Island Bridge
Click your heels, throw your body over your handlebars, and kiss your front fender if you love FMX stunts as much as we do!
The Idea came from humble beginnings, we swear.
A wise man once said, "Funny thing about motorcycles... when you get one, you want two. When you get two you want ten. Then one day you have ten motorcycles." Well, our intentions were to order one STOUT Boonie bike to be customized and modeled after our beloved Low, Down, and Shifty but somehow that turned into a fleet of 5 Boonies and a wild idea to let people race them... Ain't that funny?
Let's Go, Boonies Assemble!
We got our buddy Matt Stout of StoutMinis.com on the horn and ordered 4 more Boonie bikes for customization. We sent them out to folks that we knew could get down with our Boonie Bike Bonanza vibe. We gave them all an extremely short period of time to finish their builds, cuz we're jerks like that, but what they came up with was remarkable.
Boonie Bike Bonanza Builders-
Thor Drake // See See Motorcycles
Gary Inman // Sideburn Magazine
Carl & Silas Bjorklund // Super Rat
The boys at Steady Garage
And of course, saving the best for last, we the people of ICON make a total of 5 customized Stout Boonie Bikes.
Got a hankering for pint-sized punishment?
For seat time in our Boonie Bike Bonanza on these tiny terrors, all you needed was to join us in the ICON Pit with a helmet, a little mini bike wherewithal, and a craving for thrills - which was served up to both riders and spectators alike.
We had flat track racers, FMX stars, and even the boss hoss of The One Moto himself show up to try these babies out.
ICON Boonie Bike Bonanza track collaborator thanks goes out to:
Easy Rider Whiskey for outfitting our track with a trio of whiskey barrel chicanes.
MotoCorsa's Turn 2 provided an amalgamation of things to swoop through and avoid tetanus in turn two.
Poler camp stuff brought literally that, camp stuff, and a logjam rollover that on day one was found to be more of a launching pad than it was a roller. We had to trim the fat on that one for day two to keep our riders earthbound.
And lastly, J&P Cycles in collaboration with See See Motorcycles brought the giant road cone that kept our racers circling in bar-banging confusion while doubling as a hideout for photo-hungry influencers.

Motorcycle lover, and overall human extraordinaire
Mr. Allan Lane was there in his leather cowboy hat drip to keep the crowd pumped and evaluate how these racers felt whipping these customized boonies around the track.
Our prehistorically rad and chock-full of Dino Fury flagger was in tow helping to lay down the track code and keep spirits from extinction.
Every year we ask ourselves if this event can top the last, but as optimism would have it, it does. Somehow, it always f'n does. Once again, our fire will stay stoked until the next One Show.
