Whip Industries is a world class, professional high excitement extreme sports show coming to the Edenhope Show in 2009. The show consists of highflying tricks performed on mini motorbikes bikes over specially designed jump ramps that send the riders into the air where they perform some of the biggest and most up to date tricks. This is no ordinary demo, the Show is fully rehearsed and through the use of a commentator and music we turn the experience of extreme sports into a full breath taking performance. The Show is targeted to the mainstream audience. They present themselves and perform at the highest level of professionalism. They take this serious and train hard, they are not no-brain daredevils - but rather precision athletes! “Victorian Blade Shearing Championships” will be held at the Edenhope Show this year - Contact Jan Grigg 03 5585 1700 Friday

The
noise of the day increased during the fourth run as more came in
to watch as a much younger shearer, Reagan Hamilton from Apsley
attempted to shear 30 lambs in 30 minutes. Reagan's sister from
Wakool, NSW and her family came along to watch, along with his partner,
Sheree Venables and their 12 day old baby Jai. Come 4pm Reagan set
about to shear with normal shearing equipment 30 lambs in 30 minutes,
but amazingly when 30 minutes passed he actually shore over 39 lambs
and to complete the 40th he was clocked off 30 min and 39 sec -
one he shore in only 31 seconds. His lambs were prepared with danger
points removed, giving him a good go at this attempt. There was
wool flying here and there, but Jacqui Foster ably kept up to his
pace by keeping the wool away. Stuart Grigg, local shearing trainer,
kept time of each lamb he shore during the half hour. In the shearing shed shearing memorabilia belonging to Laurie Herman from Hamilton was displayed. Laurie was a blade shearer prior to the war.
End of the day shearers blade shore the remaining sheep, being L-R Robert Harding (Nhill), Jim Barnett (NZ), John Nicholls, Kelvin Lambert, Reagan Hamilton and Richie Foster with Michelle Nokes, 3yo Riley Nokes, Marjorie Carpenter and Jacqui Foster assisting and Nic Doelle, Alan Edwards, Keith McLachlan (hidden) and Austin Grigg in the pens.
