More than 200 patients and their families, as well as others from the community, came out to watch the 12th annual Big Air Kids Fair on Thursday, May 21. The event spotlighted some of motorcycle racing’s biggest stars.

The riders took over the front steps of Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital and put on a high-flying show for patients. Some of the best-known riders from Freestyle Motocross were on hand, including demo riders Dustin Cantrell, Scotty Stephens, Jimmy Fitzpatrick, Paul Smith and Fred Kyrillos.

In addition to the free motorcycle show, guests were able to interact with a life-size Tonka truck, as well as experience Gazillion Bubbles’ five-foot Monsoon Machine -- all in front of Children’s Hospital.

Following the outdoor event, riders visited patient rooms and delivered gifts, signed autographs, and took photos with their young fans.
