A motorcycle stunt team that appeared on Britain's Got Talent has been named as the headline act at this year's New Forest Show.
The Bolddog Lings FMX squad will perform a spectacular series of gravity-defying tricks at the three-day show, which starts on July 30.
Bolddog riders entertain huge crowds at shows, carnivals, and motor sports events across Europe and the UK.
The team is managed by one of Europe's top freestyle motocross riders, Dan Whitby, the first person to flip a four stroke motorcycle in Europe.
Dan said: "It’s a non-stop show that will entertain everyone from off–road enthusiasts to the general public.
"It’s a must-see part of any festival and is continually growing in popularity as the awareness of freestyle motocross increases.”
Bolddog boasts the largest, most sophisticated FMX landing ramp in the world.
The eye-catching structure enables riders to perform mid-air stunts while leaping gaps of more than 75ft.
A New Forest Show spokesperson described Bolddog as the UK's number one freestyle motocross team.
They added: "They set the standard when they were semi-finalists on series 8 of Britain’s Got Talent and continue to push the boundaries of FMX and lead the way for all motorcycle display teams."
Bolddog's appearance is set to revive memories of similar performances at the show by motorcycle stunt king Jamie Squibb.
He and fellow members of the team performed mid-air acrobatics using two ramps set 60ft apart.

Spectators gasped in astonishment as Jamie completed a backward somersault about 40ft above the ground before landing safely.
On another occasion he performed handstands either on the saddle or on the handlebars as his bike soared into the air.
Held at New Park, Brockenhurst, the show attracts around 95,000 visitors and is the largest event in the Forest.
Denis Dooley is chief executive of the New Forest Agricultural Show Society, which stages the event.
He said: "This year’s show is looking to be one of the best ever, with so much to see and do.
"I’m particularly excited to see Bolddog FMX make their debut in the New Forest - their death-defying stunts look amazing.
"The rest of the show is shaping up nicely, with a focus on interactive activities for the whole family and a record number of horse classes."
The first show was held in 1920 as a way of bringing the local community together following the First World War.
In 2012 the late Queen Elizabeth II visited the event as part of her Diamond Jubilee tour.
