DAREDEVIL KIDS: THE IMPS

Meet the Imps, a charity project transformed into a world-renowned motorcycle display team with a reputation for breathtaking stunts, disciplined teamwork, and a legacy of inspiring young riders.

From the sound of revving engines to the awe of a billowing fire jump and the suspense of a motorcycle team combination ‘crossover’, The Imps will immediately have you mesmerised with their unmissable display of discipline and skill. Just imagine when you realise that the youngest performer is only five years old!

The Imps Motorcycle Display Team, noted for its smart red tunics and highly disciplined spectacular show originated in the 1970’s from The Hackney Adventure Holiday Project: a charity founded by Roy Pratt MBE that provided holidays in the country for under-privileged young people. Some of the children found a dysfunctional old motorbike and Roy tasked them with getting it to work … one thing led to another, and the project became a unique motorcycle display team, made up entirely of young people aged five to sixteen.

An international reputation

For more than fifty years The Imps have performed around the world to millions of people. Regular appearances on prime-time television and displays at major events, such as The Nova Scotia Tattoo in Canada, The Norwegian Military Tattoo and The Edinburgh Military Tattoo have secured a reputation for excellence. Known for their extraordinary discipline and incredible teamwork, The Imps deliver shows built around complex ‘cross-overs’ requiring split second timing, breathtaking fire jumps and visually stunning moving pyramids of red tunics – all served up with a dash of humour and the mini-Imp mascots.
