Ladies and Gentlemen of POW,

I just wanted to say that the show performed on 5/15/07 by Eric Soto & Dave Hanson was beyond words. Amazing in every aspect. The BMX stunt team showed our students what can be done with persistence and the ability dream. Every student left the assembly with a new outlook on what can be achieved if they try hard, use safety and stay away from drugs. The performance was flawless in both stunts and message delivery. A show like that is almost too good for words. We have devoted a portion of our home webpage to this fabulous show with details and pictures.

All of us here at Cottonwood Elementary School welcome you back next year.

Hello Dennis,

I just wanted to say Thanks for the GREAT show. Our children and Staff at Hollyvale had a WONDERFUL time!!! I would like to say how Terrific we all thought Eric and Dave were. Not just their ability to ride but the way they related to the kids. The message was a good one for the kids. Again Thank you and a Special Thanks to Eric and Dave.

To whom it may concern,

I would like to thank Perfection on Wheels - specifically Sean and William for the fantastic job they did today. We had a little bit of a height problem with our outdoor roofs but they worked around it to the best of their ability and put on a fantastic performance for our 7-12 graders. They were timely, energetic, professional, and admired by our student body as well as our teachers and faculty. This was a great way to end our school year.

Thank you so much and I look forward to working with you in the future.

Best regards,
Molly

Hi Dennis,

We just had your team for a show today. They were awesome! Sean and William were fantastic, both on the bikes and with our kids. Both stayed to answer questions and sign autographs. We will definitely book you again, as well as tell all of our schools. Our kids loved the show!

Thanks again,

Thank you.

The BMX show was scheduled for two shows before ours when they came to town. I went to the first show (I was late and missed it) except for the last part when the students were getting their autographs. The students had a slip of paper. I asked the guys if I could take their picture together with a bike and then I dashed off and printed 4 X 6 photos for our students who received back stage passes to get them signed. This meant our students received a photo of the two guys who they say perform. They loved it. I would strongly suggest that the PTO/PTA pick up that expense for their students. I have students come up to me and are still talking about the show and let me know that they have their picture.
Just wanted to pass on the thought. I appreciate the guys letting me take their picture and signing them for our students. The remainder I gave to them to take with them.

The show was great!

We had the priviledge of having William and Sean here at Ben Hulse Elementary School this morning. What a show these young men put on for us!! They are very talented athletes, and, in addition to that, they both possess very refined interpersonal skills. They dealt very professionally with our staff and got right down on the level of our children here. The kids fell in love with them. They have the set-up and tear-down techniques down to a science and came very prepared. I know our students will be talking about this for a long time to come. Please give these guys a good hard pat on the back for a job VERY WELL DONE.

Thank you! Jerry Johnson, principal

Dear Perfection on Wheels and Staff:

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you again for your terrific shows here in Lake County. I also wanted to let you know that you directly contributed to saving a boy’s life. During the show you did at Pomo School, we gave away four bike helmets. One of the helmet recipients was a fifth grader who had never worn a helmet. Because of the show and the “cool”  helmet, he started wearing it every time he rode his bike. About two weeks after the show. He was involved in a car vs. bike accident. He sustained facial fractures, but because he was wearing his helmet, his head injuries were minor. The doctors as U.C Davis told him that the helmet probably saved his life. 

Thank you so much for a job well done! You’re Program made a big difference in the boy’s life.

Sincerely,
Marta Fuller, RN

Dear Perfection on Wheels:
Attn: Dennis J. Langlais
         We just wanted to take this time to thank you for the remarkable shows that your team has performed here in Woodstock, Georgia for the last 10 years at our Annual Bike Rodeo.  With head injuries being the leading cause of death and serious injury in the State of Georgia it is nice to have a performance group that not only gives a comprehensible message to the children about bike safety but also to “Saying no to drugs” and the importance of staying in school. 
        
         We also wanted to let you know that the performers have always done a magnificent job.  They are always very professional by arriving early, very prepared, and very flexible which is a must with these kinds of events.  The performers are not only exceptionally talented; they are also great role models for the children.  The shows are always exciting from beginning to end and everyone has always thoroughly enjoyed the performances in the past and we will continue to use your services in the future. 

         We would definitely recommend this show for other Police Departments, schools, and other events.  If any prospective clients have any questions, feel free to pass my information on to them and let them know they can contact me directly for a client’s point of view.  As I said in the first sentence we have used your performance group for 10 years now and will continue to do so in the future.

Hi Dennis,

I just wanted to let you know that your crew did a great job.  They arrived early,and were very prepared and professional.  Faculty and students of All Saints Regional School thoroughly enjoyed the two performances.  A few of the older students even interviewed the crew for our school paper.
Jason Rodriguez sent a clear message to our students about bike safety, saying no to drugs and the importance of staying in school. We enjoyed the special stunts and the show was exciting from beginning to end.  I would definitely recommend this show for other schools!

Attn: Dennis

Just wanted you to know that Perfection on Wheels performed today at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School, Aliquippa, PA, for Catholic Schools Week.  The show was excellent.  The performers were not only exceptionally talented, they also were great role models for our students.  They spoke of safety, of staying drug free, and of staying in school.  The children from kindergarten to eighth grade were amazed from start to finish.  The show lasted around one hour, and they were so patient staying after to answer questions.  We work very hard to raise money for our assemblies. This program was worth every penny spent.  The children will be left with many great memories of Catholic Schools Week!  Please thank Jason and James for us and wish them well as they continue to please many more young people, and know that I will strongly recommend them to other schools.

Sincerely,

Hi Dennis!

Once again, I just wanted to say thank you for coming to perform for my school on such short notice. It really was just what we were looking for-- 45 minutes of an exciting performance that could be tied into practice and excellence. And thanks for being so accommodating and doing the show on the school track for us. Everything was set up far enough in advance before the students arrived; it really turned out to be the ideal arrangement for such a large group of viewers. I'm sure East lake will be back in touch with you next year, and if any prospective clients have any questions, feel free to let them know they can talk to me about how smoothly the show went and how the students responded. Take care, and best of luck with your show in the future. Thanks again!

Dennis,

I didn't get a chance to talk to Devin and Dan before they left on Wed. (It was an early-out day at our school and I am responsible for about 100 kids,
so it gets a little crazy.) I just wanted to let them know that the show was a big success, the kids loved it and the adults were impressed too! Please pass on my thanks to them and I'll pass on your name to any other schools in our area who are interested in a show.

Thanks again. Linda Babcock

Hi Dennis,

Thank you so much for the great job at our school last week. The students and teachers were talking about it for several days afterwards. The students clearly understood your message: wear a helmet, if you're happy with your life and yourself you can stay drug-free, if you work hard you can be successful (and even make a living off of your hobby!). Thank you also for the generous performance with ramps. The stunts were AMAZING. You guys ROCK.

LETTER WRITTEN 1/4/2006

Engvall Elementary
1055 W. Cedar
Lemoore, CA 93245
(559).924.6850


Dear Dennis and all the riders and staff at Perfection on Wheels,

My name is Denise Thompson and I have a four year old son and eight year old daughter. I just wanted to let you all know first hand of the positive impact you are making in children’s lives.
My daughter attends second grade at P.W. Engvall Elementary in Lemoore, Ca. I took my son along to an assembly last year when you were there performing and he caught the BMX bug. He was only three at the time and by his fourth birthday took off the training wheels and went wild. He rides his bike rain, shine, and even 3:30 in the morning, well that was this past November and him and his father stayed up late building a ramp. His father promised it would be ready when he woke up, well at the young age of four everything is literal. We awoke to the sound of our storm door closing and knew right away we had better get out there. We convinced him to go back to bed, but that only lasted until 5:45 a.m. My son is extremely energetic and BMX freestyle has been the best thing to ever happen. When he is riding he is very focused, disciplined and most of all has a determination that is beyond anything I have ever seen. He falls over and over again and will not quit until he has mastered the trick he is trying. Al l the neighbors, older kids as well as the adults, get such a huge blast out of watching him do tricks. One neighbor got such a kick out of his excitement he got Gregory the DVD “RAD” to watch. It is still previewed at least four times a week. Then about a month ago Dennis informed me of a site bmxstunts.com and he is now using his fine motor skills every morning as he spends at least an hour previewing all the stunts, he cannot read so he looks for the first letter and counts up from the bottom to find his favorites, then heads out the door with his helmet and is ready to attempt the ones is feels confident. He has been trying to coax the neighbor boys into laying under his ramp so he can jump them, luckily I was able to convince him to master jumping his skateboard first and then we would move on to one of his sisters baby dolls ha!ha! This was inspired by jump a friend and the superman. Last night we had to buy pegs for the front of his bike because he now wants to do the nose picker. It is really exciting to see that 11months have went by and he is still as excited as the first day after watching you all perform.

I would advise any parent out there to look into BMX Freestyle just as they do karate, soccer and so many other activities for discipline and fun. Yes, people do think I am crazy allowing him to try the things he does on his bike, but all I can say is he gets the same scrapes, bumps and bruises from playing at the park or Burger King play areas. He knows helmets are important and is the first one to point out to the bigger kids when they don’t have one on or their chin strap is not hooked that they in his words are “stupid heads and will get hurt”.

Anyway, I can not thank you all enough for the profession you have chosen and the time you spend educating the kids on the sport. Freestyle has so much to offer beyond the bike and I am thrilled my son is taking such a love for it. BMX Freestyle is truly a defining tool molding his morals, outlook and over all determination in success on the tricks he tries which will prove very valuable in his life achievements.

Thank you again and keep performing as well as working on the swing,
Denise Thompson and Gregory

Hi Dennis...

As usual, the BMX stunt show was phenomenal! Eric & William fired up our audience! They were amazing! Our assistant principal got some great pictures and gave them to the team on a disk. They had a great message for the students here at Ramona Elementary School....the most important message of course was to not talk your grammar into lying down and then jump over her with your bicycle:) Everyone had a great time and we will be sure to book you guys early for next year! Thanks so much for setting up a great assembly! Please give my name and phone number to anyone that needs a recommendation!

Hi Dennis,

Our students and staff really enjoyed having “Perfection on Wheels” perform at R. J. Neutra Elementary School. Eric and Sean were very professional in their presentation, and their skills with wheels were extraordinary. They kept the audience clamoring for more. It was refreshing to hear them promote education and values and how making good choices allowed them to pursue their careers.

Dear Billy & Devin
Your show was the best we have had. I have been booking shows for 4+ years & yours is now at the top of my recommendation list. I was impressed with the show, but more impressed with the safety & anti-drug message. It was subtle, yet effective! Many kids, teachers & parents are still raving about the show.

Thank You So Much! Nancy Catrambone.

Hi Dennis,

You performed at our school, Bethel Springs Elementary School, in Boothwyn, PA in October for Red Ribbon Week. We were thrilled with the show . We
would like to schedule a show again for this year in October. We would like to book the ramp show. When Jay was there he said that we could do the show in our school parking lot. Our concern is lf it rains. Our principal would like us to be able to book a rain date if the weather is not cooperating. Is that possible? We were looking for Monday October 23rd. We would need two shows. One starting at 9:15 and then the next one right after that.

If you can get back to me I would really appreciate it.

Perfection on Wheels was an exciting and uplifting performance for our school. The message was clear that to become the best at whatever you do requires dedication, hard work and a commitment to a drug free life. It was invaluable that they emphasized the realities of practice and training to get to where they are and the necessity to use caution and safety throughout training. The students and staff alike appreciated the talent that this group brought to our school. It was obvious that the performers have indeed dedicated themselves to live up to the name: "Perfection on Wheels". As the Middle School Guidance Counselor here at Salem School, I would highly recommend this performance for youth at this age level. Stunt biking is extremely popular here and everywhere and to see this done by professionals was a real treat. Thanks again for being there for our kids and all kids.

Thanks for a great show. Although I didn't get to see it, the feedback from the kids and the staff was excellent. Perfection on Wheels has done programs in Bloomfield for many years, and we've coordinated the program with Todd and Jay. Are they both still with the show? It seemed as if the gentlemen doing the show had never heard of Bloomfield before. Anyway, thank you all again for a terrific show, and we'll be booking May '06 in the very near future.

I just wanted to tell you how great our show was Tuesday at Riviera Beach Elementary School in Pasadena, Maryland. Our students haven't stopped talking about it!

Bill and Devon were absolutely amazing. They were personable, professional, and wonderful with the kids. The individual tricks were outstanding and both Bill and Devon brought shouts of joy and excitement forth from the kids. The 'grand finale' where they jumped over our two fifth grade teachers was out of this world, and the kids AND staff will be talking about that for many years to come (not mentioning the fact that it will be immortalized in this year's yearbook)!!

The message they present was one that really hit home with the kids. The 'cool factor' got their attention, but Bill and Devon's words of advice from experience will remain with the kids because of their honest concern and sincerity to spreading the right message.

We at RBES believe this was THE event of the year! Please pass our thanks and appreciation on to Bill and Devon. We definitely look forward to more shows in the coming years.

Sincerely,
