As they came out on stage in front of the ramps, Simon Cowell said: “It looks quite dangerous!”
Asked what their dream is by Cowell, Tyler, who used to practice at Mill Pond skate park, responded: “To win, and build our own skate park.”
He also said he wanted to get scootering into the Olympics.
The act could not have gotten off to a worse start, however, when six-year-old Austin came off his scooter and came crashing down to earth.
WHOA! 😱 The Scooter Boys are FEARLESS! 🛴

After some treatment backstage, Austin re-emerged back onto the stage geed on by a buoyant crowd.
Following a few quick fist bumps with team-mate TJ and some warm words from Ant and Dec, the boys got their act back on track.
Despite a shaky start, the boys showed no fear as they performed spins, flips and daring stunts on the ramps installed on stage.
The judges could barely believe their eyes as brave Austin laid down on top of one of the ramps to let another of the scooter boys fly over him in a daring stunt.
Their act came to an end with all boys holding their scooters aloft, prompting judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams to respond with a standing ovation.
Rapturous applause from the crowd provided a fitting end to a bold and brilliant performance from the scooter boys.
Before the judges voted, Alesha Dixon praised the group for their team spirit.
Amanda Holden said: “God knows how your parents feel. My heart was in my mouth throughout all of that.”
Unsurprisingly, the quartet got four yes votes from the judges and secured their place in the next round of Britain’s Got Talent.
