BSF's motorcycle stunt team 'Jan Baz' has been captivating audiences since its inception in 1990.The team was formed with the aim of showcasing to the world that the Border-Man not only guards but possesses other skills such as: efficiency, marksmanship and dedication by displaying acts of dare-devilry while riding Royal Enfield Bullet motorcycles. Their riders are trained at BSF's Central School of Motor Transport, part of the BSF Academy, Tekanpur.
Due to the dangerous nature of the various acts and stunts to be performed, the team starts intensive training from September onwards to participate at BSF’s Raising Day Parade (each year) and Republic Day Parade (every alternate year). Usually a team consists of 64 personnel and trick riders on 34 Royal Enfield Bullet motorcycles.
The Jan Baz team has participated on various occasions such as BSF Tattoo/ BSF Raising Day, special events for foreign delegations and other state/ national level performances. As a result, they have secured both name and fame for their dedicated efforts and the Border Security Force. The Honorable Prime Minister of India and several national/ international dignitaries have appreciated their efforts and performances.
