I wont lie im a sucker for these shows so i'm gonna go. Gonna have a pair of tickets to give away for this show, just not sure yet how we'll do it this time.

I was looking through the "Features + Events" and noticed that there's going to be a stunt team from vegas. Curious why they don't get local talent to perform instead...

I'll likely skip this show. Went with Sinz last year to it. It was on and all. Usual gp booth with gear on sale. Oh and the pizza and a poo was something astronomical like 10 bucks. If you're looking for a new bike it's a decent show to check out any model. Otherwise it's a meh

Probably cause they could only perform 2 tricks, wheelie and stoppie.

Once the initial WOW goes away, its boring.. Plus, If you've seen anyone thats really good, the rest seem shit. Yetti would rather watch Some Trials Bike do their thing.. now thats some talent.

Trials I could watch all day. It's like when I went to the bicycle show one year at the cne. They had everything in the world there and trials riding and then the insane guys/gals on the ramps. Watching a guy stall on the rafters with his bmx blew my mind. No one would ever have thought of the stuff they do today when I was into that. All better than stunting a motorcycle.

Trials is really skilled.... and this is the same idea. These guys are nuts. Now picture it indoors. There's other videos, Roomie is just too lazy to find them.

These guys were jumping on everything. I believe szoke was one of the riders doing demos last year.
