Adrenaline Sports Grand Opening

 Venturing outside, attendees were greeted with the sprawling 551 Films/Smage Shero Sales/EVS demo trailer and the Aerotek BMX box jump.  Venders outlined the two show rigs with products, while Monster and Vitamin Water kept the crowds both hydrated and energized.  FM 102.1 was on hand to keep the athletes and store-goers pumped on being stoked with some good tunes. 

 The Aerotek guys worked side by side with the Smage Bros and the two groups entertained in harmony, with shows running back to back through the day.  The motorless magicians kicked off each hour of entertainment throwing high flying “gnarly-manuevers”  into the sky for 25 minutes straight. 

Highlights include stretched out superman tailwhips, no-handed front flips, and one of the smoothest backflip tailwhips ever done.  They also had a some dialed in flat-land riders on hand to wow the onlookers with some crazy concrete combos.  

 Once the Aerotek show wrapped up, Pat and Phil fired their Shercos to life.  The show began with both riders selecting a kid from the crowd and riding up to them as Rex Kwando introduced the brothers.  Each rider had to balance and hand out some swag.  

Pat passed over a GoFast! Energy Drink, while Phil handed out a 551Films/Ambition Snowskate/EVS/KBC Helmets/Xtremegrip/One Industries Poster.  WIth the goodies in their rightful hands, Pat and Phil wheelied off to the trailer.  

 Some show highlights include Phil giving Kwandy quite a scare as he held and endo straight up and down between his legs for several seconds as gas started to leak from his cap, Pat chased Rex around the trailer on his back wheel, and Troy Smalls braved the consequences and let his hat be removed by a front wheel, just centimeters from his face.

 After the shows were completed, the fun really began.  Rick opened his skatepark doors to Pat and Phil on their Shercos.  It was the brothers first time getting to ride a skatepark, and it instantly created show number 4 for the day.  With 2 angles on nearly every shot, Josh Oakes and Rex Kwando had the footage stacking covered.  The crowd enjoyed some huge 180’s, side by side halfpipe blunt-to-faikies, and nose wheelies around the entire park.

 Once the Shercos were put to rest, Pat and Phil finally shed their gear and grabbed their skateboards and bicycles.  Pat went down fast with an early release backflip, which ended with the bike finding its way partially through his helmet.  Phil took turns flipping and spinning with Binz on his bike and threw a few kickflip indies on the skateboard.  Up and coming snowskate shredder Josh Oakes showed where his snow skills come from by destroying the foam pit, the long rail, and the bowl.
 

 After stacking some 540s into the foam he stomped a few frontside 360 heelflips in the bowl, much to the delight of Phil’s Sony FX1.  Even the broken-ankled announcer Rex Kwando gave the foam pit a try.  After Troy Smalls had his backflips dialed in, he lent his scooter to Kwandy to give the 10 foot roll-in a try.  The results?  That we are going to have to save for SA3, but everyone in attendance was smiling after his attempts; well, everyone except Kwandy himself.  Thanks to Boo for shooting some rad photos!
