Action Sports World Tour Adds Thrills to the 2008 Orange County Fair Line-up
ASA Entertainment presents Big-Air BMX Triples July 29-31 in Costa Mesa.
LOS ANGELES (June 3, 2008) - The 2008 Orange County Fair will enjoy three days of the best in action sports entertainment when ASA Entertainment's Big-Air BMX Triples event, jumps into action from July 29-31 during the final week of this year's OC Fair activities. At 8:15 p.m. each night, ASA Entertainment (ASA), the global leader in action sports event and television production, brings the excitement of BMX bike riding to the OC Fair's Action Sports Arena.
The Big-Air Triple Jump is a new element in BMX competition that challenges riders to start from a 24-foot high ramp riding into three deep valleys and over three narrow platforms. This design allows the riders to grab 'big air' and perform three tricks in succession while trekking across a 165-foot long wooden course. This spin on BMX riding combines the best in BMX Box Jumping and Dirt Jumping with a Mini-Mega Ramp and was debuted with great success at the 2007 Action Sports World Tour stop in Phoenix.
"We're excited to bring the Big-Air BMX Triples event to the OC Fair this year. This creative new event concept was introduced to the industry last year and has been wildly popular ever since," said Rick Bratman, CEO of ASA Entertainment. "ASA Entertainment wants to keep pushing the envelope in action sports, bringing fans not only the best events in the industry, but also challenging our athletes to test the limits of their creativity and progression. Southern California fans are the ultimate aficionados of action sports entertainment and will enjoy this show for all its high-octane thrills and spills."
The format is simple. On Tuesday, July 29th, 16 professional riders will compete to determine the top eight men of the night. The same format will take place on Wednesday night with 16 new competitors. On Thursday the top 8 men from each night will compete in a head-to-head battle for the event title. The winner will also qualify for ASA's LG Action Sports World Championships taking place from November 7-9 later this year.
General admission seats for the Big-Air BMX Triples event are free to all OC Fair attendees and reserved seats also are available now for only $12.50 (includes Fair admission) via all Ticketmaster outlets and ticketmaster.com.
