The ASA Grab Some Air Tour Presented By Air Force Reserve Plays Six Flags St. Louis
July 10 & 11
Action Sports BMX and skateboarding stars drop in on theme parks and state fairs this summer!
LOS ANGELES (July 2, 2010) — ASA Entertainment's
Grab Some Air Tour presented by Air Force Reserve continues its tour of U.S. theme parks when it stops at Six Flags in St. Louis on July 10 & 11. Having already made stops at Andrews Air Force Base, Kings Island, and Six Flags New England, the
Grab Some Air Tour will also visit the following parks and state fairs across the U.S. this year:
Ohio State Fair — Columbus, Ohio — August 7 - 8
Six Flags Great Adventure — Central New Jersey — August 14 -15
Six Flags America — Baltimore/Washington, DC — August 21 - 22
Colorado State Fair — Pueblo, Colo. — September 4 - 6
Patrick Air Force Base — Cocoa Beach, Fla. — October 30 - 31
Along each stop, top skateboard and BMX pros of X Games fame who regularly compete on the ASA Action Sports World Tour will perform multiple shows daily, thrilling fans with huge airs and amazing aerial stunts on a 12-foot tall half-pipe.
Showing off his elite BMX skills at Six Flags St. Louis will be Koji Kraft (Addison, Ill.), who, at only 27 years old, is already considered one of the most accomplished riders in BMX. He competed in his first pro contest in early 2000 and has been impressing fans and judges ever since with his trick variations and no-limits attitude. Kraft is a rare BMX pro who competes in multiple disciplines of the sport: street, vert and dirt, constantly pushing himself to the edge and winning medals in the process.
Jimmy Walker (Gilberts, Illinois) will join Kraft on the ramp, adding this stop to the long list of events in which he performs each year. He is one of the smoothest BMX vert pros competing today, easily able to float above the lip and cover every inch of the ramp. Once ranked the #2 vert rider in the world, Walker is still a force on the ramp and consistently finishes in the top five at major events.
Displaying his BMX flatland skills will be Trevor Meyer (Little Rock, Ark), who possesses the extreme dedication, concentration and commitment it takes to excel in the flatland discipline. Trevor, who won gold at the X Games' first three BMX flatland contests and a bronze in 2003, is one of the more esteemed flatland BMX riders in the industry.
Elliot Sloan (New York, NY) and Jay Stevason (Toronto, Canada) make up the show's skateboard contingent. Sloan is a stylish vert and mega ramp skater who turned pro in 2007 and is considered the future of those events. Stevason is one of the best vert skateboarders to ever come out of Canada, consistently landing 720s and 540 variations, which led him to much success in the Vans Triple Crown Series.
On July 10 & 11 only Six Flags St. Louis visitors can enjoy all of the action sports excitement and fun of the
Grab Some Air Tour. All performances are free with theme park admission or a Season Pass and include an opportunity for autographs and photos after each show. Show times are 1:00, 3:00 and 5:00 p.m. each day.
