Freestyle BMX Heavy Hitters will compete this weekend at ARCO Arena in the MegaRamp ASA Triples
See hometown favorite and superstar Ryan Nyquist and #1 ranked Brett "Mad Dog" Banasiewicz!
LOS ANGELES (August 24, 2010) — This Saturday, some of the biggest names in BMX from the X Games will appear at Sacramento's ARCO Arena to compete in the MegaRamp ASA Triples (Triples). For one night only 12 men, including 12-time X Games medalist Ryan Nyquist, the hometown favorite from San Jose, and 15-year-old Brett "Mad Dog" Banasiewicz (South Bend, Indiana) currently ranked #1 in BMX dirt, will be pitted against each other in this head-to-head contest until there's only one man standing.
The Triples, produced by leading action sports event producer ASA Entertainment, in association with MegaRamp Events, showcases the best all-around riders in BMX challenging the athletes' combined box jumping and dirt jumping skills over a completely unique 195 ft. long wooden course that starts with a version of the famed mini MegaRamp. Momentum from the 25 ft. tall roll-in ramp propels them over two 25 ft. wide jumps and a massive course-ending quarter-pipe. The riders attack the course, throwing down three back-to-back tricks in quick succession, displaying the technique, control, daring and style that make them the sports' best. These athletes regularly push the sports' boundaries as well as their own limits, surprising fans with mind-boggling aerial stunts.
Banasiewicz thrilled fans with his revolutionary double front-flip, which secured his win of the Triples contest in Augusta, GA earlier this season, and recently landed the first "Cash Roll" ever executed cleanly in a competition to win his third major event this year at last week's Dew Tour in Portland. He seems to amp up his skill level at every stop. What does he have in store for Sacramento fans? They're not the only ones wondering. His fellow competitors think he's the man to beat.
All of the excitement begins this Saturday at 7 p.m. Tickets are on sale now and currently available at Ticketmaster, arcoarena.com, the ARCO Arena Box Office, or call 800-745-3000 to charge tickets by phone. Prices ranges from $25 to $65 VIP Tickets which include floor seating, access to a pre-event meet & greet with the competitors, full-color poster and VIP laminate.
The event will be broadcast nationally on Fox Sports Net in November as part of ASA Entertainment's action sports block. Check your local listings for specific broadcast times and dates.
