May 5th and 6th

Tempe Town Lake

Tempe, Az

Ok, so I didn't have to travel very far to attend this event, I just thought it would be nice to include since I had an awesome time there and it was the innagural event held on the lake. There were pros galore at this double-up only event, the goal was to hit the sickest trick in your two passes at the double-up.

 

 

The Pros getting ready on the dock at Tempe Town

 

Pros on hand included eventual Champion Shapiro, Murray, Byerly, Watkins, Harf, Harris, Watson, Wright, Eisenhower, Charley Patterson, Jason Cooley and Kyle Schmidt. Local riders Mike Fulton and Heath Hernandez rode well, but did not score high enough to move past the first round. Brian Francis and TJ Razo also local riders moved out of the first round but did not score high enough to advance to the Semi Finals.

The AWA tent along sponsor row!!
While at the Big Air contest I had a chance to catch up with Charlie and Jon in the motorhome, talk to Charlie about switching to Origin, Jon about their favorite stop and check out the new bus wrap (with Charlie's face plastered all over it!!) just hanging out. Lindsay was working hard as ever making sure the whole event ran smoothly!
