Chad Kagy to compete in at Kings Island ASA comp this weekend
May 20, 2009 Failure Bikes News
When the action starts at Kings Island this Memorial Day Weekend, May 23 & 24th, park visitors will be treated to the best in Skateboard Vert, BMX Vert and Freestyle Motocross as the industry’s top pros gather for the fourth stop of the 2009 ASA Action Sports World Tour presented by BFD.com. This two-day event’s roster nearly mirrors the line-up from the 2008 LG Action Sports World Championships, ensuring that fans will see some of the best tricks, flips and flairs in competition today staged amidst the swirling curves and free-falling drops of Diamondback, Kings Island’s spectacular new rollercoaster.
When the ramp turns over to the BMX riders, Jamie Bestwick (Nottingham, England), 5-time and current LG Action Sports BMX Vert Champion and 2008 X Games and Dew Cup Champion will try to hold off the charge from the field of competitors, including many of the men he met in the Championships last year. Chad Kagy (Gilroy, Calif.), Simon Tabron (Newquay, England),
Steven McCann (Melbourne, Australia), Jimmy Walker (Chicago, Ill.), Kevin Robinson (East Providence, Rhode Island), Francisco Zurita (Santiago, Chile), Koji Kraft (Addison, Illinois), John Parker (Paso Robles, Calif.), Jay Eggleston (Denver, Colo.), Austin Coleman (Los Angeles, Calif.), Ben Snowden (Hornell, New York), Tom Stober (Califon, New Jersey), and Jorge Jovel (Bronx, New York) will try their best to put an end to Bestwick’s long-standing reign.
To round out the weekend, ASA Entertainment, the ASA Action Sports World Tour’s producer, has added a concert by Columbus pop rock band LoveSick Radio on Saturday afternoon starting at 4:30 p.m. in the International Showplace Theatre, and has also brought in Pop Evil, the post grunge, alternative rock band to open for Collective Soul on Sunday evening starting at 7:00 p.m. in the Timberwolf Amphitheatre.
All concerts, sponsor village interactive activities, autograph sessions, and ASA Action Sports World Tour contests are free with a Kings Island admission ticket or a season pass. An expanded fireworks show and skydivers will also be in the line-up on Saturday and Sunday. Visit ActionSportsTour.com or KingsIsland.com for event, concert and autograph session times and details.
