Could be exciting to see live, though I'm sure it'll be well-planned routines and choregraphed stuff instead of skaters going off.

I attended this event last year. It was pretty good, but not as good as the Gravity Games or even a local tour such as Dave Mirra's stint in Beaverton. There just didn't seem to be a lot of pushing the envelope at the event, nothing old skool, nothing new skool. I would recommend going, but don't expect to be blown away. All good skaters, BMXers and MotoXers with nearly flawless moves, but they are simply putting on a rehearsed show, nothing bleeding edge.
Oh, Britt, it's the Offspring... and yes, a lot of their stuff seems alike. The thing that bugged me about the bad is that they seemed out of place, they should have had the band play (or a better band play) AS the event went on instead of stopping the show to have a mini-concert. You can't really mosh in those chairs and you certainly can't get up to the foot of the stage.

I went last year and enjoyed it except for the lame band. It was the band that sings Pretty Fly for a White Guy. Proper seating is critical to get the full experience. I got comp tickets because I know Tony, but it would be worth it. Maybe Tony will pull a 900 in PDX this time around.
