Roller Coasters, Skateboarding, and the Air Force

Looking for some summer excitement? How about mixing roller coasters with skateboarding? Here's an announcement from ASA Action Sports World Tour:

"The 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 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.

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."

So there you go! A good excuse to go ride some roller coasters! The shows are free with your admittance into the park, and the shows run at 1 PM, 3 PM and 5PM. There will be a chance to get autographs and pictures with the sweaty pros after each show.
