FUEL presents Tony Hawk’s Boom Boom HuckJam, the celebrated arena tour showcasing the premier talents in action sports. Kicking off June 17, 2005 in Spokane, Washington, the tour will run for seven exciting weeks across North America—from Vancouver to Jacksonville, the Boom Boom HuckJam tour will be coming to a town near you!

Hawk’s dream team for this unrivaled production features HuckJam vets in Skate: Tony Hawk, Andy Macdonald, Lincoln Ueda and Sergie Ventura with the newest addition to the team, Rune Glifberg. The BMX roster is no less insane: Mat Hoffman, Dennis McCoy, Chad Kagy and Kevin Robinson. Of course, the HuckJam wouldn’t be complete without the madness of Moto X freestyle riders: Drake McElroy, Ronnie Faisst, Brian Deegan and Dustin Miller.

“This is going to be our best year by far. We have built a whole new ramp system designed for bigger air and better stunts. I can’t wait.”Tony Hawk

Now in its third year, Boom Boom HuckJam was the first national arena tour to headline skateboarders, BMXers and Motocross riders. The athlete performances will be unmatched, and you will be watching truly death-defying moves (all while holding your breath). This will be the most electrifying event you see all year!

Featuring a bigger and more elaborate ramp system than in years past, the multi-million dollar set-up is the central point of these exhilarating events! Adding extra excitement to this year's tour is a 30-foot roll-in that will launch the athletes 42 feet through the air over the vert ramp, only to shoot them off the top of a 20-foot-tall quarter pipe. You’ll have to see it to believe it!

DJ AERO will provide the heart-pounding music and keep the athletes moving during this year's Boom Boom HuckJam. Rick Thorne will MC the event and keep the crowd on their feet.
