Emerica's Wild Ride Tour

Die-hard riders flocked to see the Emerica team come thundering into skateboard parks across the Midwest on their Harley-Davidsons, as part of the Wild Ride tour. The energy of the crowds was raw and powerful, with anywhere from 700 spectators in Denver at the kick-off on Sunday June 11, to an average of 300 - 400 at smaller stops throughout the week. Emerica opened the Wild Ride to anyone who wanted to join their rolling adventure and many guys (+ one girl) cruised with the team dropping in and out along the route.

Father's Day weekend was a life-altering experience for some younger riders who joined the Ultimate Alternative Father's Day ride with Emerica. Some pretty cool parents rode out to meet, ride, camp and skateboard for a weekend with their kids and the Emerica guys. On Wednesday June 21st the Emerica team rode their motorcycles up to Buckingham Fountain in Brant Park, Chicago where 3000 riders met them to skateboard in the Wild in the Streets event through the city.

It was a pretty crazy event, that was an amazing sight. The photo to the side is of the Emerica team, some guest riders and a few Harleys (see full sized Emerica Team photo). The event was a huge bonding moment for many sons and fathers. This Dad and Son (see full sized Emerica's wild Ride photo - on the Harley together in the middle) rode with the Emerica team on their way from St. Louis to Chicago.

For the first ever Emerica's Wild Ride event, this was a raging success. Now that you know what to expect, make it a point for next year's father's day to join in!
