the idea is that ALL the stuntriders will hang/ride at a specified location for a few hours on friday night and maybe sat afternoon, then head over to Reliant for the show, and then downtown for the afterparty...

I am hoping all you guys that will be hitting up the local spots/afterparties will be patient with all the kids that will most likely show up. Teenagers are going to be this sports biggest audience. Some of them probably aren't old enough to drive, others may have bikes, but when they are hangin around, if they come talk to you, keep in mind they look up to a lot of you guys, so try your best to include them in the fun (without doing anything illegal ) Just thought I would throw that out there. Being a nice guy gets you far, especially at this level in the game.

haha everyone knows you don't have to be told that Teach, I was just throwin it out there though, I mean I remember playin small local shows with bands and these kids would come up and ask some of the bands for autographs or talk to them about their equipment, and some bands are just ********* and think "Why is this stupid kid talking to me" but you know if you are nice to that kid, then he'll buy all your cds (or in this case DVDs) and him and all his friends will make the effort to make it out to shows/comps.
And like Teach said, these kids parents have the $$$ that you want to end up in your pocket.

congrats to everyone involved
this looks like it just might be the one thats gets our foot in the door. Everyone on that list deserved to be on it. Everyone on that list has put in more hardwork and dedication than you know. It should turn out to be a good event. If we can make it there we'll be there cheering for you guys :YEAH

amen to that brotha!!! i've met a couple of the "big names" that when i met them i either wanted to kick their ***, or swore i would never buy anything that they were involved in again. why is it that as soon as some people learn how to do a circle, or get a 5 minute spot in someone's video they think they are the ****......and some kinda rockstar. (you know who you are)

another thing...
will they be playing any advertisements on the radio? since cc owns pretty much every station in houston ud think that theyd promote it? i KNOW if u guys put commercials about it on the radio, ud have a much more populated turnout. think about it. run em in the morning from like 7-10 and in the evening from like 3-8 or sumthin after all, that is the time when most people listen to the radio. just a suggestion.

OK, I read the whole thread, now im up to speed.
Thanks everyone who is being supportive here. I guess I need to get the oil changed in my truck!
I want to say one thing though regarding the XSBA.
Ive read hear that some people believe it was a failure but I dont see it that way. I think for the time it exposed the sport and it was a tremendous learning curve for the people who were involved organizing and participating.
Hopefully now at this new venue things will be different.
Count on my part...

In regards to the parking lot Jacob is looking at. Isn't that the same parking lot that H P D arrested about 100 people some drag racers and mostly spectators about a year and a half ago? Maybe it was one adjacent to it, but it was close. That Sams is a 24hr facility, so good luck. Wouldn't the Sams over behind the Mc Donalds off of I-610 be better? Just a curious question and a honest and very nuetral observation.... I wouldn't say anything bad about my boy Jacob, hell because of his advice in the past I've progressed to the point I'm at.....But he still needs to holla back at me...I got
a cell phone bill too..........Later........
