casino security is no joke, you can be a **** here, but if you go past the limit they put you in check real quick. if you want to cause trouble you do it in a different casino then the one you're staying at, its that simple.

The last place you want to **** off in is a Vegas hotel or Casino...
Casino security will make your night a living hell and when they are done with you; LVMPD will be glad to give you free room and board with no questions asked about the two black eyes you have either....
But other than that.....
Do it!! I know a name for the event too already, it has a real nice ring to it too!!

Re: If we build it will you come?
get good mag/tv coverage, move some of the payouts from team to indiv freestyle/longest stoppie (so that you can pay deeper) and i will be there for sure.
to me it just seems foolish to put 8 grand into a team event when you could take that money and pay 10 deep in an indiv freestyle event. but i'm biased, i always think that indiv freestyle is where this sport needs to head so that we can take the next step. team IS entertaining for sure, but a good indiv run is just as entertaining and imo i dont think corporate or whoever is going to make team event into a series or whatever. make sense? i hope my thoughts are conveyed accurately.

Yer right, pretty much every extreme sport doesn't have a team event I think.
No team event in freestyle mx, or skateboarding. Givin, I like team events but I dont think they should get the biggest payout.
Caliper bracket......
Ps. I might come out to Vegas for the Sema show in a few weeks, but I will be flyin.

Re: If we build it will you come?
I think team events should disappear. If you aren't good enough to compete on your own, you should sit on the sidelines and make some noise for your "teammate" who is. Team events are total chaos to me. A real mess and I've never seen anything that didn't look like improv on the spot or planned 15 minutes before the event. To me, team events are more like an intermission entertainment than a competition. It's easier on the nerves to ride in front of thousands with 5 of your buddies. If you mess up, theres a good chance it will go unnoticed. Real competition is the ability to deliver, on the spot, on your own with all eyes on you. My event would have individual freestyle paying most, with longest endo second followed by sickest trick and so on. The overall best should be paid overall most. If there must be a team event, it should cost each team $500 to enter and winner takes all. The more teams to enter, the bigger the payout. Put your money up and everyone ride your asses off. Go big or go home.

Re: If we build it will you come?
I agree with Matt
Team events are biased and unfair put the 8k in individual freestyle payouts..
make it so people who get 4th and 5th at least get a free Tee-shirt...
