Born in the 1980’s, Extreme Freestyle is one of the fastest growing sports in the World. With the annual ESPN's Winter/Summer X Games in full swing the sport is growing around the globe. Mile One Centre will host City #1 of a Cross Canadian Tour thanks to the work of Hickman Chrysler Dodge Jeep as they present the Coors Light Fire & Ice Extreme Action Sports: The Evolution Tour on Saturday February 13th.
The event combines three of the top extreme fundamentals BMX, Freestyle Snowcross, and Freestyle Motocross. The Evolution Tour was conceived to showcase the roots of Extreme Sports and the ever popular Back Flip variations showing the evolution of the sport which was founded by BMX in the early 70’s. The tour will also combine music with the three sports in a way that will have fans out of their seats. The international tour will be showcasing top Freestyle BMX, Freestyle Snowcross, and Freestyle Motocross athletes from ESPN’s Winter and Summer X Games in a two-part event.
Each event will be composed of a competition style where each athlete will perform 60 seconds on an oval track. The track is composed of two 60 foot steel ramp-to-ramp setups with a centre floor BMX Freestyle Ramp.
A sure highlight of the night will be to witness a 400+ lb snowmobile back flipping 40 feet in the air right before your eyes, it’s just so unbelievable you have to see it for yourself. Freestyle BMX, Motocross and Snowcross riders will electrify the audience with their death-defying display of aerial acrobatics like nothing fans have ever seen before - world famous Back Flips, Super Flips, Tsunami, Corpse, Superman Seat grabs, Whips, Super Indy Can's and much more.
The showcase will start at 6pm with a meet and greet where everyone with a ticket will get the opportunity to meet the pro athletes. Showtime begins at 7:30pm with a hardcore knockout competition between the top riders who will fight for tour points to become the first World Champion of the Fire & Ice Extreme Action Sports Evolution Tour.
