Rick Thorne aka The Biker In Black, has put in his time touring the world for the last 25 years in action sports and music doing exhibitions, contests and events. It was time to take all his experiences and create his own tour,
"I feel that action sports and music are so closely tied together", says
Thorne,
"I wanted to create an event that could give kids a chance to see live music on the street course to ride to, with a featured pro demo and provide them with a chance to get sponsored all at one time.
