For the first time ever, the Augusta Entertainment Complex will play host to the world’s top action sports athletes when the ASA Big Air Triples (Triples) heads to the James Brown Arena on Saturday, June 19th. During two shows, top pros in BMX and Skateboard will take on the challenge of the 195-foot long Triples course, consisting of a 25-foot high roll-in ramp, two 25-foot wide jumps and a course-ending quarter-pipe, all while grabbing “big air” to perform their flips, whips, flairs and spins for the event titles. Previous ASA Big Air Triples events have included the talents of 2009 X Games gold medalist and recent BMX Triples event champion
Scotty Cranmer (Howell, New Jersey); two-time, 2009 BMX Triples event champion
Ryan Guettler (Queensland, Australia); and 2008 BMX Triples event champion
Rob Darden (Greenville, North Carolina); in addition to X Games medalists
Ryan Nyquist (Los Gatos, California) and
Daniel Dhers (Caracas, Venezuela). The competition’s head-to-head format stretches the athletic limits of these competitors and brings the fans to the edge of their seats in anticipation of the outcome.
All the excitement takes place at 3:00 p.m. and again at 7:30 p.m. on June 19. Tickets for the ASA Big Air Triples range in price from $60.00 for reserved floor seats, which include a private pre-event autograph session with the pros, to $18.00 for upper bowl seating. Starting Friday, April 23, tickets will be available at georgialinatix.com, by phone at 877-4AUGTIX, or at the James Brown Arena Box Office.
