Good Music & Great Extreme Sports! Does it get any better? Found this old post from allextremesports.com 1999, ENJOY!
July 22nd, 1999 The tour stopped at LaSalle Park located in Downtown Buffalo, NY. It was a hot sunny day. Near the end of the show it was amusing to see the “lobsters” checking out their burns. Like the song says “Wear your sunscreen, trust me on this one”. The concert is an all day and into the night event. I listened to bands from 12 noon to 8:30pm before calling it quits. I never got bored, due to the eye candy and extreme sport athletes that were working the crowd.
The event had a smorgasborg of vendors and booths set up. The bargain of the day was a Van’s Shirt for $10 and you get a free hat. I feel the event was run quite well. The rest room situation was adequate unlike woodstock. I also appreciated the separate facilities for us old timers over 21 in the beer tent area. Oh yeah thumbs up to the beer hostesses in the black mini skirts, but whose paying attention.
Lunachicks also warmed up the crowd inviting them over to their autograph session to get to know them better. Blink 182 was smooth, Ice Mutha F@!#ing T was large and in charge. Rapper Eminem was working the crowd despite his bruised ribs from a mishap. We all put our middle finger in the air to help show him the love to help him forget his pain. Black Eyed Peas, Molotov, Pennywise and the list goes on rocked the large crowd. Fenix’s lead singer looked at me and said “Sir, run around and start a mosh pit. I felt old and cool at the same time. I’m not a kid and most of the crowd seemed to be half my age.
The extreme sports were very cool to watch. The motocross guys had the crowd on edge with their death defying moves. I thought the half pipe athletes had some style. Especially the Rollerskater. I believe his name is Brian Wainwright he was dropping in heel to heel simulating a skateboard. The tricks he can pull on them are really amazing. Thumbs up for his originality and style!
The Music, Extreme Sports, Women, Etc. were all awesome. If you get the chance to check out the tour. . . do it! I will be at next years for sure! Hope to see ya there!
