Extreme Motorsports Expo To Feature Half-Pipe Motorcycle Jump

Extreme motorsports diehards, as well as those new to the sport, are setting their sights on the fourth annual Extreme Motorsports Expo, set to thunder into the Orange County Fairgrounds and Expo Center May 19-21, 2006.

The largest event of its kind on the West Coast, Extreme Motorsports Expo promises a weekend of non-stop thrills and chills that kicks off Friday, May 19th with Orange County's own Jonnie Landers, the Ball of Steel stuntman, attempting to do a half-pipe on a motorcycle. This jump has been done on bikes and skateboards but never before on a motorcycle. Landers will attempt the half-pipe each day of the show. Other event highlights will include the breathtaking "Ball of Steel" Show and FMX jumping - backflips and all!

Spread out over more than 11 acres of outdoor exhibits on the Fairgrounds and 128,000 sq. ft. of indoor exhibits at the Expo Center, the 2006 Extreme Motorsports Expo will be overflowing with hot new sand buggies, 4 x 4's, prerunners, 50's, ATV's, lifted trucks, sand rails, street and dune buggies, Jeeps monster trucks, motorcycles, Hummers, cycles, karts, toy haulers, extreme carts and the newest "must-have" products for off-road and outdoors enthusiasts.

Extreme Motorsports Expo has quickly gained a reputation for featuring high profile, off-the-chart events, and the 2006 show will be no exception. The most anticipated of these include:

-- RBP Diesel Performance will award a fully-loaded Ford F-550 valued at $100,000 on Sunday, May 21st at 5:00pm. This truck features engine modifications like RBP custom ceramic coated exhaust, Airaid air intake, Edge Products, Juice module with Attitude in cab controller, custom 243" suspension lift with King piggyback shocks, fabricated by BTW Performance in Azusa, CA. Also packaged on this truck are 22.5 Alcoa wheels with 49" industrial 100,000-mile rubber, full A-pillar gauges, custom sound system with three TV's, full custom leather and suede interior rap up the inside and much more. Registration for this one-of-a-kind truck has been open for the past year and will culminate in the gala giveaway at Extreme Motorsports Expo.

-- "Best of Sand" and "Giants of Off Road" featuring the premier sand buggies in the industry and showcasing the latest and greatest lifted trucks and prerunners, rock crawlers, Jeeps, 4x4's and all-terrain vehicles.

-- San Diego Off Road Coalition will award a Chenoweth Exodus Sand Buggy valued at more than $60,000 on Sunday, May 21st at 3:30pm.

Other signature events that have made Extreme Motorsports Expo such a success in its first three outings are back for a fourth year, including:

-- The Amazing Ball of Steel Stunts will present multiple shows daily filled with outrageous wheelies, freestyle motorcross jumps, backflips and various freestyle tricks including "The Superman," "Cliffhanger," "No Footer Can Cans," and "Heel Clickers." These daredevils will also perform the breathtaking "Ball of Steel Show" which brings three motorcycle riders together in a 20-ft. high round steel cage traveling over and under at the same time. The "Ball of Steel Show" is the Australian Chase Race and no other team has been able to perform this feat successfully.

-- Monster "Cool Bus" Rides, offered multiple times daily, feature a fully-tricked out school bus that does impossible stunts designed to shock and delight passengers and spectators alike.
