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

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.
