DC Shoes presents – Local Exposure Tour 4 “The Golden Ticket” DVD Premier Sunday, Nov. 4^th 4:30pm – 8:00 pm K1 Speed, Carlsbad!

The 2007 Local Exposure Tour was by far the largest we have ever had.  Both because of pro’s on the tour and local participants.  We brought on the best in BMX video skills Tony Ennis, Chad Shackelford, Will Stroud and Brian Purdy.  During the road trip from Albuquerque to Southern California and they captured 80 hours of footage!!!  Brian Purdy has cut and edited all that down to one bangin’ hour of madness, plus there is a half hour of bonus footage and all the music is produced by TJ Lavin.  Dave Jacobs is putting all the finishing touches on the graphics and we are inviting you all to be the first to view the finished product!

DC Shoes has rented out the entire K1 Speed Go Kart Racing facility in Carlsbad for an evening of free racing, food and drink for everyone that shows up!  There will be a ton of local pro’s from BMX, FMX, Skate and more so this is your chance to show them up on the go kart track!

After everyone gets a chance to turn their fastest lap we will have a final race showdown between the 10 fastest drivers of the evening for trophies and ultimate bragging rights.  After which we will premier The Local Exposure Tour “The Golden Ticket” DVD!!!

There will be a red carpet entry with a chance to get your photo taken and posted to the LET site.  Fuel TV will also be there shooting for “The Weekly Update with Boost Mobile”.  All media is invited to attend.  If you intend to show up please RSVP at letusknowwhatsup@localexposuretour.com so we know how much food and drink to get.

Make sure you get there early to get your name on the list for free racing.  The party goes from 4:30 pm to 8:00 pm.  Sunday Nov. 4th.

Saturday night you will change your clocks one hour back.  If you don’t change your clock you will show up an hour late.

Local Exposure Tour 4 “The Golden Ticket”

This years Local Exposure Tour was by far the largest crew we have ever put on the road.  We traveled to the South West region of the map and searched out local city and private owned bike parks for some insane unknown talent, and we didn’t get let down!

Pro riders on this years tour included Allan Cooke, 2006 LET Champion Dave Rytell, Ryan Nyquist, Cory Bohan, Colin Mackay, Chase Hawk, Alistair Whitton, Ryan “Biz” Jordan, Dave Dillewaard, Rob Wise, Mike Laird, Dom Travado, Adam Banton, Heath Pinter and special guest Laif Valin!  That was just the riders!  We also had Catfish and Micah Cranz rockin’ the mic along with Jayk and Brian Lee tattooing non stop during the trip.

This year’s tour also had by far the most footage of any tour thus far with Brian Purdy, Chad Shackelford, Will Stroud and Tony Ennis all behind the lens.  Dave Jacobs also put his touch on all the graphics and web design.  Just the “Days Off” portion of the trip was enough to make a complete DVD with Skydiving, Go Cart Racing, Motorcycle Racing and more!

Be sure to check out all the great riding footage and antics on this year’s Local Exposure Tour 4 “The Golden Ticket”.  DVD will be in stores by Thanksgiving.  Go to www.localexposuretour.com for any other updates and thanks again to our sponsors for making this year bigger than ever! DC Shoes, Boost Mobile, ww.bnqt.com, Bell Helmets, Harley Davidson, Specialized Bicycles, Fox, Kicker Audio and Ogio.

Local Exposure Tour, “The Golden Ticket” is a wrap!!!

This years Local Exposure Tour was one for the books!  With more participants than 

ever before and the largest group of pro riders, three RV's for transportation and 

three Harley's on the road "The Golden Ticket" was a huge success!

If you are new to LET what we do is pile into three RV's with the best pro's in 

BMX and as much media as we can gather.  We stop at six bmx parks and the local riders 

get a chance to be caught by our cameras as well as win a ton of product from our 

sponsors.  The grand prize or this years "Golden Ticket" is a complete sponsorship 

package for one lucky rider that gets chosen by the pro's on tour!  Go to 

www.localexposuretour.com for more details.

Congratulations to Marcos Torres who won the Escondido Sports Center stop and was 

hand selected as the top rider of the tour by all the pro's on the trip.  Marcos has a 

busy year in front of him but with a ton of support!  He now has a one year flow 

sponsorship from DC Shoes, Bell Helmets, Fox Clothing, Specialized Bicycles, and a 

Boost Pre-Paid Mobile phone with free service for one year!!!  He will be attending

the open Qualifiers at the first two stops of the Action Sports Pro Tour (expenses 

paid by LET), shooting a video part in the next S9F Production and enjoying himself 

on next years LET with all the pro's! Keep an eye on this kid for 2007!

Bonus!!!

Because the competition was so close we used a little pull to offer a second rider an 

amazing opportunity through LET!  The pro riders on the tour selected Johnny 

Stevens to receive a spot at the Free Flow Final in Orlando FL.!!!  Johnny showed 

amazing riding skillz in AZ and we just had to recognize.  LET will be flying him to 

Orlando to compete against all the winners of the Free Flow Tour events throughout 

the year. The overall winner of the Free Flow Final will have a guest spot among the 

world’s best in the ASPT Finals!  Last year Mike Spinner (who was a LET 3 

competitor) won the guest spot and qualified first among all the riders in BMX park!  

Congratulations to Johnny and Marcos!

The word is definately out that L.E.T. is the premier summer tour for BMX.  We had 

BMX riders traveling from hundreds of miles away crossing state and even 

international lines just to get a chance to ride with their favorite pro's and have a 

shot at winning some awesome prizes.  We saw some amazing talent out there just 

waiting to be exposed.  There was so much going on that we shot almost 100 hours 

of footage just for our DVD!!!

"The Golden Ticket" was all about taking it outdoors for 2007.  We visited all outdoor 

parks a few concrete and even some dirt jumps where available for the riders on 

tour. The outdoor setting also allowed for the biggest turnouts in LET history!  The 

Reed Park Wheels Court was one of the most packed locations and a couple of 

months ago bicycles where not even allowed to ride there!  Every inch of space at 

the park was completely packed.  Da Compound, in Perris CA, which is run by Shane 

Guillen was also a huge stop.  There where trains of 50 plus riders on the dirt jumps 

all day long that included local talent mixed in with pro's like Cory Bohan, Chase 

Hawk, Heath Pinter and more!  The two park sections where constantly packed as 

well. All together we visited thousands of local BMX riders and fans with our crew of 

photographers and cameramen.  The coverage that comes out of this will show that 

there is a ton of riders out there pushing the sport and that BMX is a lifestyle for so 

many young people.

You'll have to wait until Brian Purdy captures and edits the ridiculous amount of all 

HD footage that was shot by our camera crew including Chad Shackelford, Will 

Stroud and Tony.  Release for the DVD is set to be mid September '07.  This years 

soundtrack will also feature beats from BMX dirt jumping legend TJ Lavin, so be sure 

to pick it up in stores once it releases.  In the meantime there are still a few copies 

of LET 3 floating around out there so go pick one up or go here as a last resort.

We also had on the entire tour with us a three man crew from Rush HD who where 

shooting for a one hour high definition show called, "Nomads" which should air by 

the end of the year exclusively on Dish Network.

Keep an eye on Fuel TV over the next couple of weeks for "The Weekly Update with 

Boost Mobile".  Dave Mavro caught some great shots from the road and they will 

have reports on three separate shows!

We especially need to thank a few people for making this tour an awesome 

experience.
