Ricardo Laguna is hosting a charity dirt MTB & BMX contest in Lake Havasu, AZ on Oct. 27. The event is to help raise money to build a memorial skate park honoring Patrick Tinnell, a Lake Havasu local who used to ride and was killed while on duty in the armed forces in the Middle East. All of the money that will be raised will go towards building this new park that will benefit the kids. RL: "This is the first year we're holding this event, and we're expecting the 3,000-seat arena to be packed with spectators. We've already confirmed that Pat "Big Daddy" Laughlin, Colton Satterfield, Josh Hult, Ben Snowden, Matthew Olsen, Jake Kinney and TJ Ellis and many more will be competing, plus Fat Tony will be announcing!"
Sign ups are open online where you can save money by registering in advance. Pro sign ups are $40 online, $50 at the event, and Amateurs are $10 online, $15 at the event. Check out the course layout to see the Pro and Amateur lines!
There is a $5,000 Pro purse, and Amateurs will receive prizes from DK Bicycles, TSG, Sidewall and more!
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
