There are so many events going on this summer that at least one of them will be taking place close to where you live. After initial plans of having the Gravity Games in California didn't work out, the quickly shove the event in the booming summer schedule with Vert being held at Woodward and street/dirt in Philadelphia. Here is the official 411 from the Gravity crew:
This year, the Games, presented by OLN, are going back to where it all began - the fertile action-sports breeding ground of Woodward, PA and the legendary streets of downtown Philadelphia. OLN chose both locations because of their history and reputation. OLN will present six hours of its signature actionmentary coverage, beginning July 23 at 5 p.m. ET.
OLN has adjusted the schedule of events for the competitions in Woodward, PA, adding an additional day to its previous June 25-29 events, and will now be holding the FMX events at Camp Woodward June 25 (practice day) and June 26, and the Skate and Bike Vert competitions on June 29 (practice day) and June 30.
The Gravity Games will then travel to the legendary streets of downtown Philadelphia at the FDR Skatepark July 11 (skate park and bike dirt practice day), 12 (skate street and skate park finals) and 13 (bike park and bike dirt finals).
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
