Last Sunday, Red Bull brought the Pro/Am BMX competition to Rochester for the Trick or Treat jam at the armory.
This was a huge, fun, free event put together by the good folks at Red Bull, who have been digging their commercial claws in the underground for some time now. I commend Red Bull for helping out a lot of local artists to get exposure and support.
The evening began as BMX competition with a ramp course decorated in Halloween themes. These riders were amazing. Most of the guys riding are regulars of the X-Games and are from all over the world.
I met riders from Germany, Canada, Australia and England. They were all super cool and a lot of fun to hang with. Especially my boys out in Canada, cheers.
This portion went on for a few hours, then to kick off the after party, was local surf-scientists, The Isotopes.
Between their go-go girls, stage set and Max Power, The Isotopes did it right.
They played right before the Kink Bike company premiered their latest BMX video.
To end the whole night was a set by local hip-hop superheros, The Soul Slingers. They ended up getting on a little late because of the video, but they put on a great show with our man M Dot Coop. The sound left a little to be desired, but other than that, it was great to see our boys on the big stage at the armory. Cheers fellas.

Overall, it was really fun night and it was free. I love the sounds of that word.
Look for more Red Bull events coming through in the future and look out for The Soul Slingers at a venue near you.
Peace kids, we've got a big ass party tonight at Pearl...see you there.
