Ray's Place Presents:

TNT FREESTYLE MOTOCROSS:

Scheduled FMX demo to “whip” crowd into frenzy

WHEN:        Saturday, July 7, Kent Heritage Festival

WHAT:        TNT Freestyle Motocross show -- the riders will be jumping 35 feet into the air over an 80-foot gap on two Red Bull freestyle ramps. Admission is free and open to the public.

WHERE:      Historic Downtown Kent on Franklin Avenue

WHO:          Top freestyle motocross (FMX) riders Tommy “Tom Cat” Clowers and Jeff “Full Tilt” Tilton will perform the mind-boggling, in-the-air tricks that have made FMX the highlight event at each X Games.

                   Clowers, an eight-time X-Games medalist and the Step-Up world record-holder, is a pioneer of freestyle motocross and has helped to develop it into the most popular action sport today.  Tilton is known for throwing a gnarly trick called a “whip,” in which the motorcycle is completely flat and sideways while flying in the air. The duo will also be executing other FMX tricks like the “rock solid,” “no-handed whip,” and the “double nac.”
