LOS
ANGELES (August 24, 2011) – ASA Entertainment is proud to announce
that the 9th Annual ASA World Championships of Freestyle
Motocross (FMX) will return to the Pomona Fairplex this year during
the final weekend of the L.A. County Fair, on Saturday, October 1
(starting at 7:30 pm). The best motorcycle aerialists in the
industry, including two-time defending champion Mike Mason (Minden,
Nevada) and four-time FMX World Champion Nate “the Destroyer”
Adams (Glendale, AZ), have qualified to compete in a series of
head-to-head battles for the title of 2011 World Champion of
Freestyle Motocross.


In
2010, Adams was in position to capture his 5th World
Championships trophy, but in the final round he met Mason (and a few
mechanical problems with his bike) that lead to Mason’s winning his
second World Championships title in a row. Adams and Mason will have
to contend with a full field of the world’s top pros that have
qualified for this prestigious contest, including stars such as Taka
Higashino, Levi Sherwood, Todd Potter, Mat Rebeaud, Dany Torres, Rob
Adelberg, Wes Agee and many more. All the riders will have to throw
down their biggest tricks in this unique head-to-head contest that is
sure to be filled with the full-throttle intensity that makes these
pros the best in the world.



“The progression in freestyle motocross over the past few years has
been nothing short of incredible”, said Rick Bratman, CEO of ASA
Entertainment Group, the event’s owner and producer. “Fans will
not believe what these pros can do on a dirt bike with 100’
back-flip variations, 360’s, no-handed tricks and so much more. Of
the 150 events we produce each year, this is my favorite for its
artistry and no-guts, no-glory attitude. Fans in So Cal do not want
to miss this.”


Tickets
are on sale now and only $22.50 for box seats and $18.50 for reserved
seats for this one-night only event. They can be purchased at the
Fairplex Box Office, all Ticketmaster outlets, Tickemaster.com or by
calling 800 745 3000 to charge them by phone. Fair admission is
separate.


The ASA World
Championships of Freestyle Motocross will be broadcast nationally in
November via three hours of coverage on FOX Sports Net (FSN). For
