WHO.
You know you want our swagger. These shows feature more 8 packs and tenacious biceps than your Tyra Banks Male Model Pageant. AJ Haines, Darrin Treanor, Justin DEWitt, Seth Peterson, BJ Tomczik, Mini Mark Schlegel, Phil Book, Benny Polaschek, Calvin Burgstahler, Todd & Caleb Wittman, PirateBMX!, Colton, Lee Mies, Nick Lucas, Jason Nevonen, Evan Moyle, Nick Palmquist, and Dustin Griess.

WHAT.
If you really have to read this your “so 2000 and late”. Take this honor to witness our refined 2009 3rd Lair skatepark setup, guaranteed with thousands of whips, hundreds of flips, and depending on how high you “put your hands in the air”, fronties, flipwhips, 3doublewhips… no big deal. And don’t get our dance beats confused with your local ravE (emphasis on the E) or your satellite radio’s “bass overload”, 3rd Lair’s DJ Swamp TROG makes “them girls go ape-****”.

WHERE.
“People in the place, if you wanna get down” these stimulating shows are located in the “X-Zone” 3rd Lair Skatepark located in the northwest corner of the fair at Underwood St & Murphy Ave. Listen for “the beat that pound”.

WHEN.
Our shows take place every day of the fair, Thursday August 27th through Labor Day Monday September 7th. Each show is 20 minutes, starting sharp at 11:00am, 12:30pm, 2:30, 3:30, 5:00, 6:30, and 7:30pm. Although don’t be surprised when you find yourself aroused in an exclusive “private show”. Each show is followed by an epic “autograph session” we like to call it. Weekend shows are wild, our spectators can easily exceed four figures during one 20 minute show.

WHY.
We “got that boom boom boom”. Each show is free entertainment for visitors at the fair. We are invited back each year for a reason, not because our riding increases to another indefinable level each year, but because this is “that digital spit, next level visual ****”. Last day of shows are arguably the craziest, yet in ‘08 our first day of shows were more insane than the last day of ‘07. We’re approaching “that next **** now” and have no idea what’s about to go down for 2009.

Boom Boom Pow.

Thanks to BJ Tomczik and all of the sponsors – the 1st annual BMX Contest at the 3rd Lair was a huge success! We had just over 30 riders enter the event and there was a tom of spectators on hand to witness the mayhem!  Check out some pics from the competition held on Sunday, February 8, 2009…

All Contestants

The 2008 Minnesota State Fair went off without a hitch as usual!  This was our 8th consecutive year at the fair and I must say it was the best ever!  The 3rd Lair Demo Team was our most talented crew of guys ever to appear at the fair.  12 days straight without barely any rainouts – 8 demos a day and the boys did awesome!  This year we had a huge fingerboard park setup in out booth thanks to Tech Deck.  Next year we’ll be expanding the fingerboard park and we’ll be holding the 1st ever Tech Dech Champions Contest!!

Thanks to everyone that helped us out at the fair this year! – WE’LL SEE YOU  BACK IN 2009!!!
