There were lots of give-a-ways at the sessions thanks to our supporters Stowaway distribution, Mutts scooters and 4 skateboard Co. A big thank you to the Town of Port Hedland for getting behind the youth of the area and supporting such a great event.

Tánh is a game player

Freestyle Now squad member Tánh Gà recently was the driving force behind getting the Saigon X games Day up and rolling to help promote bmx and skateboarding throughout Saigon, his home city. The day has nothing to do with the X Games that we are so familiar with but it is a title that people in Vietnam can associate with. In Vietnam the term play bmx is used much more than ride bmx. The contest day took place at various locations around Saigon.
Tánh seems to be getting the bmx scene in Saigon cranking hard. From organizing the first SXD (Saigon X games Day) with support from UFO Streetwear and LightFest the offers from others sources are now wanting to help out with the next SXD that are being planned. The day got some magazine coverage and the video below is super rad. All of this coverage will no doubt assist with generating more hype for the upcoming events.

This is what Tánh has to say “1 year I got 4 contests, that is everything player want, funny contest for beginner and really contest for real player. Waiting for clip Saigon X-game day and use that for find more sponsor. So when finish the 1st x-game day, much of people like it. Now I work in Jett Cycles bike shop and many kids come and say I see you in X-game day and want ridding too. Some guy wants to make for us website for community x-gamer. So that’s all and trying to better at everything riding, better event After contest, I dream got enough sponsor to build the halfpipe, what do you think?”
We think it’s so rad to have a day like this out in the streets promoting what we all live for, Tánh has the true essence of the Freestyle Now sprit.
