LG World Championships OF FMX

I know I know, I’m not very nice when it comes to the city of Pomona.  Maybe it’s the crappy venue, The Glasshouse, or it’s possibly the hookers who hang out on the streets at 12 in the afternoon.  Or maybe it’s because a cholo tried to steal my video camera when I was an innocent youth trying to skate a crappy sidewalk hump near the high school over a decade ago.  And I know that many of you don’t know what Pomona is, but I’ll give you an analogy.  Going into Pomona (for me anyways) is like going to the dentist for a root canal.

But all bitterness aside, there’s a great Motocross event at the Pomona Fairgorunds for the L.A. County Fair.  Plus, there will be a special guest performing.  And as long as the show isn’t at the Glasshouse, I think it’s tolerable.  Read the press release below for more info.

LOS ANGELES (September 11, 2008) – Action Sports fans are in for an added treat when they attend ASA Entertainment’s (ASA) 2008 LG World Championships of Freestyle Motocross on September 27th at Fairplex in Pomona at the L.A. County Fair.
