We are looking for a group of adventure minded folks who would like to Experience the launch of the Push Games. Please feel free to forward this invitation on to folks who might be interested...
For the first event this year, most of our participants will be weekend warrior types. Most of us have experience in 2-4 of these sports, and are far from professionals. For those events where you have no experience, we will arrange an introduction / lesson.
For those of you who are competetive, we will be covered by the media, and will will crown the "World Champion of Action Sports" No one has yet crowned a Crossover Champion... For those of us who have day jobs, we will also be awarding "Executive Class" Championships... and some fun awards.
The event will be professionally captured on video, and all participants will receive a copy of the event video.
Here is some media coverage generated last year on 10 News for the first "father son Push" event.
