Boot Camp Day 2: X Games 16

July 31st, 2010

DAY 2: SATURDAY morning awoke us up from the Wilshire Grand Hotel at a decent hour as we split into groups for our VIP tour with amazing Lisa Hoyle and marketing crew from ESPN. Our X Games 16 behind-the-scenes exclusive tour took us through where Moto Step Up and Big Air at the Staples Center and Nokia LA Live Center had been jam packed the night before with thousands of roaring fans. The underground passageway between both venues was pretty rad…we got to see where the LA Lakers locker room is!!! Thanks to Kevin we checked out the BMX finals, skate street finals and rallied around into some vendor booth shenanigans as camper Justin Dahl puts a literal meaning to SPY ‘Boot Camp’…
