Interbike weekend in Las Vegas sparks a wide spectrum of emotions for people throughout the bicycle industry. This year’s trip for Tangent was historical to say the least.
The night of Nora Cup we started out at Hart and Huntington Tattoo shop in the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. We met up with Khalen Young and a bunch of BMX pros, both race and freestyle. Owner and Motocross legend Carey Hart was there to hang out and start the night off right. If you have never been to his shop, you should go check it out. Carey and his crew have a clean shop that can cater to any style of tattoo you maybe looking for. KY became the first person to ever tattoo the Tangent logo forever on his body…as far as we know. This is a great honor for Tangent. It’s not every day that the number one pro tattoos your company logo on his hand.
After the tattooing was done we headed over to the Mirage for Nora Cup. This year was as stellar as all the rest, a big party to showcase the best of the best in BMX. In case you’re not aware, the NORA Cup award is given to one rider in his discipline of riding, and even includes a best video clip award. We had a great time seeing all of our friends and stayed until the party stopped.
Oh yea, the show… Be ready for lots of new and exciting things from Tangent Products this year! We will leave it at that for now…………
