Flash Giveaway Nitro Circus 6/17 in San Diego!

by

SoCal Savvy Mom is partnering with Nitro Circus for a fun giveaway! This Saturday Nitro Circus is speeding into town to Qualcomm stadium. The giveaway is for a family-four pack for June 17, 2017 in San Diego at 6 PM at Qualcomm Stadium – San Diego, CA located at 9449 Friars Road, San Diego, CA 92108.

Enter to win here:

https://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/12707a8717/?

If you are not lucky enough to win don’t worry you can purchase tickets right up until showtime here.

Come see my personal favorite TRAVIS PASTRANA this weekend at Qualcomm stadium.

Action sports legend Travis Pastrana is Nitro’s fearless leader. He began riding a Honda one-speed at age 4, and despite being great at everything he tried, motocross is where he found his calling. He broke out in racing but quickly showed his versatility in freestyle. By 2005, he had accumulated a career total of five X Games gold medals, five golds from the Gravity Games, and additional wins at events including the Dew Tour and Red Bull X-Fighters. In 2006, Pastrana became the first person in the world to land a double backflip on a motorcycle during the Best Trick event at the X Games. In 2016, with the success of the inaugural Nitro World Games, Pastrana once again raised the bar for FMX and action sports in general.
