Extreme Torque Show - Nissan, Washington.

Sunday me & Arran went to the Extreme Torque Show @ Nissan, Washington. Its the first time we have been to this event but it has been running for a few years now. There was a massive queue to get into the car park but plenty of spaces when we arrived at 10pm. Saying that there was already loads of people already there and through the gate. The queue for the cash tickets on the day was two people, the queue for pre paid tickets was 200+ people long, they had a long wait but they saved a few quid. I was £17 & Arran £8. Once past the ticket gate the show was based 100% outside so thank god it did not pour down. There was three stunt arena's - Urban - local trails lads, couple on bmx's, one doing basketball and four parkour lads from down south. Their show was canny but the trials lads could have used more of the stun stands they had out.
Extreme area - some bloke putting a Nissan on two wheels three times - not very impressive to be honest, a bloke going around in a mono wheel motor bike, this was defo not extreme in any circumstances. Four FMX riders who were getting some massive air, three stunt riders on tricked out motorbikes (similar to Dave Coates) then two of them went onto drag motorbikes, they were loud and smoking back tyres. To finish that show off was four lads in the ball cage - now they were impressive, especially when there was three on them in there at once!
Torque arena - drift cars & monster trucks. The monster trucks were impressive but only did two runs each and was over in 10mins. The red truck broke on the first show (see video clip below) as he nearly tipped it over. The drag cars where good to watch but the circuit was quite small with only three turns in.
There was a couple of local business's there but not many and a funfair with burger vans etc.
To be honest I have been and seen and will not be going again. Gate price was too expensive and by all accounts they sold 18,000 tickets by 11.30am!!! work that that out, mega £££'s.
Bikewise at the Police HQ is a better day out and way cheaper!
