Tooker and Cooke in Fargo

IMG_3062
Last weekend, Haro brand manager, Allan Cooke and myself went up to Fargo, North Dakota to visit to the local Scheels and ride in a Jam at Dike West Skatepark. Neither of us had been up there before so I knew it was going to be an adventure.

Scheels is a sporting goods store that carries just about everything having to do with outdoor fun. They had the 2011 Haro line out on the floor already. Allan worked pretty hard on the 2011 stuff, so he was pumped to see the bikes in a store for the first time.

Next was the Jam at Dike West. The park was cement and super smooth. I wasn't sure how many kids would make it out to the jam because I'd never thought of Fargo, ND as a place for a BMX scene, but on the day of the jam kids traveled from all over. The turnout was great. The whole day was super chill. We taught the kids how to do flyout barspins and they even got Allan to do a flyout backflip, hahaha!! By the end of the Jam we did a product toss into one of the bowls and all the kids were pumped.

A successful, fun trip to say the least!
