Friday night went off huge with the 11th Annual Transworld Riders’ Poll Awards at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver.

In the last week we’ve been from Steamboat to Boulder to Denver to Boulder to Winter Park to Boulder, and tomorrow back to Steamboat.
SIA10 was a mixed bag. Some of it went well, other parts were plain awful. But more on that later, I’ll do a full critique of the show when I’ve had...
Fear and Loathing in Denver
SIA is always an intense, all-consuming series of events, but with the move to Denver, the 2010 show became a whole new beast. More floor space meant more brands, and so we found ourselves busier than ever tracking down what’s coming next, and from which company.
