Independent 30th Anniversary Tour Shreds Missoula!

New photos and links! So as you could expect, the Missoula stop of the Independent Trucks 30th Anniversary tour went off. And when I say it went off, I mean it WENT OFF! We had an epic turnout down at the park on a beautiful sunny day and everyone who showed up to watch was treated to some serious shredding. With the likes of Omar Hassan, Peter Hewit, Al Partanen, Darren Navarette, Emanual Guzman, Tony T, Jeff Grosso, Rick Howard, Brian Anderson, Chet Childress, Tosh Townend, Peabody, Sammy Baca, Sam Hitz, David Gravette, and Grant Taylor descending on MOBASH we all knew it was gonna be a day we'd all remember.


Shralping was going down for at least a solid 3 hours, while Kyle and Joe from EOW helped make sure all the burgers and hot dogs were filling everyone's bellies.

Dylan, Jaymie and Ayden from Four Seasons Skatepark were slanging drinks to help raise money for the new indoor park they are working on in Missoula and keeping everyone hydrated.

Zak Stevens and Indigo Armstrong from Bernice's Bakery surprised the whole crew with a custom Independent cake! Zak took a bunch of photos too. Check em out below. Thanks again you guys.

Indigo is an amazing cake maker-baker and even hand delivered this Independent custom cake. Wow. Photo by Zak Stevens

Even our Northwest NHS reps Brice and John showed up to help make sure the event went off in every way.


Later that night the crew showed up for the Aftermath Party Funtime show down at the Badlander to watch Bacon & Egg and Black Velvet Elvis kick out some jams in honor of the tour. Then we were treated to a rock out jam session by Tony T. and Sam Hitz.

Be sure to check out the Thrasher Website for some video footage of all the goodness.
Rumor has the crew made it up to Sk8 Ignatius the next day for some more concrete murdering; better head to Thrasher to see for yourself. All in all it couldn't have been a better day and we are psyched these dudes got a good taste of Montana while they were here. Good luck on the rest of the tour and thanks again!
