Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Whether you're a fan of grinding asphalt or just grinding greasy barbecue into your face, Journeys Backyard Barbeque Tour has what you need. Sponsored by those purveyors of Chuck Taylors and all kinds of puffy skateboarding shoes, the event features live demonstrations by skateboard, wakeboard, BMX and motocross athletes. The event will be loaded with XGames and Metal Mulisha stars, featuring old-school skateboard champion Christian Hosoi, wakeboard world champion Scott Byerly and more. Christian metal band P.O.D. will be also perform a free concert, no doubt playing their hit song “Youth of the Nation” to an audience that is not quite as youthful as when they first had it stuck in their collective heads. The live music will also include a Battle of the Bands featuring local musicians. The boarders, bikers and wakeboarders start catching air at noon at Grapevine Mills Mall, 3000 Grapevine Mills Parkway, Grapevine. Admission is free.

Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
