We can't wait to have SWOOP Productions back this year for two shows: the  BLACK ICE SHOOT-OUT on Friday night and a Saturday afternoon downtown West Yellowstone exhibition, two different exciting, thrilling and inspiring sport-bike freestyle shows for bike fanatics of all ages. On Friday night, at the West Yellowstone Ice Skating Rink (just off Faithful Street), SWOOP will be putting on a Black Ice Shoot-Out starting at 7:00 PM. An Autograph session will follow. There is no charge for this, but it is weather/ice dependent. Afterward, make sure to head over to the Holiday Inn right after the Shoot-Out for the popular Casino Night.

Saturday, 4:00 PM show will be on Canyon Avenue in downtown West Yellowstone. No charge, just some great stunts, burnouts, tires blowing up, crazy circle wheelies, insane stoppies, acrobatics, and more! Swoop stunts sport bikes including Kawasaki, Honda, and Harley! There will be another autograph sessions after the show, just go to the SWOOP trailer!

First Time to EXPO? Racing and other outside events take place just west of Iris Avenue on the 'old' airfield. Bleachers are constructed from huge snow piles and sit high so you can see down into the snow course track and aerials area. Make sure to dress warmly, bring an outdoor chair, or blankets too. There will be hot and cold beverages, and food available as well.
You can park near Iris Street or along Yellowstone Avenue, or just at your hotel or motel. Free shuttles will run throughout the day and early evenings from the race area to the Exhibition Hall at the Holiday Inn to motels and hotels, and by the Swap Meet and Motorcycle Freestyle.
