His radical tour will spread an uplifting message to today’s hard to reach youth

By Michael Ireland

Actor Stephen Baldwin, one of Hollywood’s most interesting talents in film and television today, together with some of extreme sports’ legendary athletes, will invade the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix, Arizona, to kick off the AsSALT Tour on December 15, 2007.

Baldwin, a born-again believer, will lead the day-long adrenaline rush and six-time Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum selling rock band P.O.D. (“Alive”, “Boom” and “Youth of the Nation”) will take the stage as the event’s headliner.

The AsSALT Tour is a free, radical, action sports event that will pierce the darkened hearts of today’s hard to reach youth with the truth about God. This venture, a part of Baldwin’s Global Breakthrough Ministry will reach the youth through a means that they understand – extreme sports.

The tour will feature performances by some of the extreme sports world’s most famous Christian athletes defying the laws of gravity. Performing will be icons such as : Skateboarding legends Christian Hosoi, Lance Mountain and Steve Caballero ; Freestyle BMX - Dew Tour medalist, Mike Mancuso ; Motocross – 2007 X-Games medalist for “Best New Trick”, Kyle Loza ; Element pro skateboarder – Chad Tim Tim ; Birdhouse pro skateboarder – Brian Sumner ; Foundations skateboards pro – Sierra Fellers and many others.

The mix of high energy and anticipation will be complemented by a $5,000 skate competition that challenges anyone who thinks they’ve got skills on a board to bring their “A” game. The tour will also feature a pre-event custom car show, high-energy hip-hop performances, eye-popping laser lights and special effects, and multimedia entertainment projected on jumbotrons.

When : Saturday, December 15, 2007 – All day

Where : Veterans Memorial Coliseum – Phoenix, Arizona

Cost : Free
