So what exactly will they have there? 

The Motorcycle hillclimbing is just incredible, and you'll see motorcycles like you'll see nowhere else. Everything ranging from 300 horsepower, nitro Harley's, to shrieking, wailing, multi-cylinder 2-strokes all weekend. You'll see a few riders go right over the top of any of the three, different hills at the Big Nasty, and then there are those that don't make it...

This is the year that they take over the night with the new McALVAIN Group of Companies Big Nasty Night Show.

If you think that hillclimbing in the daylight is cool, just wait until you see it at night.

They will also have some new bands, led by our headliner, Dirty Rooster Lollipop including Fifty Seven Hevy, on Friday and Saturday night.

They are also going to have "pumpkin shooting," a sport that features pumpkins flying at targets at over 900mph.

They also have Rockies Diner/MonaVie, Metal Mulisha Freestyle Show returns, featuring Justin Homan and Keith Sayers, fresh off of their medal-winning performances at the Chinese X-Games. Does a motorcycle upside down, 40 feet in the air, sound like it might be fun to watch?

They will also be offering Helicopter rides, a Carnival with rides such as the Bullet and a roller coaster, and games like fishes and balloon pop. (Read more about the
Fun Time Carnival
here.)

They are bringing in a mechanical bull
