Man, those were good shows.
Once they lost rights to the Markham Fairgrounds, it all went down hill.
And the Performance World / Darknights merger thing for the 2008 Performance World show was a train wreck.
If Darknights kicked back up they way they were, the show scene I think would be a lot different for the better.
EDIT: Found an album from a 2005 show. http://rides.webshots.com/photo/1409700 ... 3944FHIkMK" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Indeed, but way too much heat from the law at Darknights

Ya, I remember lots of ppl being pulled over on the way in and out. But I think the scene has changed enough since then to avoid that crap.Nd4SpdSe wrote:Indeed, but way too much heat from the law at Darknights

Maybe, maybe not, but the problem isn't so much with the scene but with the ignorant cops and the stereotyping public.MX3-4U2NV wrote:Ya, I remember lots of ppl being pulled over on the way in and out.

Darknights was getting phased out just as F&F was coming in strong too.
