Being my first show out of the great state of Idaho, one could only imagine how the excitement was built up and ready to explode once I arrived into Winchester, VA for Show n' Shine productions Summer Slam. After last years event I was more then ready to capture the festivities on film.After having some friends in Baltimore pick me up from the airport, it was time to head out and get the party started. We arrived at sundown Friday night and the camp area was already filling up fast with more rides and partygoers on the way. After getting with Jay I got my hotel information, dropped my things off and headed back to the show. At this point the beads where already flying ensuring that the weekend had begun. With the night getting late, I went back to the hotel and chilled with John from Negative Camber till we all decided to call it a night.Come Saturday morning Jay took me to my rental so that I had the freedom of getting the show covered along with grabbing features through out the weekend. When I arrived to the show grounds I was surprised to see that the number of rides in attendance was double then when I left the night before. Pushing 500 rides this show was much improved from the year before and I'm sure it will only keep growing. Once there I started making my rounds to get coverage only to notice the number of quality rides had increased as well. This would only make one problem, who do I feature and when. It would be nice to run into this problem at every show I attended. While making my way through vender row (okay it's more like a circle but you get the point), it was nice to see Dropem' Wear and the Hawaiian Tropic girls in attendance. After doing the usual shmoozing it was time to get back into the show field and find some rides to do features with.

With features shot along with the show, it was time to go to the hotel and freshin' up before heading back to where the fun would all begin. Once I arrived back to the show field I happen to run into the model I was using for one of my features. To much of my surprise, okay and enjoyment, she was licking on some boobies and making out with some chick. This was just a taste of what was to come for the night as things got much more crazy. Through out the night beads where handed out and there was straight up naked-ness roaming the campgrounds. If you've never attended one of Show n' Shine Promotions shows on their tour, I'd suggest giving it a peek!By Garrick ArendsNight pics by Chris and Jeff Hartsell
