The Panasonic RP-HTX7-RS headphones sport an imprint of the coveted signature of pro-skateboard phenom and teen celebrity heartthrob Ryan Sheckler. Fans visiting the Panasonic Experience tent will be able to demo the headphones while listening to a playlist of songs handpicked by Sheckler.
The Panasonic Experience tent will also feature Panasonic VIERA® high-definition plasma televisions showing photos and video footage of Ryan and a fun quiz to engage consumers and deliver branded prizes. At the digital camera demo station, fans can try out the Lumix ® DMC-TZ50 by taking pictures of their friends with life-sized replicas of the young skateboarder and then view their photos online using the camera’s wireless upload feature. A nearby fan photo gallery is constructed of Sheckler-inspired skate decks. Ryan will also visit the tent to sign autographs for attendees at each stop throughout the summer.
The program is supported by a 30-second TV spot, which also features Ryan Sheckler. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuMG2hFoP1c The spot highlights the synergy of Panasonic products and the on-the-go action sports lifestyle and drives consumers online to learn more about the new RP-HTX7-RS Limited Edition headphones.

The Panasonic Open will be followed by tour stops in Cleveland, OH, Portland, OR, Salt Lake City, UT and Orlando, FL. Each event is televised nationally by NBC Sports, MTV/MTV2 and USA Network. Recognized as the premier professional tour in its category, the AST Dew Tour offers the largest competitive purse in action sports - $2.5 million, with an additional $1 million bonus pool based on year-end tour standing.
