FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Vancouver, B.C. Canada (Jan. 4, 2010)

Monster Energy Canada is pleased to announce the addition of snowboarder Mark Sollors to our team. This hardworking BC native, known for his ability to attack any terrain with equal skill, has been on a steady rise in recent years. Coming off of a strong year and featured in videos such as Burton’s “The B” and Variety Pack’s “Not Bad”, Mark rounded out his year by winning the Boost Mobile “SnoSho” Big air in Australia this past August.

Burton teammate Jeremy Jones says of Mark:

"Mark is obviously ripping or I wouldn't be writing this quote.  A bit sensitive when you dis his music (hence the nickname “Crypod”), but when he is done pouting in the corner, homie is blasting a 1080 every way over hundred foot kickers and tearing apart the street scene.  The saying runs true... “Shut up and Shred” with this kid."

As a member of the Burton team, Sollors has a very busy winter traveling and filming and shooting around North America and the world and will be one to watch in the coming years. Mark is very exited to be a part of the Monster Energy team and is looking forward to being a part of one the sickest lineups in snowboarding.

Canadian Arenacross Championship Round 5
Chilliwack, B.C., Canada
Dec. 19th, 2009
 
This Dec.19th was the one evening event of the Nex Trax Canadian Arenacross Championships. Usually a two evening double-header, the racers only had one night to show their skills. The Chilliwack Heritage Park was once again the stage for this action packed night.

MX2 Main: Monster Energy Leading Edge Kawasaki athlete Brock Hoyer rode his best, as the last Arenacross of the 2009-year brought out more American riders then before. Brock charged hard taking the podium in 3rd place. His teammate Brady Sheren rode his KXF250 to an unfortunate 7th. Brady, a Supercross veteran, is hoping to bounce back for the final two rounds in January.

Open Main: The Open was again a struggle for the Monster Energy Leading Edge Kawasaki Team. Brock did get a good start but was slowly pushed back just missing the podium in 4th place. However, still leaving himself in the hunt for the Championship. Brady Sheren finished again in 7th.

Teammate Kris Foster had a crash in qualifying and with a swollen wrist pushed threw to finish 8th in the Lites and 9th in the Open.

As the Nex Trax Canadian Arenacross Championships slowly comes to an end, the Monster Energy Leading Edge Kawasaki Team will be striving to push their limits in the last two rounds on Jan. 8th and 9th 2010.

Vancouver, B.C., Canada (Dec. 17, 2009)

The Rickshaw Theatre was the perfect  location for a Standard Films' "Black Winter" screening and the notorious Partysnake's "Again" premier.

People started lining up in the rain almost an hour before the doors opened and soon filled the sidewalk. The Rickshaw was packed with a who's who of Vancouver's snowboard scene and they were treated to a screening of "Black Winter" that had them screaming for more. Nobody captures snowboarding like the guys from Standard Films.

After a product toss stoked out the crowd the infamous Partysnake slithered its way onstage and "Again?" was unleashed on the loyal crowd of snake lovers. "Again?" is the latest in a long tradition of partyshred movies from Canada and is the unloved orphan of Whiskey and Wildcat parents. After all was said and done we had packed 550 people in the theatre.
