Black Winter - Winterpeg PremierePosted by: Joanna Majcherkiewicz |Tagged in: Winnipeg , Travis Robb , Monster Energy , Leanne Pelosi , Eric Jackson , Black Winter , Andrew Geeves
Next on the Black Winter “prairie tour” was the fine city of Winnipeg, Manitoba featuring an IMAX screening of the movie and a hang session with athletes Eric Jackson, Leanne Pelosi and director Travis Robb. The crew at Royal Sports and Kings Snow, Skate, Surf along with Monster Energy wrangled up the snowboard community which is pretty hefty considering the town’s proximity to the mountains. But in spite of its isolation from anything considerably vertical and snowy it has produced some great riders and more recently the young Andrew Geeves (also in the movie). Premiering the movie on an IMAX screen raises the energy level a bit especially when the director is also in the house and excited to see his work projected on a 72 ft wide x 53 ft high canvas. The fine detail of the athletes “crash-face” comes across much better on a screen that size and so do those sketchy but salivary big mountain lines. But better than IMAX is having the ‘real thing’ present and have the riders connect with the audience in person by sharing stories and signing autographs. Turns out some of the best stories came from the locals, like the history lesson that Leanne Pelosi got from a Flin Flon local. Yes, Flin Flon is a town in Manitoba and it’s named after a man called Flintabody Flonitan. Let that fun word combo soak in a minute….

Damn Am Canada - 2009Posted by: Paul Rak |Tagged in: Skateboarding , Nathan LaCoste , Monster Energy , Magnus Hanson , Jeffrey Marshall , Chad Dickson , billabong , Alex Chalmers , Adam Hopkins
Bonser Skatepark
The industry watches these events closely, and it's a great place for skaters to show what they can do, and have a great time doing it.
Day One - Bowl Jam and High Ollie Contest A perfect Bowl Jam would be having Alex Chalmers as a guest judge and occasionally having him drop-in to show the skaters some lines. Well, that is exactly what happened. Alex is well known and respected in the skateboard world for his smooth and progressive bowl riding. Chalmers stoked the other skaters to get into the mood for the best trick jam. Highlights include Nathan LaCoste backside smith grinding at mach speeds and Adam Hopkins pulling off a trick on almost every corner and hip in the bowl, giving him the win.

Round 8 of the MONSTER ENERGY MOTOCROSS NATIONALSPosted by: Paul Rak |
(Sand Del Lee, Richmond, Ontario August 9th)
MX2 – The plan for the Monster Energy Leading Edge Team for this round was to stay on top and maintain their points lead. Holding on to the points lead is crucial as this is the second last round of the national tour. Monster Energy Leading Edge Kawasaki’s Teddy Maier is still on top and also increased his lead with a 4th over all by finishing 4th in moto 1 and 3rd in moto 2. Teddy’s teammates Brock Hoyer pulled off a holeshot in moto 2 and finished 10th overall and Nick Evennou struggled with a 12th in moto 1 and a DNF in moto 2. Now the team heads to Walton, Ontario for the Walton Trans-Can and the final round of the 2009 season. With all three riders inside the top 10 in points, it's been a great year for the team and hopes are high that all three riders can go out with a bang. The team is working hard to clinch their first CMRC National Championship.

(Shadow Valley Raceway, Morden Manitoba, June 28th)
Saturday’s racing and practice was cancelled as winds picked up and played havoc with tents. Once Sunday rolled around the weather started to become absolutely beautiful. As the riders checked out the track, more and more where pleased with the conditions. It was looking like we would pull off a great day of racing. And we did.

Round 3 of the MONSTER ENERGY MOTOCROSS NATIONALSPosted by: Paul Rak |Tagged in: Teddy Maier , Paul Rak , Paul Carpenter , Motocross , Monster Energy , Jack Carpenter , Edmonton , Dean Wilson , Colton Facciotti , CMRC , Castrol Raceway , Bobby Kiniry
(Castrol Raceway, Edmonton Alberta, June 21st)
The Pro practice on Saturday really showed the speeds that were possible. Surprisingly, as the day progressed, the Monster Energy Kawasaki Cernic’s Team was nowhere to be found. Finally the familiar faces of Paul and Jack Carpenter and Bobby Kiniry began to appear on track although too late for practice.
The team was not discouraged; only more excited to get the job done.
Following closely and charging hard was Teddy Maier aboard the Leading Edge Kawasaki. Teddy is now sitting pretty in 2nd is looking forward to dominating the rest of the rounds as the series moves east. Up until now Colton Facciotti has won every moto since this stop last year but his winning streak came to an end with fast performances by his teammate Dusty Klatt and Monster Energy Cernic’s team rider Paul Carpenter.
