Off-road truck driver Bryce Menzies will give new meaning to the term “high noon” when he launches his Pro 2 truck over a Southwest ghost town later this year. For the jump, Menzies will pilot his two-wheel drive Pro 2 short course truck, which boasts 900 horsepower and 500 lb.-ft. of torque, over the frontier ghost town located in the American Southwest. With only modest modifications being made to the truck, Menzies will look to exceed the current off-road truck distance record of 332 ft.

This is a film about Andre Hamm and his journey to compete at the 2018 Winter olympics for Costa Rica.
“Hello Everyone! My name is Andre Moreno Hamm and I am a Costa Rican slopestyle skier and 2018 Winter Olympic Hopeful. I grew up in Boulder, Colorado with a Costa Rican mother and an American father. I visited Costa Rica often to see my family there so I was able to develop a strong connection with the country and a deep love for skiing in Colorado. I started competing out of Winter Park, Colorado and after I graduated from High School I moved to Utah to go to school, train, and ski. I love everything about skiing! From competing internationally to hitting massive jumps to shredding pow lines with my friends, I am always happiest on my skis. I am so excited to be able to follow my dream and represent Costa Rica in hopes of competing in the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea.”
What a day and what a race. Danny ‘The Redcar Rocket’ Hart won his first ever UCI DH World Cup in Lenzerheide by just 0.096s ahead of current World Cup overall leader Aaron Gwin. Gwin set the pace early on and once again looked to have laid down a run that was not going to be matched, especially when the most successful male World Cup racer of all time and last year’s Lenzerheide winner, Greg Minnaar, crossed the line 1.60s back from the American, it became clear that something special would be needed to topple Gwin.
Dominator of the women’s scene with ten consecutive wins to her name, Rachel Atherton was next down the hill. Her split times were a familiar green as she made her way down the track, making time on her opponents on each split. As she crossed the line she’d secured the hot seat with an incredible advantage of 5.710s.
