Tehachapi, CA (5/26/11)—This summer marks the first in a new and exciting contest series, unlike any before it.
The 2011 MegaRamp Open at Woodward West, taking place on June 9, is the first event of the inaugural season of the MegaRamp Championship Series.
Many of the world’s top MegaRamp riders will converge at Woodward West for the first full-sized MegaRamp event of 2011. Athletes confirmed to attend include: current reigning (2007–2010) MegaRamp Skateboard World Champion Bob Burnquist (BRA); X Games double gold medalist Jake Brown (AUS); Andy MacDonald (USA); Adam Taylor (USA); and Lincoln Ueda.
From BMX, look for; Vince Byron (AUS); Zack Warden (USA); Morgan Wade (USA); Ben Snowden (USA), Ben Voyles (USA), Coco Zurita (CL), Jed Mildon (NZ) (recenly landed the first triple backflip on a BMX bike) and Austin Coleman (USA). Judges include skateboard legends Danny Way, Christian Hosoi, and BMX stars Kevin Robinson, Cory Nastazio and Simon Tabron.
The event is open to both pros and top ams and spectators are welcome to attend. The contest will be judged during a jam format in which athletes will drop nine stories, jump a 70-ft gap, land at 45 mph, and then ride the 27-ft high quarter pipe to fly 50 feet in the air.
MegaRamp athletes redefine what’s possible on a skateboard and a BMX bike.
The MegaRamp Championship Series features four contests taking place on full-sized MegaRamp structures. Athletes accumulate scores based on their results at each stop. The athlete with the highest overall scores from each of skateboarding and BMX will be crowned the overall winner of the MegaRamp Champion Series in their sport.
