Default X Games Rally

It's been a long time since I've been on this side of the forum space, but I've been extremely busy with the MBA program and working on getting a rally foothold.

I just wanted to let you know that I am working with the X Games and Rally America on marketing and media. I hope the Pac NW folks can tune into the Rally portion of the X Games to see what I've been doing!

We're broadcasting live on ABC Sunday, Aug 3rd at two different times:

Qualifying 12pm -12:30pm
Elimination rounds 1:30pm - 3:00pm

I really hope you guys tune in and let me know what you thought!


Here is a pic of me at the X Games last year... with a photoshopped Pastrana practice jump. We had 20,000 spectators later that day.


We are keeping the 70 ft jump, but adding a few more "twists"!

Thanks! The event was amazing... And it was an extremely busy time over the 10 days in LA.

Everything with setting up the service area, athlete registration, and setting up autograph sessions. I was even able to secure a sponsorship for one of the rally teams 4 days before competition. Check it out! Looks very cool!

We went from this:


To this:


And had to stay up all saturday night helping move 400 truckloads of dirt out of the Home Depot Center and ready for the competition the next morning.

If anyone needs a bit torrent of the event you can get it at www.racing-underground.com. You'll have to sign up for the site, but it's worth it!
