| MATIX AMS GOING GREEN TOUR |
|
GOING GREEN AND MAKING PROGRESS! At Matix, progress is everything. So when we looked at hosting an Am tour this year, we were encouraged by Matix am team rider Torey Pudwill to look at alternative fuel vehicles and Hybrid technology for our road trip, as a way of contributing toward a “greener” environment. Along with Torey’s encouragement for skateboarders to drive Hybrid vehicles, we here at Matix couldn't say no to adopting four Hybrid vehicles for this epic tour of the southwestern hemisphere, thanks to our friends at David Wilson’s Southbay Toyota. If you're gonna be in the Gilbert, AZ area or the South Jordan, UT area in June, please join the Matix am team at the shops listed below for an autograph signing, great giveaways and hanging in the Hybrids! Torey Pudwill, Mike Mo Capaldi, Lamare Hemmings, Marty Murawski, Jordan Williams and Mike Anderson encourage you to choose Hybrid technology in the future, for the future. For more information on Toyota’s Hybrid Technology, please visit www.toyota.com. And if you’re interested in purchasing a Toyota Hybrid Vehicle, please visit www.southbaytoyota.com. |

| MFM ON MILOSPORT |
|
PRESS RELEASE - Long time friend of Milosport and Utah resident, Marc Frank Montoya has added Milo as another sponsor to his already long list of sponsors. We are very excited to add MFM to the roster of our heavy hitting pros. The Milosport snowboard team is the best teams around, with people like Jeremy Jones, JP Walker, Seth Huot, Jon Kooley, Mikey Leblanc, Nate Bozung, Justin Bennee, Aaron Biittner, Mark Edlund and many others, representing the shop (see www.milosport.com for full team list). It just made sense to have Marco ride for Milo, since we back Nitro, Tech 9, and Section, which are his main snow sponsors along with a long laundry list of other sponsors. Aside from being a top shredder, Marco has his hands in a few other businesses. Everyone knows about The Block Hotels, but now he is also hooked up with Mona-Vie (check out: www.mymonavie.com/mfm). Milosport has been around since 1984, started by Dimitrije Milovich (founder of Winterstick Snowboards), we have been supporting the snow scene ever since.

| TRAVIS RICE AND JAMIE ANDERSON WIN US OPEN |
|
STRATTON, Vt. (March 16, 2007) – Travis Rice and Jamie Anderson won today’s slopestyle competition at the 25th Annual US Open Snowboarding Championships held at Stratton Mountain Resort. Travis and Jamie each took home $20,000, Motorola cell phones and $5,000 each for winning the Snickers Best Trick Awards. “I’ve been competing at the US Open since 1998,” said Travis Rice. “My mom brought me when I was 15, and it was the first time I saw the pros compete in person. So I’m stoked to win my first US Open slopestyle title. It was definitely tough conditions out there for us gladiators, so I’m glad we made it through it.” Jamie Anderson, whose entire family gathered in Vermont to cheer her on, had this to say about her win today, “The US Open is a really huge contest, and I’m stoked to win.” Heavy snows on the East Coast slowed down the slopestyle competitors, who each had three runs to get their best scores. Travis Rice made the best of it, winning his first US Open slopestyle competition with a frontside boardslide on the first rail to a backside 720 Japan air, frontside 720 melon grab, backside rodeo 720 nosegrab, switch backside 180 and a front boardslide to 270 off on the final rail. Travis’ backside rodeo 720 on the third jump also earned him the Snickers Best Trick award and an extra $5,000. Finnish rider Janne Korpi impressed the judges with his frontside boardslide, backside 720 mute grab, frontside 900 melon grab, Cab 720 mute grab, switch backside 720 and ending with a half Cab boardslide on the rail, earning a second place win. 2006 US Open slopestyle champion Shaun White took third place on the slopestyle podium with a boardslide to fakie, switch backside 540, frontside 1080, backside 720 mute grab, Cab 900 ending with a lipslide on the final rail. In the women’s competition, a diverse group of ladies from six different nations including Austria, Australia, Canada, Great Britain, Germany and the United States with ages ranging from 16 to 31 rode in the slopestyle finals. 2006 US Open slopestyle champion Hana Beaman did her best to reclaim her title. But it was sixteen-year-old Jamie Anderson who earned first place with a run that included a frontside 180 indy grab, Cab 540, frontside 360, method air and a nose press to tail press on the last rail. Jamie’s smooth Cab 540 earned her the Snickers Best Trick award as well. 2006 US Open halfpipe champion Torah Bright took second place in the women’s competition with her first run and British rider Jenny Jones took the third place spot on the podium. After today’s slopestyle finals, Janne Korpi took the lead in the Burton Global Open Series standings with Kevin Pearce behind him by less than 100 points. For the women, Torah Bright took the top spot. Tomorrow’s US Open halfpipe competition is the final chance for riders have to win the Burton Global Open Series championship, which awards $100,000 each to the winning male and female riders. In the TTR World Tour Ranking List, Shaun White moved from 4th to TTR World Nr. 1 spot. Travis Rice moved from 13th to 4th place and Kevin Pearce moved from first to second place.

| Quiksilver Canis Lupus Challenge March 10th, 2007 |
|
On Saturday, March 10, The Canyons will host the Quiksilver Canis Lupus Challenge. In the old days, it was called The Natural (natural half-pipe) and the James Bond trail (for resembling a banked bobsled run). Call it what you will. Canis Lupus is a mile-long gulley that serves up banked walls, turn after turn and whoop-de-doos that will throw you off track if you are not prepared. There will be a few banked slalom gates at the top, then a "not-so-straight shot to the finish." Event Details: Entry Fee is $20 and does not include a lift ticket. Each competitor will be given one timed run, with the top ski and ride scores competing in the Finals. The best single time will then win. 5 seconds will be added to final time for missed gates. Helmets required. Schedule 8:00 am - 9:30 am: Registration at Smokie's Smokehouse 11:00 am - 11:45 am: Course Inspection 11:45 am: Riders' Meeting 12:00 pm: Race Start 3:00 pm: Awards on stage in the Forum $2,000 cash purse - plus other prizes!
