LM: What are the hydro drags?
MP: Hydro drags is an event held in Polk County Florida at the USA national ski hall of fame. There are several classes where two riders compete in a straight line to see who can cross the finish line at the very end of the course. During the middle of the day, there is a freestyle demo with both amateur and pro riders.

LM: What did you do at the Hydro Drags?
MP: While I attended the hydro drags, I set up my first up tent, and displayed Two liquid militia bannars, and one Xmetal banner along with my freestyle hull out in front, with free liquid militia 25% off coupon bags with stickers inside. During slow times I visited friends, and relaxed in a chair with my feet up. During my freestyle routine I threw out T shirts to the crowed , and hyped them up to make sure they were having a good time, I to also promote my other sponsors. I also gave a few T shirts to the announcer to hand out to people between races. I like to be involved as much as I can, and do what I can to help promote our sport if people have questions or want to know something about my ski or this sport I try and do my part.

LM: How was the turn out?
MP: The turn out was bigger than last year, and will continue to grow during the following years.

LM: Who won?
MP: (not sure who won the races, there were several classes) The winners of the amateur freestyle compitition sunday was Chris anyezski, chris phillips was 2nd, and I was 3rd (due to a malfunction of my start/stop/kill switch)

LM: Anything you would like to add?
MP: I had a great time, the drive was long, but worth it. My goal is not to be number 1, but to ensure that the crowed is having fun, while showing everyone what I can do. Would like to thank you, (liquid militia), x metal, ski clinic, hydro turf, bomber eye wear, and optima racing for supporting me.

When? and Where? Sept. 29 – Oct. 7, Crazy Horse Campgrounds, Lake Havasu City, AZ

We have thought long and hard about doing this event for 2012. And we have come to the conclusion that we are not going to have a booth this year. We have been doing this event for the past 6 years. We have decided to take a break from all the hustle and bustle for 2012.

Why? because we get so wrapped up in our booth that we don’t seem to have any time to hang out with our team riders and actually watch them race. So we want to use this year to focus 100% on our team riders and provide them the maximum amount of support we can offer.

We are going to work on something totally new and exciting for 2013. We we return to the World Finals, and when we do we will have a totally different booth set up and a full new product range to show off.
