They call it the "Civil War!"
For the 110th time the Oregon State Beavers took on the Oregon Ducks. As Reser Stadium filled to its 55,000 fan capacity RedBull/SCS Sledstyle was there to put on a show. With the help of CAT, Peterson Machinery Co. and Parts Unlimited and 12 semi-truck loads of snow, Heath Frisby, Kourtney Hungerford and Ryan Britt came out for the first event of the season looking like seasoned veterans.
Shortly after the three riders amazed fans for a pre-game demo, Frisby led the Beavers onto the field, escaping injury after a close call with the pyrotechnics display. The Beavers had the lead after the first half and SCS fired up the sleds for the second show. Under a downpour of rain Frisby, Kourt, and Britt didn't miss a beat. Fans were packed in on the ground level and above on the fourth level balconies trying to get a piece of the action. The fans were amazing!
As the two teams took the field for the second half, SCS tuned up the course with the CAT equipment provided by our friends at Peterson Machinery Co. for the post-game show. Battling back the Ducks scored with three minutes left in the game, taking the lead 28-27 after a gutsy 2-point conversion. The Beavers answered right back with a field goal securing the game 30-28. Fired up fans marched out of the stadium to the Red Bull/SCS Sledstyle venue to watch the riders jump in the rain for a third time! On a course that was melting away the three riders fed off the crowds´ intensity giving the fans the best show of the day!
SCS would like to thank all of the people involved that help make this vision a reality. OSU being so open to creative ideas along with Red Bull, CAT, Peterson Machinery Co. and Parts Unlimited for believing in a group of riders that just want to make history one event at a time!!!! It´s winter and it´s time to keep raising the bar! Stay tuned.
