Sun Valley was buzzing last night with snow in the forecast and Matchstick
Productions new film Claim showing at the Sun Valley Opera House. SCOTT
athlete Hugo Harrisson was in town to sign some autographs and managed to
sneak in an afternoon mountain bike ride on the epic Ketchum trail system.
After slaying the local dirt, it was down to business for Hugo and Mark
Abma. Both signed countless autographs for fired up Ketchum locals. Two
showings later, the people of Ketchum are now pumped to go skiing. SCOTT
Athletes Hugo Harrisson, Ingrid Backstrom, and Simon Dumont put on great
segments in an action packed movie that offers a little bit of everything.

Sun Valley, ID - SCOTT Motorsports is proud to announce that Tim Ferry signed a two-year contract to use SCOTT Genius boots and SCOTT goggles.
Tallon Vohland, SCOTT pro racing manager, expressed his enthusiasm with the signing, “Tim is the perfect athlete to partner with as he is extremely selective about the products he uses. Tim selects products which give him a competitive advantage and minimize the risk of injury. It was only natural that Tim’s positive experiences over the years with SCOTT goggles would lead him to want to use other SCOTT products.” Adam Greene, Genius boot product manager, is also excited to have Ferry on the team. “The Genius boot is so cutting-edge and such a departure from standard leather boots that people have a hard time believing it works. They are doubtful that the Genius Boot can offer the protection it does and still offer performance. Tim will show, beyond a doubt, the Genius boot offers performance.”
Ferry will wear the Scott Genius boot in competition for the first time when he starts his campaign for the Monster Energy AMA SX Series Championship in Anaheim on January 3, 2009.
Ryan Villopoto of the United States squad displayed the same form as last year, when he smoked the field at Budds Creek, and crushed the competition in his MX2/MX3 race. Sebastian Pourcel of France let the American squad know that he was not going to back down and lead the way to the checkers in MX1/MX3 race. Those two wins coupled with high place finishes for Nicholas Aubin and Tim Ferry secured the top two podium spots for the United States and France.

Five of the six athletes on those teams are sponsored by SCOTT. SCOTT is proud to sponsor such accomplished athletes and would like to congratulate them on their competitive efforts and successes at the Motocross de Nations

To say Chris Burandt had a busy winter this past year is an understatement. After spending three long weeks in Sweden, playing action-film star Vin Diesel’s double in a snowmobile segment for the feature film Babylon A.D.,Chris returned to the states and spent the rest of the winter splitting time between filming with the Slednecks production crew and running his newly launched Chris Burandt Backcountry Adventures.

The film work he did last winter is paying dividends now, as he is in two Slednecks movies. Burandt will once again be a featured rider in the latest iteration of the Slednecks series, Slednecks 11. And because so much of Burandt’s insane technical riding footage ended up on the cutting room floor when putting together Slednecks 11, the production team decided to create a new series called Chris Burandt’s Backcountry Adventures.

Ahhh Welcome to Jackson
In addition to the movie, TGR puts on some other cool events including a semi-competitive and unbelievably fun golf tournament to kick off the weekend on Friday afternoon. Scott athletes Erik Roner, Chris Collins, and Dash Longe all showed up to the Teton Pines Golf Course ready to get their names engraved on the TGR trophy. After the nine-hole scramble the title went to the team of Todd Jones, Jeremy Nobis, Seth Morrison and Todd Ligare. It marked an emotional victory for Todd who has been trying to get his name on the trophy since helping found TGR in 1996. Not to take anything away from Todd and the rest of the team but rumor has it Nobis was on fire and should think about getting his PGA card after a crushing display of golf.

Tiger Who says Roner
Saturday Night brought the Big Premiere and after party at the Mangy Moose. Tickets were hard to come by and both the 5:30pm and 8pm shows were sold out. After some unbelievably busy autograph signings and tons of giveaways, the lights dropped and the crowd went wild. Jeremy Jones segment starts off with some amazing night shots that transition into some jaw dropping AK footage and high speed runs in Turkey. Dash Longe gets it done in the backcountry on some big booters with smooth style, while Roner slays big mountain lines in Alaska and gets his huck on all over the continent. Make sure to head over to www.tetongravity.com to order your copy today, and check out SCOTT athletes Jeremy Jones, Erik Roner, Dash Longe and Chris Collins in Under the Influence.

Even a Rain Soaked Collins made it with Roner

Henrik is still down in New Zealand training at the moment so his good friend Mr. Tanner Hall was not only the presenter but also accepted the award on Henrik's behalf. Congrats go out to Henrik from all of us here at SCOTT.
Rob Hoff showcases an amazing array of technical and big mountain skills in the newest release from Extreme Team Films, Danger Zone 3. Hoff, a Jackson Hole transplant, has been riding snowmobiles since his childhood in Wisconsin. At the age of ten, Hoff’s parents bought him his first snowmobile.
Just last year, friend and riding buddy Dan Adams talked Hoff into riding for the camera. Rob Hoff is an extremely adept technical rider who excels at riding in heavily wooded, off-camber terrain. Almost all of Hoff’s Danger Zone segment was filmed in the rugged expanses of the Salt River, Wyoming and Snake River mountain ranges.
