Takes Overall UCI BMX SX Title
Cali BMXer leads Team USA atop podium versus world’s best racers
CARLSBAD, Calif., (Oct. 10, 2006) – Monster Energy’s Donny Robinson is the new UCI World Cup BMX Supercross World Champion, winning the overall title this past weekend in Frejus, France.
“This was one of my goals this year, so to win the title feels excellent,” said Robinson, who finished second at the only other UCI World Cup BMX Supercross race held in conjunction with the San Jose
Dew Tour round in September.
Qualifying in 4th place on Friday, Robinson (Napa, Calif.) entered the UCI World Cup BMX Supercross finals in France as one of the favorites. Rocketing through his prelim motos, Robinson would put
together his best run of the day in the main event – finishing ahead of Dew Tour BMX SX winner Michal Prokop. So with Prokop going 1-2 and Robinson 2-1 in the two round UCI World Cup BMX Supercross series points chase, Robinson would capture the overall title by virtue of his better finish at the second round.
“And the cool thing is all of these supercross races carry a Category 2 ranking for Olympic points,” added Robinson, referring of course to the 2008 games in Beijing, China, which includes BMX racing.
Next up for Robinson is the ABA National round in Delaware this weekend. For more information on the ABA East Coast Nationals, check out www.ababmx.com .

Offering 20 all expenses paid round-trips for two to Hawaii to be a V.I.P. at their world class surfing event, the Monster Hawaii Sweepstake promotion launched October 1, 2006, in 35,000 convenience stores coast-to-coast across America. Consumers must register to win online at www.monsterenergy.com . The Sweepstake will close at 12 a.m., January 2, 2007, with winners to be announced on January 4th, 2007.
As a V.I.P. guest at the Monster Energy Pipeline Pro surfing tournament, winners from across the nation will be treated to a complete cultural experience, starting with a traditional Hawaiian opening ceremony at Pipeline`s Ehukai Beach Park on January 26, 2007, to be followed by a kick-off party that evening. Saturday, January 27th, is the opening day of competition and guests will be front row V.I.P.s to some of the largest and greatest surf on earth. In-between swells, they will be able to experience their choice of all that the island of O`ahu has to offer.
Each Sweepstake winner will receive round-trip airfares for two, five nights accommodation at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki, a rental car, a $1,500 Visa check card, a Monster Billabong prize-pack, and red-carpet treatment.
"Over the past three years, the Banzai Pipeline and the people of O`ahu have given Monster nothing short of a 5-star experience," said Joe Parsons, Sr. Sports Marketing Manager for Monster Energy Drink. "Coming from the Mainland, the North Shore`s big waves have treated us to some of the greatest moments in professional surfing. It still energizes us after three years and it`s an experience we decided we wanted to share with our supporters."
Indeed, Monster`s ride at the Banzai Pipeline has been phenomenal. Over the past three years they have enjoyed incredible, barreling waves in the range of 10- to 25-feet, giving rise to some of the most memorable moments in competitive surfing.
The Monster Energy Pipeline Pro, presented by Billabong, will run from January 27, 2007, through February 9, 2007, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the four biggest and best days of waves on offer.
