With back to back Rev
Tour stops the opportunity for our athletes to shine was high! And that is
exactly what they did! With a 3rd place finish from Lucas Foster and 5 of our
athletes in Skiing the Monster Army was in full force at Copper Mountain this past
week for the Rev Tour. The U.S. Revolution Tour has proved to be a progressive
venue for today’s top junior riders to take the competitive stage. The Tour is
designed to serve as a stepping-stone for athletes making the transition from
competing at the grassroots level to the elite level, and trust us when when
say that is no small feat. The U.S. Revolution Tour at Copper Mountain Halfpipe
competition will be FIS NorAm sanctioned, and brought out an amazing field of
athletes
For Snowboarding we had 2
Monster Army veterans Lucas Foster, and Jason Wolle, and two new 13-year-old to
the program, Hayden Tyler and Brooklyn DePriest. All 4 of our athletes rode
very strong, Lucas and Jason made it to finals in both Tuesday and Wednesdays
events while Brooklyn landing his first ever back to back 900’s and Hayden
showing he might be young but fits right in with the elite field of athletes.
In the end Lucas Foster was the sole army rider to stand on the podium, but
there is no doubt our team showed the we have what it takes!
On the ski side making
her way into finals and putting down top to bottom runs all through-out the
week was Hanna Faulhaber. For men we had 3 sergeants putting it all on the line
and showing their stuff. Axl Bonenberger, Kai Morris, and Cael Mccarthy all came with the skills and tricks to stand on the podium but were
unable to stomp their best runs. This is just the begging of the season and all
our riders continually push them selves to ride at the top. Stay tuned for many
more events and features about our snow athletes!
