2008 USA Roxy Chicken Jam: Mascot Superpipe Competition Results
The First-Ever Mascot Superpipe Competition Held at the Roxy Chicken Jam presented by Schick® Quattro for Women®
Mammoth Lakes, Calif. - Why did the Chicken boost out of the Superpipe? - To dominate all other mascots in the Roxy Chicken Jam Mascot Superpipe Competition presented by ROCKSTAR Energy Drink. The feathered flying snowboarding mascot for the Roxy Chicken Jam, taking place March 28 - 30 at Mammoth Mountain, issued a challenge to all other furry, feathered and flying mascots to test their snowboarding skills against the Olympic-class Roxy snowboarding chicken.
The inaugural Mascot Competition is one of the many highlights at this year's Fourth Annual Roxy Chicken Jam presented by Schick® Quattro for Women®. The special event featured ferocious competition as mascots of all shapes, sizes and species took to the Mammoth Superpipe.
Mammoth Mountain's own "Woolly Mammoth" claimed the crown as he trampled the competition on his way to a $4,000 payday courtesy of ROCKSTAR. To prepare for the contest Wooly admitted, "I ate my Wheaties, did five or six push-ups, some squat thrusts, drank some ROCKSTAR and I was good to go." His advice for aspiring mascot champs is, "Grow lots of fur, get a couple tusks, a trunk and some big ears. I just hope I get to keep the $4,000."
Best costume was awarded to the Zumiez "Couch" who took a leisurely, yet extremely awkward, stroll down the Superpipe as he captured the hearts of the crowd. "It was fun," said the Couch, "I didn't expect to win $1,000 for doing this." When asked if he had any plans for his new-found fortune, besides maybe a reupholstering, he said "I have no idea," still experiencing some shock from his triumph over his fellow competitors.
The Mascot Competition also featured local talent with Greg Bretz, a junior from Mammoth High School, taking to the pipe as the school's mascot, the husky. "It was fun and definitely interesting," said Bretz about the competition, "There is a first time for everything." When asked about how it was to ride in the costume Bretz said, "Riding in a husky suit was pretty difficult, next year I'll have to find something without a huge head."
FUEL TV will air the Roxy Chicken Jam on Tuesday, May 13 at 8:00pm ET/PT during its Snow Pack snowboard programming block.
