Palo Alto, CA, March 20, 2008–
XTRM Sports Network is the fastest growing online and offline action
sports network for sponsors, promoters, competitors and fans, today announced
that the company, in conjunction with Hall of Fame promoter Gavin Trippe and
the help Troy Lee of Troy Lee Designs, is the event promoter of the 2008 AMA
Supermoto Championship Series.
"After the dust settles with the recently announced AMA sale process and the
upcoming association with Daytona Motorsports Group, Supermoto will be back
stronger than ever with a platform to grow the sport exponentially” said
Trippe. “And XTRM brings excitement, resources, and a whole new dimension to
the table that will attract a new generation of fans, competitors and
sponsors”.
"XTRM is pleased to have the opportunity to effectively blend production of a
premier series, with relevant new technology and a rapidly growing community of
competitors, fans, and sponsors”, said CEO Joe Lynam. “Our unique blend of
technology based marketing applications and key relationships with leading
sponsors, combined with our grass roots event services will help drive
Supermoto and many other action sports to a new level.”
Accompanying this release is the schedule for the six round championship series
with an additional tentative round on August 1st and 2nd at the Home Depot
Center in Los Angeles. However, due to late schedule commitments there is not
enough time to properly promote and run the opening round in under three weeks
at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego.
