“2008 Oakley Arctic Challenge” On Fuel TV
November 28, 2008 – 8:02 pm PT by MikeTags: Fuel, Kevin Pearce, Oakley Arctic Challenge, Terje Haakonsen, World's Strongest Man —
There aren’t enough challenges out there to test an athlete’s ability show what he’s got. I mean you do have sports associations where each team plays each other and it leads up to a world series of some sorts. But that’s not enough. You can’t really gauge an athlete based on a team sport. That’s why I love the WORLD’s STRONGEST MAN COMPETITION. Only in a sport like that can you really access a man’s MACHISMO.
In a lower form of human specimen since its roots in 1999, The Arctic Challenge has become a historic snowboarding event with a ‘can’t miss’ attitude from all the top riders that compete on the impressive and legendary 10-meter high quarterpipe. These kinds of rare challenges force an athlete to take a feat not often encountered.
In 2007, event founder Terje Haakonsen broke the world record for the highest air ever in quarterpipe snowboard riding at 9.8 meters. Will 2008 see him break this record, or will 2007 event winner Kevin Pearce give him a run for his money. All eyes are on Holmenkollen, Norway to witness more history in the making.
Airing Monday, December 1, at 8:30pm ET and 11:30pm ET (5:30pm PT and 8:30pm PT), and re-airing several more times over the next mon th, FUEL TV will showcase the “2008 Oakley Arctic Challenge.”
