Red Bull Fuel + Fury, The Final Chapter:

“Big Air” Soars to Big Win as Video Segment Judged Best Overall by the public

ANCHORAGE, AK (April 16, 2006) – Shortly after the stroke of midnight, the final public votes from across the country were tallied at the historic 4th Avenue Theater, and Chris Burandt (Kremmling, Colo.) and his videographer, Rich Van Every (Carlsbad, Calif.), hoisted their moose antler first-place trophy above their heads, bringing the curtain down on the Red Bull Fuel + Fury backcountry freestyle snowmobile video competition. The duo won the “Best Overall Segment” prize, along with $7,000, with their entry “My Hot Pocket Sponsor Me Video.”

“I’m feeling really good,” said Burandt, who also won the 2005 Red Bull Fuel + Fury in Milwaukee. “It was about teamwork. Rich and I put a lot of effort into our video. We were the first ones into the editing rooms and the last to leave, and it showed.”

2005, the Fuel and Fury crew and team returned to Milwaukee, Wisconsin for another epic competition that promised to be better then the year before. The course was a step up from the previous year and with the SCS design prowess it proved to be one that the riders utilized to their advantage. It featured six steel ramps, two natural dirt jumps, a new addition wall ride, another 40′ rainbow rail and an old Pabst beer truck used as an obstacle for the riders. The capacity crowd was astonished at the course design and how the riders were hitting every possible feature of the course. All in all, the night shaped up to be a historic event. The capacity crowd was on fire cheering for the riders and it helped. Justin Hoyer added his first backflip in competition, but in the end it was Chris “Big Air” Burandt that prevailed over Hoyer 2nd and Heath Frisby 3rd. Again, this event would not have been made possible without the continued support of Red Bull, Slednecks, SCS and of course all the riders that put on an excellent show.
