The
Monster Energy FMX High Rollers Contest is a must-see competition. The
one-of-a-kind course took over a week to construct and utilizes nearly
as much surface area and dirt as a Supercross track. Designed to
challenge riders, this course features some of the most technical
elements ever seen in an FMX track design. Highlights include a 120'
ramp, three 13' quarters, two (new) 18' quarters for the quarterpipe big
air competition, two standard FMX ramps and a super kicker.
"The Monster Energy Cup is a headline Monster event and
adding the freestyle component of motocross with an all-star line-up
will definitely elevate the overall event and fan experience this year,"
said Monster Energy Vice President of Sports Marketing, Mitch
Covington.
The Monster Energy Cup Pit Party is a big part of the
fan experience as thousands come early to take part in the festival-like
atmosphere and meet Supercross' elite, including Ryan Dungey, Ken
Roczen, Chad Reed, Marvin Musquin, Eli Tomac and more.
The Monster Energy Cup Pit Party takes place outside
the stadium from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. PT. and is free of charge with a

Contest will start at 1:30 with the Dirt Shark Biggest Whip competition,

About the Monster Energy Cup:
The
Monster Energy Cup is an annual showcase of the world's top Supercross
riders in a one-night-only battle for the coveted Monster Energy Cup
trophy and the shot at winning $1 million, the largest prize in
motorcycle racing. Unlike any other race, the Monster Energy Cup
challenges riders in their fight for victory with three 10-Lap Main
Events on a custom-designed track, inspired by five-time Monster Energy
Supercross Champion Ricky Carmichael.
The Monster
Energy Cup posts a $250,000 purse, with the winner guaranteed to walk
away with a $100,000 check, and any rider that wins all three Main
Events will take home $1 million. This feat has occurred
just once in the history of the Monster Energy Cup, when Ryan Villopoto
made history during a dominant performance in 2011.
