"With some of the sport's premier athletes riding out of Monster Energy's stable, guys like X Games champions Nate Adams and Kyle Loza, it was a natural for us to get on board with the 2008 Boost Mobile FreestyleMX.com Tour, presented by Monster Energy," said John Lee, Director of Sports Marketing for Monster Energy. "This is, by far, the largest FMX tour of its kind in the world and will work in concert with Monster Energy's own ambitious brand marketing efforts."

Appearing as a stand alone event in some cities, as well as an enhancement to numerous NASCAR and NHRA events, the Boost Mobile FreestyleMX.com Tour, presented by Monster Energy, will headline state fairs, car shows, rural raceways, casinos, rodeos, hotel and resort events -- even the upcoming 2009 Fiesta Bowl Block Party on New Year's Eve.
In addition to the high-flying dirt bikes, kids hot-wired on Monster Energy can bang out some video games, pick up all kinds of Monster Energy swag and score some autographs from their favorite riders like Nate Adams and Kyle Loza at the Boost Mobile FreestyleMX.com Tour, presented by Monster Energy.
