The Opening Ceremony welcomed athletes and fans; while officially kicking-off Extremity Games 4 on Wednesday, July 8 at the Holiday Inn Gateway Center in Flint, Michigan.  The following day the skate boarders threw down some wicked tricks at host venue South Street Skate Park, in Rochester.  Oscar Loreto caught air off every feature and landed a huge drop off the staircase to take first place.  Evan Strong stalled and grinded the quarter pipe, then rode out the longest heelie of the event to take second place.  Garry Moore snagged third place by kidnapping the clouds as he aired over the transition of the side by side quarter pipes.

 

The skateboarding momentum carried over to Thursday afternoon for an epic Rock Climbing competition at Planet Rock, in Pontiac.  Craig DeMartino and McKayla Hanson scaled the walls with speed that could cause altitude sickness to take first place in men’s and women’s Tope Rope.  Ronnie Dickson and Cara Fortunato grabbed the men’s and women’s Top Rope second place finishes with the grace of a seasoned climbers.  Tyler Adams and newcomer Jacquelyn Farris snuck up their final routes to hold on to third place finishes in the men’s and women’s Top Rope competition.  eX4 athletes dropped the harnesses for an intense Bouldering competition, also at Planet Rock in Pontiac.  Craig DeMartino flew up each boulder problem like a caped superhero assuring a first place finish.  Ronnie Dickson locked up second place with his trademark lunging grabs.  While Evan Strong kept it short and low to round out the Bouldering competition with a third place finish.

 

On Friday, July 10, blue bird skies and a glassy smooth lake were the order of the day for the wakeboard and kayak competitions held at Holloway Reservoir, in Davison.  New to Extremity Games this year, Jim Bob Bizzell owned first place with insane air above the wake.  Connor Howe ponied up some gnarly one handed tricks to pull out a second place finish.  Returning athlete Chet Kuskowski hammered the wake to wake maneuvers taking third in the Wakeboarding competition.  Sunny skies and gentle breezes hung throughout the afternoon while the crowds geared up for the Kayaking competition.  Joel Berman and Kelly Allen leveled the competition as they battled the course and paddled into first place finishes for the men’s and women’s divisions respectively.  George Rickman and Cara Fortunato propelled themselves like human-powered machines through the water and collared second place.  Third place was a hard fought contest that netted awards for Chris Casteel and Brooke Artesi.

 

Despite early morning thunderstorms on Saturday, July 11, mountain bike and motocross racers were eager to get things started on Baja MX’s 85 acre facility in Millington, Michigan.  Fans lined the fences as racer George Hammel charged all the way to the checkers for the win, closely followed by TJ Hiracheta in second and Sampie Erasmus of South Africa in third in the Motocross Lites competition.  In the Motocross Premier class, Chris Ridgeway made it look easy as he raced his way into the lead, taking the win and the top step on the podium.  Mike Schultz finished with a hard fought second, while Jason Woods rounded out the podium for third. Local Michigan favorite, Jim Wazny followed up in fourth after a crash in the heat race with bike troubles.

 

Once the dust settled and the racers had a chance to clean up, an awards ceremony followed, along with a special announcement from Motocross Coordinator Jim Wazny.  “The Athletes with Disabilities Network, the organizers of Extremity Games, are excited to partner with Adaptive Action Sports, the official sports organizer for the Super X Adaptive Finals motocross competition at the ESPN X Games.  This year, Extremity Games served as the pre-qualifier for the Super X Adaptive Finals motocross competition with the top six riders at Extremity Games being officially invited to compete in the X Games race.
