Thank you Seattle for the excellent turnout at the Seattle Helping Haiti benefit Concert at the Moore Theatre, January 28th, 2010. We recently received a thanks from Seattle Helping Haiti organizers Jordan Denmark and Cody Rossen for our donated contributions to market this event and ensure its success:

“On behalf of both of us, we would like to thank you again for your help with this event. Your generosity is going to seriously impact a lot of people’s lives in Haiti. Through ticket sales, the auction, bar, donations and merchandise sales, we were able to cut a check to the American Red Cross for $27,669.51.

Now that we have had time to catch up on sleep and let this sink in a bit, we have been completely taken aback by the generosity and willingness of the Seattle community with our efforts to help Haiti. Without the help of everyone involved, this would have never been able to happen.”

Cool.

posterGIANT representing the Snowboarding scene: RIDE Shakedown comes to Snoqualmie. $35,000 in cash prizes to keep these dudes riding and promote the scene.

What makes the RIDE Shakedown such a hit and a cut above the rest is its unparalleled competition format.

The concept: a laidback, live-it-up event with minimal restrictions on the riders. Spectators are taken to the very heart of the action and treated to a thrill-a-minute show that’s eminently accessible.

At the RIDE Shakedown, riders, both male and female, are required to master two different disciplines: the Big Air and the rail jam featuring a rail with various surface textures to be revealed only on the first day of competition.

Competitors and fans alike look forward to the moment. While pros are the main attraction, amateurs are also in the game, as they valiantly battle it out in an attempt to make a name for themselves. Every winter, new talent is discovered!

PosterGIANT is stoked to represent the Roller Derby Scene.

Rat City Rollergirls playing next on March 6th at Seattle Key Arena. Check it out!

The Rat City Rollergirls (RCRG) is Seattle’s premiere all-female, flat-track roller derby league. RCRG is still composed of about 80 active skaters and many more retired skaters who are still involved. The skaters are divided among four home teams: Derby Liberation Front, Grave Danger, Sockit Wenches, and Throttle Rockets. In addition, a small number of skilled, dedicated skaters are chosen to represent the league on its fifth team, the Rat City Rollergirls All Stars.
