Stone Crusher Visits New Orleans and Tampa |
February 8, 2010-Following a tough weekend in Columbia Steve Sims and the Stone Crusher team headed to the legendary Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. The night started off well as Sims qualified fifth for the racing competition. Sims was able to pick up a first round win against Ground Pounder before falling to Nitro Circus in the second round. After the second round race it became apparent to the team that the truck suffered damage and would not be able to continue for the night. |

From New Orleans the team headed to Tampa, Florida this past weekend for another big stadium event. Sims came out on fire early in qualifying picking up the number one spot to start off the night. In round one the Stone Crusher took out Pouncer before moving on to take out Predator in round two. Sims would face off with Blue Thunder in a wild semi-final race. Both drivers pushed it to the limits but Weenk came away with the win flipping after the finish line. In freestyle Sims overcame adversity early as the rear steering broke on the second jump of the run. That wouldn't stop the Stone Crusher as Sims kept pushing getting some great air over the van and bus stacks before rolling the truck over after hitting the backside of an FMX landing ramp. This weekend the Stone Crusher team is headed back home to Virginia for a three show weekend in the state capital at the Richmond Coliseum.

Stone Crusher in Columbia |
 |
January 25, 2010-After great a great showing in Greensboro the team made the trek to the Colonial Life Arena in Columbia, South Carolina for a three show weekend in the state capital. The weekend started off well for Steve Sims with a strong performance on Friday night as Sims finished second in the donut contest and tied for the freestyle win with Cam McQueen and Nitro Circus. Saturday afternoon however things didn't pan out as well for Sims. After scoring a 25 in the wheelie competition it became apparent that damage would sideline the Stone Crusher for the weekend. This wouldn't stop Sims however as he took over the reigns of his team truck Mopar Magic for the Saturday night event. Sims adapted well to the truck and was able to finish third in the wheelie competition and second in freestyle. Next weekend the team will make the trip down to New Orleans for their first visit to the legenday Superdome. |

After an early exit in racing Sims came out charging in freestyle with a great fast paced run. On Saturday Sims was once again the brides maid in the wheelie competition as he finished two points behind Charlie Pauken and Grave Digger. In freestyle Sims put the Stone Crusher in flight for another great freestyle with highlights including huge leaps over the van stacks, a great vertical sky wheelie, and finished the run well after the time expired. The brake rotors were glowing and the Carolina fans were on their feet. Head over to our photos page for photos from this weekend's event.
