Challenges have been issued, smack has been talked, and (most likely) wagers have been placed, and we’re just one day away from watching the controlled chaos ensue.
In other words, the fourth round of the Monster Energy P1 AquaX National Championship takes place this weekend, returning to Clearwater beach on August 22-24.
The season so far has seen some top-level racing from the ‘usual list of suspects’ along with some unexpected power performances from lesser known names, and this coming weekend promises to be packed with hard-fought motos and close battles, along with some added excitement as five Monster Energy athletes pulled from the ranks of other extreme sports join the fray and compete, many for their first PWC race.
Cycle Springs Powersports will be the presenting sponsor for this weekend’s races, and will be hosting a meet-and-greet with Round 3’s P1 AquaX Monster Energy Athlete Challenge racers Professional Bass Angler Tyler Stewart, BMX rider Jeremy Malott, BMX rider and Nitro Circus member Andy Buckworth and 5x XGames medalist BMX freestyler Jaie Toohey. The meet-and-greet takes place from 4-5:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 22 at Cycle Springs Powersports, 29703 US Hwy. 19 N in Clearwater.
The final race of the season will take place in St. Petersburg, FL on September 5-7.
