RENO,
Nev. and SANTA CRUZ,
Calif., Aug. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Future
Motion Inc., the maker of Onewheel, the iconic, self-balancing
single-wheel electric board, is pleased to announce its 2024 Race
for the Rail competition. This year's event will unite 26 of the
world's top Onewheel riders who will race down the challenging
slopes of Reno's Sky Tavern Ski
Area, vying for the prestigious Race for the Rail trophy and a
$10,000 grand prize.
Tune into the live Race For The Rail drone stream on Saturday at
10:30 a.m. PST or watch the
broadcast-quality race premiere on the Onewheel YouTube channel at
12:00 p.m. PST for the condensed
action.
The Race for the Rail is Onewheel's biggest racing event of the
year and caps off its nationwide Onewheel Racing League (ORL) event
series. The boardercross-style race will feature thirteen
riders in each of the Men's and Women's Divisions who will compete
in heats of four across a challenging mile-long trail.
"It is incredibly inspiring for us to see our passionate
community of Onewheel riders growing every year," said Kyle Doerksen, CEO of Future Motion and inventor
of Onewheel. "This year is especially meaningful because it marks
the company's ten-year anniversary since we launched our first
Onewheel. The progression over the years has been amazing, and with
the release of the new GT S-Series board, this race will be the
most incredible yet."
The Onewheel Racing League hosts qualifying events nationwide
throughout the year to narrow the field to the best 13 men and 13
women. Last year's championship race was recently re-aired on ESPN
2 (ESPN 8 The Ocho) on August 2nd,
reflecting the growing national interest in the sport.
Onewheel's unique design, featuring a large single tire and
self-balancing technology, makes it an incredibly versatile
electric board for all-terrain riding. Riders use the same
intuitive movements to carve as they do in traditional board
sports.
"This year is on track to be our most exciting, action-packed
event yet," said Jack Mudd,
Marketing Director at Onewheel. "The board has never been better,
and every year we see firsthand the growing level of commitment and
skill of riders. The sport is gaining more mainstream momentum
every year."
