2014 Brimstone White
Knuckle Event
::Continued::
Throughout the day, several kids’ events
were held, and also the highly anticipated Ladies’
Dash For Cash by Monster Performance; a heated
footrace through the Mud Bog not only for cash
but bragging rights as well.

The Ladies'
Dash for Cash was one of the most anticipated
events as always

After all of the festivities on Saturday, it
was time for the concert to get started again,
and things heated up pretty quickly, despite the
free Red Bull being handed out throughout the
day. Opener Sam Hunt put on an incredible show,
singing both original material as well as performing
some well received covers. After an hour of singing
along, it was time for Yamaha to come on stage
and pick the lucky winner of a brand new 2014
Viking! Finalists in the drawings were called
up on stage to draw again, and Callista Stockhoff
of Ohio walked away with the brand new Yamaha
Viking.

his hit song "Ready Set Roll"
Chase Rice brought the crowd to their
feet

Chase Rice headlined the night, and put on an
amazing show. A sea of people was pushed up to
the front as far as they could go, singing every
word with him. Campfire smoke and beach balls
filled the air as the sun set on this seemingly
magical evening, with the concert going well into
the night.

Sunday came, and it was time to pack up and head
home. The last event of the weekend was a four-hour
race called the Moonshine Run, and was a great
closer to an unforgettable weekend. One thing
that really stood out during the entire event
was the feeling of camaraderie and friendliness
from not just the staff and vendors, but from
those attending as well.
“We travel 9 hours to be here from southern
Alabama. The riding, food, and concerts are great,
but there’s also that feeling that everybody
is welcome, because they truly are, and that’s
important to us” says Sherry from Mobile,
AL.
This seemed synonymous in my experience at the
White Knuckle Event at Brimstone, which is held
annually over Memorial Day weekend to kick off
summer.
At the end of summer, the Brimstone ATV &
SxS Round-Up will be held over Labor Day weekend,
which is another great event that also features
the King of the Mountain race with thousands of
dollars in prize money up for grabs along with
some great trails, great food, and a great community
of people.
