While Steve Sims and Darren Migues were on opposite ends of the country, the veteran drivers both had great weekends behind the wheel of their Stone Crusher’s. Sims brough his Stone Crusher to Memphis, Tennessee’s for two shows at the Fed Ex Forum. The action kicked off on Friday night where Sims picked up a racing win in the finals over teammate Morgan Kane and Mopar Magic. Other results from the night saw Sims tie for second in the wheelie competition and an out right second place finish in freestyle. Saturday night saw similar results as Sims once again picked up a racing win over Mopar Magic. Once again Sims came up just short of the freestyle victory taking second place.

Meanwhile, in Spokane, Darren Migues was at the Spokane Arena for a grueling four show weekend. Migues started off the weekend on a high note with a spectacular wheelie contest win on Friday night. Saturday afternoon saw Migues take a tough route on his way to the final round. After a first round loss, Migues returned as a fast loser to face Tony Farrell and Grave Digger The Legend. Migues took advantage of the reprieve, taking out Grave Digger The Legend for a rematch with Iron Outlaw in the finals. This time it was Migues with the upper hand picking up the final round win. The two saw each other once again in the first round during the Saturday night event. The Stone Crusher fell to Iron Outlaw but once again would return as the fast loser. Migues took advantage once again, picking up a win over Captain USA, before taking out Grave Digger The Legend in the finals. Sunday saw a similar story play out again. Migues lost in the first round to Iron Outlaw and once again was able to come back as the fastest loser. Yet again, Migues was able to capitalize and take out Grave Digger The Legend in the semi finals. In the finals Migues piloted the Stone Crusher to its third racing win of the weekend as he took out Charles Benns and the Monster Mutt Rottweiler.

This coming weekend will be busy for all members of the Stone Crusher team with major stadium events on both coasts. Steve Sims will be in Jacksonville at EverBank Field, while Darren Migues will be at the Oakland Coliseum in California.

The Stone Crusher team returned to Sun Life Stadium in Miami, Florida for another major stadium event. Two years ago driver Steve Sims had a breakout performance in Miami as he picked up a racing win along with a second place freestyle. Sims looked at home on the sandy racing surface and quickly proved to be a threat once again to win in Miami. In the first round Sims knocked out Predator to face off with Grinder in round two. The Grinder was no match for Stone Crusher as Sims advanced to the semi finals. Sims was able to take out Michigan Ice Monster in the semi finals to move on to square off with Mohawk Warrior in the final round. Sims got the lead early and held on until the final corner as the truck slid wide, causing one tire to just miss fully hitting the final ramp, giving Sims a five second penalty and handing the win to Mohawk Warrior.

After a disappointing final round result Sims sought redemption in freestyle. Sims didn’t waste any time getting to work as he came straight out of his pit spot and jumped the first obstacle in his path. The run saw the Stone Crusher sail over all the freestyle stacks and some great crossthreads as well. Just seconds into bonus time Sims took an awkward bounce that pitched the truck over and onto it’s lid. Despite his run getting cut short, Sims managed to score a 22 which was good enough for a fourth place finish.

From Miami, it’s on to Memphis, Tennessee for the Stone Crusher team as they get ready for a two show weekend at the Fed Ex Forum. For more info on all of our events check out our schedule.

After back to back weeks in the Sunshine State of Florida, the Stone Crusher team headed west to Houston, Texas for a major stadium event inside Reliant Stadium. Driver Steve Sims has been strong all year behind the wheel of his all new Stone Crusher, and Houston would be no different. In racing Sims was taken out early in round one by Blue Thunder, but came out determined in freestyle. Sims brought the packed house to their feet with a fantastic run from start to finish with high flying leaps and some of the best crossthreads of the night. Two flat front tires would cut short Sims’ efforts but the run was good enough to score a 22 in regulation along with two bonus points for a total of 24. The score would put Sims in a three way tie with Dennis Anderson and Grave Digger, and Neil Elliott and Maximum Destruction, for second place.

The next stop for Steve Sims and the Stone Crusher team is at Sun LIfe Stadium in Miami, Florida, as they look to continue their great success in the 2011 season.

Following a great showing in Uniondale, Darren Migues took the Stone Crusher to the Izod Center for a three show Freestyle Mania weekend in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Migues had a great weekend in Stone Crusher picking up several wins along the way. The weekend’s wheelie competitions were swept by Migues, winning all three. On Friday Migues also picked up a win in the Maniac Challenge. After damage sidelined the truck during the Saturday afternoon freestyle, Migues found redemption as he scored the freestyle victory on Saturday night. Migues’ next stop on the schedule is in Denver, Colorado.

After a two show weekend in the Tarheel State, Steve Sims and the Stone Crusher team headed south to Tampa, Florida and Raymond James Stadium for the second major stadium event of the season. The notorious Floridian fans came out in droves to witness all the stars as they took to the course Saturday. The action got under way with racing to start off the event. In round one Sims squared off with Monster Mutt Dalmation and received an easy victory after the Dalmation was sidelined before the first turn with mechanical problems. The Stone Crusher would then fall to Grave Digger in round two to end it’s night in racing.

In freestyle Sims wasted no time getting the ball rolling as he soared the Stone Crusher over the massive FMX hill to begin his run. From there Sims worked the all new Stone Crusher as he attacked the floor with big air launches and crossthread manuevers over every obstacle on the course. Sims performed well beyond both the regulation and bonus time periods to the delight of the Sunshine State fans as he scored 20 points in regulation and 4 in bonus time for a total of 24. The score would be good enough for a third place finish in freestyle and a strong end to a great night in Tampa.

After Tampa, it’s off to Orlando, Florida and the Citrus Bowl for the second straight weekend of major stadium events. For more information on this event and others visit our schedule page.

Texas has treated Darren Migues and Stone Crusher well so far in 2011. Following a great two day event in San Antonio at the Alamo Dome, Migues made the trip to Houston for an all freestyle event inside the home of the Houston Texans, Reliant Stadium. Before the event Saturday, Migues took the Stone Crusher to the David Smith’s Flame Motorsports shop, home of King Krunch and El Matador, to get the truck back to 100% after the truck suffered some damage in San Antonio. By Saturday both Migues and Stone Crusher were ready for action and action they created.

The night’s events started off with a wheelie competition on the elaborate course laid out by the track crew. Each competitor was given four attempts to get the best wheelstands they could. Migues came out firing on the first hit, getting a great rebound on the landing, as he danced the Stone Crusher up onto the right rear tire, dragging the tailgate before clipping a small ramp on the track. The truck was tossed hard to the right but Migues was able to save the truck in spectacular fashion. Migues returned to the same stack for his second attempt and once again got a great slap wheelie dragging the bumper before running out of room. For his third attempt Migues lined up to a steep stack and nosed the truck vertically up the ramp before bringing the front end back to the ground, and then into another slap wheelie. On his final attempt Migues returned to the stack used in the first two attempts, and jumped it from the backside. Once again Migues got a great rebound and pulled the truck up into another great slap wheelie. The run would score a 25 and would be good enough for the win to start off the night.

After a winning performance in the wheelie competition it was on to freestyle where Migues had a chance to pilot the Stone Crusher to a double down. It would be a freestyle to remember as Migues left the pits and went straight to work. The run was spectacular from start to finish, full of big air, slap wheelies, donuts, and perhaps an early candidate for save of the year, after pirouetting the truck around on the left front tire and back on to all four’s. “Don’t ask me how I pulled that one out,” Migues said afterwards. “After getting the wheelie win against that level of competition, I was just feeling it. I wanted to step it up and go for it.” Migues did just that as he scored a 28 and the win for the double down in the Lone Star state.

The next stop for Migues is Uniondale, New York for a four show Freestyle Mania weekend at the Nassau Coliseum. For more dates, be sure to visit check out our schedule.
