Then it cheered. Record Breakers at Revel Surf Park brought motocross, BMX, trophy trucks, surfing, skating, and a sunset rock show into a single sold-out spectacle in Mesa, Arizona \u2014 and Weedmaps was right in the middle of it as the presenting partner of the World Record Attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Records That Fell (and the Firsts That Were Made)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Record Breakers didn&#8217;t promise a show \u2014 they promised history. Athletes delivered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Colby Raha \u2014 Highest quarter pipe air on a motorcycle. <\/strong>The headliner, launched his bike across the Revel Surf Park lagoon, hit a custom 28-foot quarter pipe at full throttle, and reached approximately 90 feet of vertical air \u2014 eclipsing the previous benchmark set on a BMX bike in 2022. New world record for motorcycle vertical.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Andrew Topa \u2014 World&#8217;s highest BMX flair. <\/strong>Off an 18-foot quarter pipe, Topa pushed the BMX flair into territory it had never reached, joining the night&#8217;s history-making roster.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Blake Wilkey &amp; Paul Fisher \u2014 Trophy truck distance showdown. <\/strong>After a pre-event injury sidelined Trophy Truck champion Alan Ampudia, Wilkey and Fisher stepped up for a head-to-head trophy truck distance attempt \u2014 turning the long-jump portion of the night into a legitimate two-truck duel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The lead-up wasn&#8217;t filler, either. Greyson Fletcher dropped a skate stunt to kick off the action block, the 110 Pitbike Demo lit up the crowd, and Patrick Evans and Tom Parsons traded heat on the moto quarter pipe before the record attempts took center stage. Guest appearances from Bruce Irons, Nathan Fletcher, Stevie Williams, and Jacob &#8220;Zeke&#8221; Szekely rounded out a roster pulled from motocross, BMX, surfing, and skate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why It Matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cannabis and action sports share a worldview. Both have spent years fighting for legitimacy. Both reward people who push the boundary instead of waiting for permission. And both, at their best, are about community \u2014 finding your people, doing the thing, and making the impossible feel inevitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s the through-line Weedmaps showed up with at Revel: backing the athletes, backing the culture, and backing the audience that lives at the intersection of the two. Record Breakers also marked Weedmaps&#8217; deliberate return to its action-sports roots \u2014 a re-anchoring with a community that has shaped the brand since day one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stay Locked In<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As presenting partner, Weedmaps put its name on the marquee \u2014 and then made sure it earned the spot. The brand showed up the way it always promises to: rooted in culture, loud about cannabis, and standing alongside athletes pushing the limits of what their sports can do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Per Record Breakers, the team is planning multiple events around the country this year \u2014 meaning Mesa was the opening salvo, not the finale. Expect more record attempts, more never-before-done firsts, and more stages where Weedmaps and the world&#8217;s best action-sports athletes share the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More athlete drops. More activations. More watch parties in more cities. More cultural moments where cannabis and action sports collide in public, on purpose. If Revel was any indication, the bar is officially set at \u201cdon&#8217;t blink.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On January 31, the desert held its breath.
