Loop’d Network Launches Online Ski Community

Posted: Tuesday, 04 March 2008

Loop’d Network, the premiere social network exclusively for sports, today launched a community just for skiers at www.loopd.com.

The first-of-its-kind online community offers skiers the unique ability to seek sponsorship from companies like Monster Energy (www.monsterarmy.com) and enter contests sponsored by brands such as Oakley (www.oakleyridersearch.com), while interacting with professional athletes and community members who share a passion for their sport.

With the launch of the new community, Loop’d Network is also kicking off a contest that gives skiers who upload the best action videos and pictures a chance to win autographed pro gear from World Championship skier, and Red Bull-sponsored athlete, Daron Rahlves. As host of the new Loop’d ski community, Rahlves invites skiers to take part in the exclusive online contest by registering at www.loopd.com. Rahlves will personally select the winner(s) on March 31, presenting them with autographed skis and a helmet -- along with other exclusive prizes from the athlete’s sponsors.

“The launch of our new ski community underscores Loop’d Network’s dedication to serving all of our users, including leading lifestyle brands, who are interconnected through action, endurance and motor sports social communities,” said Scott Tilton, chief executive officer of Loop’d Network. “The skiers on Loop’d Network have been asking for their own community, and we believe this addition brings a mix of interaction, contests and sponsorship that will bring both serious athletes and enthusiasts together.”

“I encourage all skiers – amateur, professional, enthusiasts and fans – to join Loop’d Network’s new ski community and send in the coolest pictures and videos of you or your friends in action. Be creative!” said Rahlves. “Above all, the new Loop’d ski community is a great place to get acquainted with the pros, win some of my gear, find potential sponsorships and connect with people who love the sport.”

Each month, a professional skier on Loop’d Network will host a similar contest, judging and selecting winners from picture and video submissions. Submit your photos and videos for this month’s contest at www.loopd.com.
