WATCH JIM PHELAN AND TRENNIS BAER ON THE OPRAH WINFREY SHOW FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23RD!
Another crazy month and a half has gone by at Team Thunderstruck. This is BY FAR the busiest Christmas season we’ve ever had and believe it or not, we have sold out of 2 of our titles in the last week! More on that later!
The Print world was crazy with Thunderstruck articles in the last month so be sure to check out all the snowmobiling magazines out there! A couple of standout articles:
SLEDNECKS MAGAZINE, Volume 2, issue 2, November 2005, page 20 has a 10 page article and interview with 2005 Xtremey Award winner and Thunderstruck rider SHAWN HASTINGS! There are also 6 color pictures, including a full page shot! Shawn talks about his experiences with Thunderstruck and his winning of the award for his awesome segment in Thunderstruck 3. A must have, contact SLEDNECKS for more info.
SLEDHEADS MAGAZINE, Volume 7, issue 6, December 2005, page 48 has a 9 page article about Jim Phelan (that’s me) and the inner workings of Team Thunderstruck. Some candid statements and tons of great pictures make this an article you should not miss! You’ll learn of my background, how I like to film, and who I like to film! Also in this issue the cover shot is none other than part-time Thunderstruck rider JULIO EIGUREN from Boise, Idaho. The shot was taken on one of our outings and both Julio and Mustang Johnny have several shots throughout this magazine. Check it out!
Our riding season has started and I have about 120 miles on my new APEX. What an awesome sled. No question it is heavy when stuck, but when you’re on the throttle it’s like a dream come true. I cannot wait for the 100 hp boost it’ll be getting soon! We haven’t been filming much yet, but we’ve rode Cooke City, Lincoln and Buck Creek. All these areas need more snow but I thought Cooke City had the best snow.
Our shipping of orders will be 100% caught up by Monday or Tuesday of this week except for a few orders that the products are on backorder. Thunderstruck 1 is out of stock but I did find 50 copies at a distributor which I am buying back and Thunderstruck 3.5 is also out of stock or will be in the next day or two. TS3.5 will NOT be available for order after this weekend so get your orders in right NOW!!!
I will be updating all the rider’s new sleds and our music pages soon so check back! TS4.5: REALITY is well on its way to completion so watch for its page to be up soon! Here is the artwork for TS4.5 thanks to Jill at Team Summit Productions!
