Would be a good event for Pastrana or MC or Bubba (who won the last
SurferCross).

It's just part of the entertainment at the SX. The part where Suzuki
and Clear Channel make you feel all fuzzy and warm about them and
there generosity to charity. Good PR.
Absolutely. And when you get on the bad side of their legal department, you
should see how their tune changes.
I, for one, would like to hear some details of this.
