"Insanity-The Ride is the next level in an ongoing trend of creating the most extreme thrill ride out there," said Bobby Ray Harris, general manager and senior vice president of operations at Stratosphere Casino Hotel and Tower. "Coming off our recent success with the X Scream thrill ride, which was launched on Halloween 2003, we're looking forward to this new breed of highly aggressive thrill ride to stretch the endurance and limits of thrill seekers at Stratosphere. The difference between X Scream and Insanity is that X Scream drives riders crazy by playing upon their fear of heights and falling. The new Insanity ride, well, you'll have to be nuts to even think about getting on it," Harris added. "X Scream blows your mind. Insanity is for riders whose minds are already blown."

The first Snowy Ride was launched in 2001 as a request from Steve Walter, a young man who lost his fight against cancer. Steve loved motorcycle riding and asked that a charity motorcycle ride be organised to raise funds for cancer research and cancer care, “So that one day no other kid will have to go through what I’ve been through”.

On May 21, 2008, at 7:00 PM, the Ride of Silence™ will begin in North America and roll across the globe. Cyclists will take to the roads in a silent procession to honor cyclists who have been killed or injured while cycling on public roadways. Although cyclists have a legal right to share the road with motorists, the motoring public often isn't aware of these rights, and sometimes not aware of the cyclists themselves.
