Radical Racer Contest!

When opportunity came knocking, the Radical Racer leapt at the chance to achieve fame and glory, even if it took embarking on a dangerous race around the globe. Transportation would be crucial to their success, so they worked hard to obtain the perfect way to ride to the finish line. While packing a bag, they came across an item that reminded them of the good times in their life and decided to use it as a lucky charm. Knowing this infamous race is a treacherous and hard-fought journey where every second counts, the racer made sure to have one special trick to gain an advantage over the competition, or even defend themselves if necessary.


Include These Three Original Elements

Though the objects may appear anywhere in your piece, you must be sure to have your artwork feature your original interpretation of your racer's TransportationLucky Charm, and Special Trick.


The story of Radical Racer Reece Jacobson:

Reece Jacobson is an orphan from southern California. He loves surfing and surf culture but he’s afraid of the open water. His parents died in a boating accident. He replaced the 
surfboard with a skateboard.  The skateboard is his passion and 
obsession.  Full speed skating makes him feel alive and closer to the memory of his parents.  It’s his mental escape from the oppressive state run orphanage he currently resides. There is no speed limit for Reece’s passion.  When he heard about the Radical Race competition a light bulb went off!  He quickly made plans to take first place and make his parents proud.
