Circus Media Takes On SkaterFest 2024 with RP Elite Motors & Marine at Lake Texoma
October 16th, 2024 - Matthew Hledin
Circus Media USA, in collaboration with Scrapyard Media and Speed On The Water, proudly took on media production duties for RP Elite Motors’ SkaterFest 2024.
This inaugural, newly-branded SkaterFest was held at Lake Texoma, straddling the Texas-Oklahoma border. The event was hosted at West Bay Casino & Resort on the Oklahoma side, where Ross and McKenzie Ramsey of RP Elite Motors & Marine welcomed Skater enthusiasts from across the nation.
Originally hosted by Ron Szolack at Michigan’s Lake St. Clair, SkaterFest brings together Skater Powerboat owners to celebrate their passion for high-performance boating. This year’s event was particularly significant, marking Skater Powerboats’ 50th anniversary (1974-2024). Skater Founder Peter Hledin, his son Michael Hledin, and Skater’s Head of Sales Tony Cutsuries joined from Michigan to commemorate the milestone.
In an interview with Circus Media, Peter Hledin expressed his enthusiasm: “I think this lake is the perfect Skater lake. It’s all about the people—not just the boats, but the community that enjoys them.”
The celebration concluded in the West Bay Casino & Resort Ballroom, where RP Elite’s Ross Ramsey presented Peter with a custom-made gift. A tribute video, produced by Circus Media, honored Skater Powerboats’ 50-year legacy.
SkaterFest is set to return to Lake Texoma in 2025, promising even more excitement and a larger turnout.
