Starting today, the new URL for our blog will be blog.moda3.com. The same people will be writing about the same stuff that you’ve come to enjoy here, but in a completely new format that is both easier for us to use and easier for you to read. We’ve also got some guest writers lined up to give some unique perspectives. Our free WordPress blog has been great but it is time for us to step up and out on our own. Please update bookmarks and RSS feeds accordingly as we will stop posting new content to this blog this week.

The first round of the Miltown Beatdown went down on Friday March 5th at The Wherehouse. The turnout was huge, much larger than would’ve fit into last year’s venue, Jackalope Lounj. Peep the pics below.

Check out this Saturday’s Saturday Session on Radio Milwaukee. Every weekend, you can tune your FM Dial to the far left end and provide a soundtrack to your evening… sort of like the movie American Graffiti except without the hair grease. We’ll be posting the new ones as they come up but you can find the entire archive – with mixes by the best of the best – right here.

This Saturday night at Stonefly Brewery, MODA3 is presenting ‘Both Sides of the Mirror’ – an Ugly affair. There will be performances by Misen Lync, Speak Easy, The Cranberry Show, Streets and Young Deuces with music provided by DJ Tyme.
Five bucks at the door gets you entry and a mixtape to take with and bump in your whip on the way home. Performances start at 10:00 so you’ve got time to catch a mellow Ma Fischer’s dinner beforehand.

Red Bull Buttercup is going down on Saturday, March 13th at Devil’s Head Resort!
Red Bull Butter Cup is a contest series that showcases creativity in technical flatland trickery. Born in the northeast in 2009 and bred for the country in 2010, it’s all about going back to the basics of what made us all fall in love with shredding in the first place: FUN!
Butter up and cut loose on the custom Red Bull butter pads and bring your bag of tricks. Style and creativity is the name of the game and the competition is hot so the cream will rise to the top. The jam session format keeps the action flowing while riders battle for cash and fresh gear. Only trick sequences that include buttering will count so hit the snow and start polishing your skills.

Picnic In The Park is back for the 6th season! Picnic is the original laid back snowboard session where it’s all about having good times! Shred with friends, party on the deck, hit the BBQ, get down with Live DJ’s from No Request Sounds, all on a custom built snowboard park featuring the Red Bull ButterCup boxes. We will be hosting a SnoDice contest in the afternoon on the ButterCup features.
Chillfest

Chillfest, not Chilifest, is going down this Saturday at Olympia Resort in Oconomowoc. In addition to the recycled cardboard race (always a crowd pleaser and Warren Miller favorite) there is going to be a pretty heavy hitting slopestyle and big air contest. We’ll be there all day spreading the love with Red Bull and the Empire Collective. Stop by, pound an energy shot, slap some fives and grab some stickers.
As an added bonus, you stand a chance of being in the background of a ‘Nationally known reality show’ as the show will be filming the finale of their monthlong episode on Saturday.
Femme Fatale Contest Series

Check it out ladies – The Femme Fatale Contest Series is looking to crown the three queens of the Midwest.

More information can be found on the Facebook page for Femme Fatale.
