FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

New York, NY – November 15, 2005

After a hugely successful first series, Rush HD has renewed NOMADS, a multi-sport action adventure television series in High Definition. The 2006 series will be similar in format to the 2005 series, which consists of 20 one-hour episodes filled with heart-stopping action and adventure travel in the sports of skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, kayaking, mountainbiking and wakeboarding.

"We are thrilled to continue with this amazing project," said Jason Winkler of Wink Inc., "Our crews enjoy bringing these sports into the living rooms of viewers everywhere. If you cannot be skiing, surfing or wakeboarding, the next best thing is to watch these sports in HD with 5.1 surround sound.

Each episode of NOMADS takes a journey with a group of athletes to capture the unique nomadic lifestyle of their respective sport. By working closely with the best action sports athletes from around the world, NOMADS creates an 'inside' perspective that allows the viewer to be part of the trip and adventure—a truly unique way to cover these sports".

Rush HD is part of VOOM HD—"21 channels of High Definition bliss." The VOOM package is carried by the Dish Satellite Network nation-wide, as well as a handful of cable systems across the U.S.

Las Vegas, Nevada

Santa Cruz Syndicate's Jamie Goldman is the feature athlete for NOMADS, a one-hour HDTV show which started production Jan. 10th in Las Vegas, Nevada. NOMADS, produced for RUSH HD is part action/adrenaline sports and part travel documentary. NOMADS feature the best athletes from their respective sports and puts them on the road to an exotic location. Once there, locations, athletes and their sports unfold into a truly unique storyline. Joining Goldman in the feature are hometown buddies Cameron McCaul and Greg Watts.

The group started the travel documentary portion of the segment with their hands on a HD camera and began filming their adventures in the days prior to the road trip in Santa Cruz, California. Highlights before they left town include filming Goldman shooting action
for a Santa Cruz Bicycles advertisement where he pulls off a 720, and Cam McCaul poaching a jump (which will be revealed in the episode). Their first stop on their road trip to Vegas is So Cal where they make a stop at the Santa Cruz Syndicate team manager's home where the group gets to hit the Syndicate jumps, and drive karts on the dirt track.

Arriving in Vegas, the "Gold Man" group is subjected to a photo shoot before they hit the trails. Day one is spent out at Bootleg Canyon where the guys hit up the dirt jumps doing their signature moves for the cameras of the NOMADS crew. They will spend the next
6 days filming in and around Las Vegas, hitting up the top riding spots the area has to offer. The NOMADS crew will film all the attending mischief and mayhem the group can throw their way.

Air dates will be released when determined.

Here is more on the HDTV show, NOMADS:
