Event Recap

Lemonade Float Fest X Amped Electric Games

April 17–19 — Reveille Peak Ranch, Burnet, TX

Lemonade Float Fest X Amped Electric Games Racing

Lemonade Float Co ran a two-day competitive format at Reveille Peak Ranch, 3,200 acres of Texas Hill Country terrain. Saturday brought the Enduro across seven timed trail segments with cumulative scoring. Sunday brought the Endurance race on a separate course. Two formats, two podiums per division, and one rider who won both.

Ashley Gnann swept the weekend in Pro Women, winning the Enduro on Saturday and coming back Sunday to take the Endurance as well. On the Pro Men side, Branden LaCour dominated the Enduro wire to wire. Sunday's Endurance reshuffled the order, with Emiliano Salcedo edging Jay Odinokov by under a second.

Rider Spotlight

Branden LaCour

Branden LaCour

Branden LaCour came to Lemonade Float Fest X Amped Electric Games and did not leave anything on the table. In the Pro Men Enduro on Saturday, he posted the fastest segment time in five of seven segments and crossed the line at 12:09.0, over 17 seconds ahead of second place. Wire to wire in the most demanding format of the weekend.

LaCour is the kind of rider who makes terrain look like a decision rather than an obstacle. His run at Reveille Peak Ranch set the standard for Pro Men Onewheel in the first sanctioned USA FLT event of the 2026 season.

Community

Snaked Ick

They race. They perform. They write songs between heats.

Snaked Ick performing at Oak City Shredfest 6

Laura Dobbs, Sarah Meeker, and Heather Graehl are three racers who live in three different cities and only see each other at events. They are also a band. The name came from a dog named Freeway, a well-timed comment, and the kind of split-second recognition that only happens when the right people are in the same room.

Snaked Ick does not rehearse. They write lyrics between heats and practice on trail runs. Their first song was written in Heather's camper van somewhere between Las Vegas and Austin. They performed at Lemonade Float Fest X Amped Electric Games and debuted at karaoke night at Oak City Shredfest 6.

"I want something real for when we can't race anymore. Our music is going to go on forever."

Sarah Meeker

All three of them were on the results sheet this April too. Sarah finished second in Pro Women at LFF4, 35 seconds behind Ashley Gnann, after stopping mid-race to find a charger and getting back on course through what she described as "an emotional situation." Heather finished third. Laura took first in Womens Legends at Oak City. The band showed up and so did the racers.
