ROI Anticipates Banner Year for Event Company

HENDERSON, Nev. -- Rhino Outdoor International, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: RHOI), which operates outdoor activity based businesses, including wholly owned subsidiary W.E.ROCK Event, Inc., is pleased to report that W.E.ROCK (World Extreme Rock Crawling Series), an off-road competition and event management company, is kicking-off the 2008 Rock Crawling Season with the seventh annual "Put Up or Shut Up" competition being held in Congress, Arizona on January 5th and 6th. The event offers a unique format where competitors from all classes compete head-to-head for the championship and season opening bragging rights.

"This event serves as the traditional launch point for a new season," stated Howard Pearl, CEO & President of ROI. "We are expecting the 2008 season to set new standards for competitor participation, fan support and media coverage of Rock Crawling." W.E.ROCK has scheduled eight regional events in the US, a national Championship and a World Championship event to be held in Australia in 2008.

"Put Up is a unique event in which 28 teams, driving rigs from all of the various competitive classes will face-off for two days of tough competition over some extremely challenging obstacles. A champion will be crowned at the end of the day Sunday," stated Dustin Webster, Executive Director of W.E.ROCK. "The natural, boulder-covered course at Congress, located 60 miles northwest of Phoenix, provides competitors with the opportunity to test new equipment, practice their driving skills and work-out early season bugs in anticipation of the upcoming 2008 rock crawling season. " Tickets are available at a number of sponsor locations throughout the Phoenix area and at the gate. Camping and RV sites are available for fans planning to attend both days of the competition. Visit www.WE-ROCK.cc for ticket locations, updated event information and directions to the site.

"Put Up always brings out some of the best teams in the sport," continued Webster. "The format is unique, fun and a bit loose - and it is a great start to what is going to be a great season. Fans have an opportunity to see some of the best competitors in the world do what they do best - crawling some of the toughest obstacles we'll see all year." The field is limited to the first 28 teams to register for this always popular event.
