Beyblade Rip Revolution the saga continues. Not to be out done by season 2 Rip Zone, season 3 spins into high gear with Beyblade Engine Gear and Hard Metal series, forcing our 32 competitors to take it to the next level in the extreme battle to be crowned Beyblade Rip Revolution champion.

The games continued with Kellogg's Frosted Flakes "Who's Got the Moves" Soccer Challenge. We challenged kids across the country to show us their moves in our Frosted Flakes Obstacle Course. And WOW! Have these kids ever got Grrreat skills!
