my dog felt the urge to give you guys a sneak peak at my 2010 board. she is very sneaky.
last weekend was nationals, it was held in the ridiculously hot city of oklahoma city. it was a consistent 105 out just about every day. i rode pretty decent, not as awesome as i would have liked, but i basically stood up 2 passes with the exception of 1 fall at the end of my second pass. i felt i rode pretty well and figured i had beaten some of the other guys in my heat especially when one of the riders fell 3 times. however i was put in last place in my heat which didnt allow me to advance into the next round. me and a lot of other people smelt BS……. but whatever, thats how wakeboard contests go i guess. Â
anyhow like i said it was extremely hot but all around it was a good time. the whole oakley crew was there and we got to teach the fashion editors of maxim magazine and teen magazine how to wakeboard as well as get some shredding in for ourselves when the event was done on sunday. we had our oakley mastercraft there and we loaded her down and rode till dark. it was a good time.
here are some photos of the weekend.
breakfast with benny g, jeff house, and shawn watsons retarded twin brother. hahahaha just kidding, thats just how watson eats.
sort of a far away picture but here is the site from the bridge.
i believe this was jimmy larich doing a switch heel 9 off the kicker.
the heat finally got to my team manager matty swanson from oakley. his nose started bleeding uncontrollably and he went down for the count inside the o-lab. poor guy.
here is a shake down of my june this far thru pictures……. enjoy.
i went to adam erringtons birthday party that redbull threw for him. just a rented out airplane locker with 2 private jets, DJs, professional break dancers and of course…… red bull chicks!
then i flew out the nest day to texas where i stayed for 6 days. 1 travel day, 3 contest days, 1 oakley photo shoot day, and 1 more travel day.
oakley autograph signing.
the crowd
things got really weird and borderline inappropriate for two mannequins at the oakley booth in texas.
then i headed straight to cali where i got to go shoot guns with alec, a buddy of mine. and discovered that some people in cali have way to much time on their hands. here is an awfully tricked out nail gun for sale.
i then got to witness this amazingness. thank you for scaring me, fat man.
i hung out at dodgers stadium with cat. her place of employment…. no big deal!
cruised down to oakley where they apparently bought a tank for security purposes i guess.
i then went to powell for our liquid force catalog shoot as well as bro stock. apparently some people on our team have a problem.
powell at dusk:
then i hiked a frickin mountain.
then amber wing hiked a frickin mountain on her hands!
amber living on the edge.
this helicopter pilot got arrested.
then i went back to cali where i got to go shred with a buddy of mine named chris williams.

chris doing something else that looked really cool.
this is impressive. this is the latest trick that everyone is starting to do now but chris williams has been doing this wrapped AND handle passed (as shown here) for ever! handle passed backside off axis 540. RECOGNIZE!
my canyon lake crew on chris’s boat.
then ate ate the greatest place on earth. in-and-out burger. sunset blvd location.
then drove to vegas for cats birthday party.
cat being cat at the hotel room in vegas. happy b day lady!
alec wanted emma to party.
but shes like daddy and isnt much of a party animal. haha
then i headed to raleigh NC for a clinic with overtons.
then headed to the knoxville tour stop where we made a quick pit stop at a rail jam that was being put on by oakley and liquid force at a restaurant/bar.
downtown knoxville.
athletes staging area.
then i drove collin harington to his own premiere……… along with dano, don wallace, max, joey, and matt…… nothing like showing up in style to your own movie premiere huh collin?! hahahaha
and now i am sitting in the knoxville airport waiting to board my flight to new jersey where i have a clinic to do on monday and tuesday. ive been gone for 3 weeks and wont be home for another 3…….. AWESOME!
i just got some custom preventative knee braces in the mail courtesy from CTI2. stoked on the hook up! thanks boys!
CTI2 headquarters in foothill ranch, california. they are literally the next hill top over from my biggest sponsor oakley.
just a few of the different specialty model knee braces they make.
me getting fitted.
the final product. thanks CTI2!
this is how my fly core board arrived in the mail…it looks like someone at liquid force has too much time on their hands!
check out OAKLEYS site for some more info and pictures.        Â
whats up everyone! if you have not had a chance to get your hands on my brand new lyman 139 deck from liquid force, here is your chance to WIN one thru one of the raddest companies out there!                    Â
OAKLEY, has come up with a creative way for all you thinkers out there to get your hands on my signed 139 lyman deck. not only will you win my board but you will also get a pair of polarized oil rigs, my new personal favorites for ‘08′. oakley is also doing give-a-ways with other oakley team riders such as skateboardings ryan scheckler, surfings bruce irons, FMX rider mike mason and skate/snowboardings shaun white.   Â
To enter in the contest you need to be creative. the artists at oakley have come up with one of the coolest ad campaigns for ‘08′, it is basically a shoe box diorama, like the school projects you worked on when you were in middle school. the idea is to create your own diorama by either physically building one or do it in a design program on your computer. the diorama needs to be inspired by your favorite action sport and be “oakleyed out”, for all you kids out there that might have an end of the year shoe box diorama due, or if you are creative and are looking to win my new signed board and a pair of oil rigs, this is for you! CLICK HERE to get all the details on what you need to do to be in the running! Â
Liquid Force  at the request of Chuck Morrow (the owner of ambush board shop and buywake.com) have decided to build ONLY 10 limited lyman boards…………..and i just got 2 in the mail today!!!! they are bad-ass! they come with a slider base which my NORMAL board does not have, and limited graphics. they will be sold exclusively through buywake.com. go to their site on JUNE 1st, to get full details as to when my EXTREMELY limited lyman 139 board will be sold and the potential to WIN the very first limited made.
here is a very limited photo of the board:
