benny g at the projects.

August 2nd, 2009 admin

i rolled out to the projects the other morning to watch benny g have his first go at the system 2.0. ben isnt much of a cable rider not because he thinks its lame or non legit or anything like that but because he lives in clermont and never really gets a chance to ride the cable. when ben and i first ever moved to florida back in 2000 we would go to owc at least once a week, however we NEVER tried any air tricks but we did learn some pretty sick tumble turns around the corners that we were quite proud of.

fast forward to july of 2009 and we find a new kind of cable system and a rider wanting to learn air tricks. the system 2.0 is supposed to help you learn air tricks a little easier and is meant to be more forgiving. and its also an AWESOME replacement for the winch if you are able to instal something that permanent and that expensive. anyhow, ben cruised out with thewakeplace.com to document his first time ever behind a system 2.0 unfortunately ben had taken a few fairly heavy edge catches the day before and had a borderline torn ab muscle which was put over the edge by his first ever raily attempt behind the 2.0. even though ben tor his ab he learned a railey, a reverse tumble turn (which was supposed to be a backroll) hahaha and a front flip. he unfortunately had quit early due to his injury. i know he is planning on revisiting the 2.0 soon so be sure to visit www.thewakeplace.com frequently and watch out for bens 2.0 experience. there is a really cool interview with him up right now. click HERE to see it.
