yo, my best friends son is competing at the worlds this weekend. he's the 9 yr old ripper you've seen some pics of on here. he's competing in wakeboard but is evolving into dual sport rider.

you can watch both saturday and sunday live on fuel.tv
i think you can give a shout out somehow on fuel, his name is ben watts. ya'll throw lil man some support, he's been sick all week and would tell his dad until the school nurse said he looked kinda sick and he had a 103 temp.. he was that scared he wouldn't get to compete.. he's feeling back up to speed and they should be in OKC this morning...

a few old pics

I got some pretty sick footage of the Pro Wakeskate division today. Reed Hansen is really good! Cool

A few snaps from Worlds. Will prob post footy later when it's logged and put together with a quick edit.

Nice job Reed. Barefoot Ski into victory!

I read about that on another site. Laughing

He did something similar at the toe jam finals last year for the cable event. I don't remember what he tried, but he fell and ended up tumble turning up and barefooting. I have footage of that, but have no way to edit becuase I think my computer would either freeze or explode. But someday I'd like to post it up. There was some good riding that went on that weekend and reed's final run on the cable was mind bending.

Also, I see that ben watts character won his division. and congratulations to reed for defending his worlds title from last year! Cool

Grubb fell apart and Reed threw down some hammers. W2w fs bigspin to seal the deal. Was odd, Grubb fell on his shindy in the finals.
