Silas said he wanted the info spread like wild fire, so re-post about the event and encourage people to head out!

So I noticed that sesitec is a sponsor. Does that mean a 2.0 is pulling this event?

I think they are. Reed had an instagram shot that showed the towers on the ground before they went up. His set up reminds me of those stair features at cwc.

So I'm guessing with the 2.0 they will do one pass down the stairs then another back up - up the falls? Pretty rad.

We can just camp out there like at Ben's place, right?

This setup looks like a lot of fun. Why haven't I seen the same hype on WS.com as we did for other stops? I have seen a few on-location images on facebook and it looks like there is room for camping and an amazing setup. Anyone there that would like to give more insight?

LOTS of rad stuff on insta--ben horan has posted some nice riding shots, and you can see that thing being built if you look at reeds posts. There might be something posted by remotewakeskates also...but seriously, that thing is insane. I'm really proud of those guys and everything they've invested in that build.

Here's a link to the press release I got from silas. Hopefully you're all following the wakeskate tour on facebook because that's another really good way to check out the bracketing, images other people post, etc.

like nick robinson, bt and reed hanson of course ^^

Can't wait for the results!! Anyone got some further information?

electricsnow · cassette Joined: 14 Sep 2003 Posts: 10751 City: Jefferton

Reed won, Ben got second and Andrew p got third. I thought reed also got best trick for the boat event also. I read all of this on instagram. I haven't gotten a release or anything yet.

Actually, it looks like reed swept the whole thing! He also won the boat event, and I think bt got second and balzer got third. Nice work reed!

Aweseom, Nick Robinson 4th, very nice!

Yeah i had some trouble with Instagram, wasn't able to load the picture or any other data. I only saw the rankings for the best trick event, nothing else.

Thanks for the information electricksnow
