|
|
Tige is back for 2015 with the MyWake Online Video Challenge and they changed a few things.
Tige MyWake Contest
Here are the contest applicable to wakeskating.
Keep in mind you MUST WEAR a life jacket in all videos and FOOTAGE MUST BE ORIGINAL having never been published before. So save your banger clips, show everyone what wakeskating looks like and most of all... take home a fat paycheck from a boat company!
The wakeskate specific contest has a combined purse of $7000 in prize money and thats just to compete against other wakeskaters. Thats a huge chunk of change for Tige to put up considering they mostly cater to wakesurfing but still have two wakeskaters on board with them.
The contest..
3 Trick Line - Boat
The LowDown
This contest is a 3 trick WAKE TO WAKE BOAT LINE, with back to back tricks. Tige is a boat manufacture and they want to see some wake to wake tricks and are willing to give a wakeskater [$2000 for three bangers. Get to it.
_____________________________________________
Battle Of The CableParks (winch included)
The LowDown
Did anyone read this one? Get a team together and hammer out the best video you can at a cable park with WINCHING INCLUDED! Video has to be a minimum 3 mins and you [i] have to wear a life vest[i/] even if winching.
With all the lock in tricks going down at cable pakrs and tech wizardy going down gaps wakeskaters better put in some effort and take this one home.
The Payout is $3000 to the winning team.
______________________________________________
Best Cable Trick (winch included)
The LowDown
This one is pretty strait forward, the best single trick while being pulled behind a cable, 2.0 or winch. The Payout is $2000
____________________________________________
Video of the Year
The LowDown
Best 2-3 minute video and you are being judged against everyone.. wakeboarders and wakesurfers. There is no reason for a wakesurfer to win this category. Most throwaway wakeskate videos are better put together than every wakesurf video ive seen.
The Payout is $7500[b] to First place and runner up gets [b]$2500. Thats still a lot of money.

Battle of the Brands
No clue on this one but I'm hoping this is a Team style video and if so, I hope some wakeskate teams compete and make some magic happen! _________________ Scuba Steve's Wakeskate Film Libray |

What contest did you enter in last year?
Seems like they took the input from last years contest and tried to better format it this year for wakeskaitng by including the winch in multiple sections.
I hope some more wakeskaters enter the boat line. So many guys can throw down hammers. Coco Mendez is constantly posting Instagram vids with wake to wake hammers, Fortenberry has been asking for boat to make a comeback this year, we know Hampson kills it behind the boat and a number of other guys do as well.
I'm most looking forward to the "Battle of the Cable Parks" since they included the winch. Every wakeskate edit from the Philipenes could win that (well not at the moment since that would violate the original/ never been used before clause) category. _________________ Scuba Steve's Wakeskate Film Libray |

Really awesome to see this back again. Last year was awesome seeing all the entries. I would log on multiple times a day to see if anyone new added a vid! Nicks kicky benihana off the kicker was dope and that double kicky heelflip line by that Aphid guy (or Leaf?) was insane. |

This is a great idea executed horribly. |
