This is a WWA sanctioned event. If your year membership is still valid come event time then your good to go, if you don't have a WWA membership than you can sign up at the winch contest for $40.00 for the year. We will also try to have "day only" memberships that will be cheaper than $40.00, but if you plan on riding in other contests it's better just to get a year's membership and be done with it.
The event will be brought to you by Wakeskating.com, Boardstop, Freeride Wakeboard School, and Pulldozer along with other sponsors from the wakeskate industry providing soft goods and wakeskates (will announce those sponsors at a later time). Additional sponsors are always welcome, please PM me or Tampa Jimmie if interested in helping sponsor this awesome event.
All Entry fees (pro and am) are $40.00
Sponsored riders division (pro) and an amateur division. Both divisions are limited to 16 riders each, 4 riders in 4 heats for both Pro and Am divisions.
Pro's will judge the Am's and vice-versa...Judges TBD via registration.
We will not have a division for the ladies this year, but ladies are welcome to compete as well. I hope we have some show up ready to rip!!! Females on wakeskates own all!!!
Pro Division
1st = $250.00
2nd = $150.00
3rd = $100.00
All Pro entry fees will be added to the purse plus shwagg for each individual that places.
Am Division
Will divide up the entry fees according to registration for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd plus shwagg for each individual that places.
Obstacles will be a choice between an incline or a box, then onto a floating obstacle to throw a trick over just before the winch line runs out.
Format, still being decided on...will re-post the format when a final decision has been made.
If you are interested in riding in either of the divisions please PM or E-mail me @ rgetter2@balconesresources.com or PM or e-mail Tampa Jimmie @ jimmie@blastwakeskates.com with:
Your Name, email and/or phone #, hometown/city currently living in, and the division you would like to compete in.
Don't miss the 1st Annual Winchfest @ Waketoberfest. It's going to be a sick addition to Waketoberfest and hope with the help of the wakeskate community, we can grow it year in and year out.
Thanks again to Wakeskating.com, Boardstop, Freeride, Pulldozer and 360wakeboard.com for supporting us in our own event at the 10th Annual Waketoberfest. _________________ @rgetter |
