2005 TSR Freezride Results Author: TSR Press Release
Date: 3-01-2005
In Texas you never plan on specific weather, you just go with what you get. And as for the second year in a row, the event has lived up to its name. While there was beautiful weather on Friday and Sunday, riders had to deal with 49 degrees and rain all day long for the wake competitions. TSR was extremely excited to see just about every Texas Rider make it out for the kick off to the 2005 season. This included Emily Copeland-Durham, who came out to ride in the men's division, even though she had not been on the water since October. Look for big things from some of the Texas riders this year who seem to be ahead of schedule by getting an early start at this event.
While wakeskate behind the boat only had six entries, there was no shortage on talent. Joshua Steele and Jerry Laferty battled out for first and second in one of the closest finishes of the day. Both wakeskaters hit 360 shuvits, backside shuvits, the TSR flat rail and more. In the end Joshua's backside 180 off the wake, and consistently throwing 5 shuvit variations without even the smallest chance of falling gave him the victory. Newcomer to Texas, Sammy Woodson also stuck a 360 shuvit and rode well to earn a podium spot in third.
Also held on Saturday was the Cable wakeboard competition that had three categories: Pro & Advanced wakeboard and wakeskate. The format was the same for all divisions, 2 separate laps and a wild card trick if the rider stood up his second pass. Mike Vestal, the top crossover athlete took home top honors and a jacket for cable wakeskate, while also finishing 3rd in Sunday's skateboard comp. Savannah Barber showed up last year's terrific performance with a second place finish, while Mario Deleon earned his first podium spot on Saturday.
Sunday brought a whole different day, with the sun shining and the wind calm, Skaters prepared to compete while over 60 riders used the cablelake throughout the day, including most of Saturday's wake competitors. The Skateboarders were broke into three divisions where youth prevailed. Seven-year-old Rye Beres won the 13 and under division, while 13 year old Garret Young won the 14 and over division. Each athlete competed against skaters that were much older, and each easily won their division. The future is bright for Texas skateboarding. As if that were not enough, the sponsored division was won by Rye's older brother, Reney Berres. Reney, only 12 years old, killed it on the TSR skatepark and left no question who was walking away with the biggest check. Justin Delgado, Mike Vestal, Cody Dasher, Brent Everett all skated well to finish out the top 5. The TSR skate team was excited to have a great showing on their home park and have 3 of the top 5 placewinners in the sponsored division. With the perfect day for a skateboard competition, the 2005 FreeZride came to an end with 8 first time champions, each earning a FreeZride jacket by winning their event in wake or skate. TSR will definitely bring the FreeZride back in 2006, despite the cold rainy weather that has seemed to become expected for the wake events.
