Hey all,
Last weekend I was in London at the UKs newest cable park at Liquid Leisure for the Love Jam contest.
This was my first time riding their new cable and I really enjoyed it. The obstacles are fun even though they haven't got many in at the moment and with the island in the middle it doesn't get ridiculously choppy.
So the Love Jam contest was a fun event and a nice day for it too. With all the different categories having plenty of entries it made it even more fun! It was £10 to enter which include practice ride, competition runs and a pizza, really good deal for a competition these days. The riding was in heats of about 10mins, not quite long enough but was still enough to bang out a lot of tricks. Each categories was fun and impressive to watch from the groms to the pros with everyone trying new big tricks to get on top of that podium and big tricks are good crowd pleaser for sure. In my category the wakeskate it was real fun riding with all the other skaters and riding the different obstacles, everyone was killing it on obstacles and flat, an Ozzie shredder came 3rd, Taylor in 2nd and I got 1st winning £250 prize money!
This was a sick event and I'm sure LL will be hosting more like it next summer

Ryan & Tony Birch Memorial contest
Hey all,
Back from a sick weekend last weekend at West Midlands Water Ski Center!
This is a great wakeboard competition in memorial of Ryan and Tony Birch! A whole bunch of riders from around gathered for this event and to have a great time! It was real fun to get back on a wakeboard!
With many different ages we have many different categories with the Jr boys, girls, women, men and open men. We also had a really fun big air kicker comp at night! The event was on the Saturday then there was a fun party at night in celebration. For the boat contest we had a qualifier and then the finals. Everyone rode really well in both, for me i rode well in the qualifier but then unfortunately not so good in the final. In all the categories we have some really good tricks going down and lots of people getting there runs down. Then on the big air kicker comp we all got two hits a it each with everyone going for massive technical tricks! I landed my first hit with a stalefish backside 180 and bailed out on my second hit. my main competitor was kurt as he got a toe 5, there was also other people like Sam W trying an massive toe 9 and getting so close! putting me and Kurt in for the cash prize of £200 lucky for me I came out just on top for this with more technicality. In the bag ha, Everyone killed it the prizes were sick the riders were sick and congrats to everyone on the podiums!
Looking forward to next year!

WINDFEST 2010
Hey all,
Hope everyone it getting out on the water before the winter comes along..
Last week from Thursday to Monday I was a WindFest at Sandbanks way down south in Bournemouth. This was an insane long weekend of my summer and I really enjoyed it!
Windfest is a small festival to do with all different kinds of sports mainly kitesurfing. Some of the other activities that were going on was the Animal bike tour, tight rope walking, The wakeboard and wakeskate pool gap on the beach and many more. Then on an evening was different themed party nights.
The pool gap was built into the beach two pools dug out and filled with the sea water then we had these obstacles in between the pools to hit, a gap roof top, box and a c-rail, all of these rails were fun and a challenge for all of the riders, which made it exciting for the big crowds on Sandbanks. There was riders from all over this year that came over, some from nottingham, sheffield and a few from london aswell as the Dirty South crew that live in that area.
Oli and Liam from the Dirty South helped me out letting me stay with them at Olis place and Miller for making a fun event. Also Parky that runs the Rockstar wakeboard boat down there.
This year was even better than last year with everyone there and all the people I have met. From the riding there was lots going off with all different tricks going down and even some good crashed, always a good crowd pleaser! ha.
It was also fun watching the other sports and having a go at them like the tight rope walking was a real challenge but lots of fun, and the guys there were insane doing seat drops on them and 1 guys was trying backflips and landing back on the rope!
Thanks everyone and all the photographers, this has been a real fun weekend and looking forward to next years Windfest!

TFH Final Stop
Hey all,
Saturday was the Final stop of the Ten Feet High series for 2010!
The final was a great finisher for sure! With the large crowd and lots of competitors ready to end on a high! There was not as many competitors though as some of the other stops. There was only four of us in the wakeskate category but this was good fun as it gave us more time on the water to get all are bangers down.
The conditions were perfect for wakeskate with no wind just butter. In the skate cat. mike came 4th, Will got 3rd, Zander took 2nd and I got 1st, I also took 1st overall getting the highest possible score winning my top four highest scoring results! Fun times! Also in the other categories such as inters a little shredder, Tom at only 13 took 1st and also came 1st in the overall!
Well Done everyone!
Is was a real fun series look forward to next year
