Whats up dudes! Just got back from the 3rd stop of the Toe Jam in Canadia. Had a awesome time and ended up riding pretty descent. I qualified this time to ride all weekend, but didnt make it to much farther than the 1st round in the boat and rail park contest. I keep drawing the wrong people to ride against in the 1st round. Reed Hanson for rails, he got second place. Then picked Nick Taylor for the boat, and he ended up getting second place. So from now on I am gonna have someone else pick my names from the hat. Hopefully there will be a wild card position for me going into the Toe Jam finals in O-town. Anyways, just back home and working my a$$ off. I am most def in new trick mode so let yall know how it goes. Holla

Whats Up its July

I just got back from Texas and stop two of the Toe Jam. Had a pretty good time. I didnt make it to far in the contest, but I rode good. I just keep picking the wrong heats. I did manage to get some good footage of everyone riding. And I am making a video for alliancewakeskate.com with all that footage , so check that out. I also built a 24 foot, super sick portable incline rail at my house. I made it with feet, so we can move it deeper or shallower water, and also hit it toe side or heel side. Its perfect for the butler chain, since rails are forbidden. Here is a new picture of some nite skating. Holla at ya soon.

Whats up! I had a crazy month of may. I had to move all my stuff to a new place to live. No more A frame on Lake Sheen. Now i live in 5 bedroom house on Lake Sheen. We have 3 different Nautiques and a jet ski to choose from, and my buddy Mike M. is gonna buy a Hive winch. SO I am totally stoked on the new crib. I will post some pics of the place when I get some. As far as riding, I am riding better than ever, and having so much fun. I am not gonna worry about doing all the contests this year,( being that I cant afford to get there anyway) But I wanna concentrate more on learning new tricks. Toe Jam at TSR is in a couple weeks, cant wait to tear it up. HOLLA

I went to the Metro West gap today, and busted a Frontside Flip clean 5th try down the drop. So stoked, I had landed kinda before but dragged it out. This one was clean, and here is a picture of it. No video though, but I have Brooke Geery to vouch for me she eye witnessed it.

April 08

2008-04-23T11:35:00.000-07:00

Crazy month. So far I have been super busy every weekend this month. First I went Lubbock, TX for a rail jam, and to do a clinic. It was a good time for sure. I ended up winning the rail jam, and came home with a nice big wad of cash. I was super amped to win and represent GB on Fuel TV. Last weekend was the Toe Jam. I was very stoked on my riding all weekend. I qualified 1st in my heat, and made the top 16 riders. But I got a little bad luck on drawing for head to head rounds. For the boat I drew Brian Grubb. I new the chances of me making it through were not very good, being he is the boat slayer. Anyways he went first and rode pretty good, not very good but pretty good. Then it was my turn, I rode pretty well as well, I ended up not making it, but i still think if it was judged by overall run and not 90% wake to wake I would of takin Grubb out 1st round. So next was the rail park finals, I drew Ross Gardner, and I went first held back a little, but rode very well, and got takin out by Ross. Oh well at least I qualified. This weekend is Wake Games, hopefully it turns out good there. Also I have been blunt sliding it up I will post some pictures soon. LATER.

Holy Crap its March!

Whats up dudes? Man, GB is all over the Daily Habit on Fuel. Thats so rad for Rattray and Doyle to be on that show. Check it out if you have not already. Hope everybody's is doing good. I have just been working my @$$ off at work, and trying to ride. We built another pool gap at my bros house down the street. I drew up the sweetest gap ever and then we built it. We all got some good footy so look for that to be around soon. Other than that its all boat sets now. Our ski is done for, hopefully we can find a new one. Take care everybody.

Waz Up? Hope everybody had a good holiday. Been a warm winter so far here in R-land. Been trying to get the winch out as much as possible. I met with a couple dudes in Melbourne Beach, FL. at the super sick beach break. We set the winch on the beach and walked the handle way down the beach and hit up the shoreline. The waves were pretty big that weekend so it was pretty gnarly, but got some good video footage out of it. I got my new and improved Urban Slider, happy to report it is holding together very well and is ready to shred at a lake near you. Holla

November=cold water

I just checked out the GB website, and it is looking bad a$$. The water in my lake has finally gotten freezing. I have been hitting up O.W.C. alot lately. This winter I am going to work on getting crazy with nose presses and bluntslides. I have been trying to come up with the perfect blunt nobbies for the bottom of my board. And am going to push for GB to help develop some for next year.

Just got back from Reno. It was a crazy time out there. We stayed in a casino hotel called "The Nugget". Pretty rad place, all the late night food you couldnt ever want. The contest went alright, I just squezzed thru first round. Did pretty good the second round, and in the finals pretty much bombed, but thats ok cause Grubb did too putting me in third place. So unbelievable.

Toe Jam stop 2 and winching San Antonio

2007-08-15T12:13:00.000-07:00

The 2nd stop of the Toe Jam was at the Texas Ski Ranch, aka cable park. It was probably my favorite contest because it felt like we were all riding together at the same time. Everybody was killing it and having a great time. I ended up making the top 16 in qualiying which put me through to the next days boat contest. I rode ok behind the boat and ended up in 5th again. The final day was the cable again, and I made it through to the finals, and got third place. After each day of contest riding me and couple bros went to San Antonio where we found the sickest drop ever, aside the dead floating opposums everywhere. We all got some good stuff and were not gonna tell where that spot is at. Holla

Toe Jam stop 1, FS Flip, The Projects Florida

2007-08-14T11:01:00.000-07:00

The first Toe Jam went all right for me. I ended up qualifying in the top 16 in the rail park. I rode pretty good I got a nice flip trick line, as well as some pretty good rail hits. The next day was the boat I qualified in the top 8, and ended up in 5th behind the boat. The last day was the rail park again, and I was up against Danny Hampson, and he killed it ending my day pretty quick. But i still got a little cash from the boat contest. Holla

Toe Jam stop 3 and winching the Northwest

2007-07-13T17:31:00.001-07:00

Hey dude's, thanks for checking out the new GB site. Just got back in town from a killer trip out West. I started in Boise, Idaho where I got to ride on some crazy lake with Gabe Paulson, then headed out to the Washington for the 3rd stop of the Byerly Toe Jam. I made it to the finals and ended up in third place behind the boat and won some cash. Thank god I had so many bills to pay. After that I met with Zack Stone and a couple other guys in Oregon, and did some serious winching. Look for that trip in the coming Alliancewake magz.
