Phantom, thanks for sharing these pics. Please keep them coming. All of you are so inspiring!!!!!!!!! <BR>We love to watch you ride Billy! You are the nicest guy and such an awesome rider. Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow...billy, your backroll rocks my world dude! That is freakin sweet.

Thanks everyone, there are several more. <BR>Dave's going to post the those with the results. <BR>I wasn't able to stick around for the final round.

pretty sweet, but where is billy's life jacket? under his shirt i am assuming?

thanks Phantom, those pics are awesome! TRULY Inspirational!

Much thanks. Best post of the month. <BR>BT is sic-with-the-style.

Every single person there is an inspiration. Amazing pictures, amazing people.

Billy made the finals in wakeboarding and ended up third. He broke his board in the middle of the second run and he basically had nothing to ride for his final. He borrowed a 140 State with fins in it(after he's been riding the Marius for 2 years finless). So off he went without feeling it out of dialing it in. He was pretty displeased with his final run and was sure he could have pulled at least second if his board hadn't broken. He's more stoked than ever to get out and charge it and pick up a few more tricks for next year. Not a bad showing.... LOL <BR> <BR>Definitely inspirational seeing those pics. Big props to all the competitors for getting out there and killing it.

And just to think that I was complaining about some choppy water today?!!!<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/uhoh.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>WOW congrats to all that have entered.Truly inspiring.
