That's what they looked like the last time I saw mine..
|
David- you act as if his question is totally retarded! I also want to know why? Would you go on a wakeboard podium holding a snowboard?
|
was it part of the prize maybe? <BR>notice the sticker/print in the center. "Snow Basin 2010"
|
and we thought the woman's purse for winning in wakeboarding was bad!.. <BR> <BR>and...... heres a wakeboard, congrats
|
Looks like the Trophy to me, She is holding her board also....
|
"Is snowboarder Elena Hight holding a wakeboard on the podium at the Women's Dew Tour in UT?" Question answered, Did not ask why...
|
the guys got the same wakeboard...i saw it today and was wondering haha
|
Not a big deal to let the "why?" be implied? They get a silver trophy as well(see her other hand), but I'm not sure if one is for the tour and one is for the event?
|
why do wakeboards get given guitars? <BR> <BR>same concept imo.
|
Silver trophy with a miniature wakeboader on it lol.
|
I think its AWESOME that they used a WAKEBOARD as a Trophy, especially because snowboards HATE on wakeboarders all the time. That is Brilliant!
|
How can you say that snowboarders hate on wakeboarders when most of US are snowboarders in the off season?
|
Jason, <BR> <BR>I could go on and on and on about this, but Transworld and Snowboarder Magazine Routinely take pot shots at wakeboarding. <BR> <BR>For the record I too am a winter snowboarder.
|
Here is my take on different objects handed out at comps, at the Dew event if they gave a snowboard there might be a conflict of interest on board sponsors. Same with wakeboarding, "here's a Ronix board Trophy " Handing it to a Byerly rider that is on the podium..

Page 32? One of the drawbacks of winching into an urban rail is the "risk of looking like a wakeboarder" <BR> <BR>But it's true, you'd be hard pressed to find a core snowboarder who doesn't wakeboard and vice versa
