I think I heard this at Worlds in Reno last year. <BR> <BR>He'll be missed. Ike goes fricken huge.

Ike is a great guy, very personable. We were fortunate to have him at NJ Wakefest for the last 2 years. I wish him much luck and success promoting the sport in the "land down undaa" <BR> <BR>Cheers! <BR> <BR>(Message edited by njskier on January 16, 2008)

I think they said at boardstock that he will no longer be riding/competing in the states anymore.

I was BS'ing with him at Reno and he said he was just going to compete in events that he was in the area at the time. Real cool dude.

If this is true... IT SUCKS!!! Ike rocks!! We were lucky enough to have him at MidWest WakeFest a few years back too.... very cool guy &amp; always seems to remember us &amp; take time out to chat a little everytime we see him.

I first saw him ride at a contest in 96 at Shasta when he was working for John Stiner's wake school. No one knew who he was, until he went out and schooled all the local outlaw riders. Everyone was standing there watching his run and we just looked at each other like who the "hell" is this guy. Great guy, he will me missed on the US tour.
