Can someone tell me what pro event was held in Queensland Austraila last month. Unless there are a bunch of them. I read in our local paper here in IL that Mike Van Patten a poster here on WW won the championship for 30-39yr old division. Props to Mike. It said he threw a Tantrum 2 blind,scarecrow, S-bend and a whirley. Pretty nice set for a 31 year old.

It was worlds wasn't it?

Adam, <BR>it was Worlds.

Heck no! That's not the Mike from Wonder Lake. Mike VanPatten is a great guy and rides on the Fox River. He is an ambassador of the sport and has an amazing set of tricks - sponsored by 1080 and Munson Marine. He also makes great wakeboard videos under the name "Hydrotherapy". His brother rides pretty good, too. <BR> <BR>Here's the article <BR><a href="http://www.nwherald.com/CommunitySection/284543636553506.php" target="_blank">http://www.nwherald.com/CommunitySection/284543636553506.php</a>
