Just heard from Erica and she is the new Women's Amateur National Champ! <BR> <BR>We are very proud of her and proud to know her. Could not have happened to a nicer person. <BR> <BR>Josh

Way to go Erica! Congrats. That's f'in awesome.

Wow...Erica, (trying to do my best Ron Burgandy impression) I'm not even mad!...I'm impressed! <BR> <BR>All joking aside, that is freakin' awesome. Josh is so right, it could not have happened to a nicer person. Anyone who has never had the chance to ride with Erica, boy are you missing out, she charges harder than most guys I know. <BR> <BR>Congrats Erica, no one deserves it more. You ROCK! <BR> <BR>Thane congrats on having a kick @ss girlfriend, I bet you are as proud as she is.

Great job Erica. Westside rules.

Yeah, I just talked to her on the phone she's pretty stoked. She says to me, "I got a BIG Trophy!" She really focused and worked hard the last couple weeks just for nationals. Looks like it paid off.

congrats Erica! Great Job! <BR> <BR>We will have to ride together some day. <BR> <BR>My wife spells her name the exact same way you do. <BR> <BR>"Erica Burk" except she is not a rider, yet? I'm trying. <BR> <BR>Again congratulations!

She's a ripper! I remember the 1st time I saw her ride at Elsi, it was... Well, let's just say I wasn't wanting to ride, after she finished. <BR> <BR>Congratulations! <BR> <BR>-Blake

Who the hell is Erica Burk? <BR> <BR>

How did I know it was you? "It was hot, milk was probably a bad choice."

way to go Erica, also props to Matt Von der Ahe looks like he will be going on to the finals.

Although I'm not from California, I want to say Congrat's to Erica as well. I got to know and ride with her while she was living in SLC, UT a couple of years ago. <BR> <BR> She's one of the nicest person's I've ever met and I'm very proud of you Erica!

Thane, when we ridin? I'm not too sure about 2 Erica Burk's in the boat at the same time, you? <BR> <BR>You trained her well. Nationals is big my friend. <BR> <BR>Congrats Erica!

Erica, <BR>Congrats !!!! That is awesome. Now we need to get you a job with us and that should top off your year!!!! <BR>Great Job. <BR> <BR>Thane, <BR>Do you know if Erica ever got called for an interview last week? <BR>Thanks

Hell yeah! Congrats Erica!!! The Ol Dixie Skier would be proud a national champ used to session behind her! You ripped a few years ago, can only imagine how much better you've gotten since then. The UT crew is def proud!

Congrats to Erica! Tell me, what does a run by the national amateur women's winner look like?

tantrum, hs backroll, ts backroll, hs 3, ts backroll to revert, couple sick grabs, couple 180's, and a sick taipan grab. <BR> <BR>

i'll second that. excellent question - what was your run erica?

sweet!!!

That sounds like quite a complete run! It is great to see that grabs are still a part of the game... and I'm totally impressed with any girl who does inverts!

Thanks guys!!! I sure appreciate all the props. I want to give props to all the other riders in attendance. I saw a ton of amazing riding there in Wisconsin... Wow!!!

Congratulations Erica.

Erica, <BR> <BR>You are my favorite. Sorry I couldnt be there! I wish I was. Congrats on winning. You definetly deserve it! Love you tons. You need to come visit too....
