This is some rookie class. I don't remember one so strong. You got Adam E getting second and Austin Hair 5th at the Wake Games. Bryon Hutton and Danny Tholander making it through day one. Plus Nick Jones, Robbie Carter (taken down the first round with a nasty switch late alarm clock) and Brett Lee coming up. Kyle Alberts rode pro but will be Jr Men on PWT. Watch out for this guy. Adam also made finals at Pan Am and Board Up Miami. Hair made finals at Pam Am and got 2nd place at one of the Australian Pro Tour Stops. Hair also has take down a few wakeskaiting championships this year (Australian Pro Tour Champion and Pan AM Champion. Adam has gotten a lot of press but I haven't seen anything on these other guys. Alliance had an up and comers and none of these guys were in it. I hope we start seeing some coverage on them.
