I don't think that is anyway to talk about someone you idolize. I think you want FAMOUS.

I expected Jesse to be a 15 year old girl. I guess I was wrong...

Ok maybe I sound like a desperate schoolgirl but I think the guy is tight and he never gets talked about on her anymore.


Anyways would still love to here more about PB if anyone has got anything.

weird, real weird

what is this world coming to...... I get into this thread and all I see is people bashing Parks!!!!! Seriously be true to this sport. Parks has brought this sport a long way.


Haters

Nobody has really bashed Parks....they have bashed the Parks stalker though...

I would totally stroke PB...no homo

a little................

I want to demo his board this year. Hope he has a BIG come back this year. I have met him a few times and he is hella cool. I thought he might be cocky but he was very nice and talked to us for a long time.

truth........... I hope he tears it up this year

When he gets healthy, i hope parks unleashes like he used to so everyone who hasn't gotten to experience true parks riding gets to see how nuts the guy is. He won or should i say dominated the carnival and was no where near 100%.
Why are people bashing the Parks "stalker". No one bashed the 100 threads on Vandall that popped up.

Pry because this site is full of haters. But thats cool I love haters. People only hate on people who are better than them. Just look at all the posts on Phil Soven. Everyone hates on him because he has more talent in his left toe nail then most have in there whole body...

But this thread is about Parks! so lets keep it up!

I was not bashing the parks stalker. I just thought it was a little gay is all. not that anything is wrong with that....

Ran into Parks in Dallas last weekend. Still rocking the mustache, decked out in full FOX gear. Awesome guy. Talked to him a while, and he was really top notch. He said he is riding a little with the knee, but he walked like it was killing him a little still.

I feel scared.

no naked pics??

Wow now I kinda wish I hadn't looked at this thread . . . . Are you going to kill Parks and wear his skin as a suit ?

^^^

Montgomery- Jesse doesn't have the steady hands or the technology to pull off a procedure like that.

cool dude. met him a few times. real classy dude.

Nobody has bashed parks yet. I just said he looked like a homeless guy in fox gear. Doesn't mean he wasn't a cool guy to talk to and has always been a great ambassator for the sport.

"It puts the lotion on it's skin"

dude are you straight or what? this screams of single white female?!!??

You guys are rediculous... With the 40 million threads started about the Vandall lately and all the groupie love everyone here gives him maybe you parks haters are still in the closet waiting for the Vandall.

hahahaha max that was perfect timing

Cliff, you just made my very crappy day very awesome. Thank you.

And the OP wasn't so much of behaving in an obsessive, fifteen year old groupie manner as he was merely just getting frustrated that somehow, there hasn't been a single topic about Parks Bonifay in quite a while...

WUUURD

ditto Tyler's comment.

DITTO TYLERS COMMENT}}

I didnt know that wakeboard had so many haters. if you want something to hate on look at the tiny thing between your legs.

awww man!! i thought this thread was about peanut butter ;(

haha

I love peanut butter.

second peanut butter

I love lamp. And desk. Peanut butter is so so...
I also like chocolate squirrels...

It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time !!!

"Brick killed a guy. Did you throw a trident? Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident"

well i talked to Shane B at the boat show this weekend and he said parks blew his other knee ,not the one that hes been recovering and that hes reahbbing and should be able to ride this season...

maybe old news but i thought id add it anyway..

I heard the same thing a while back but didn't know if it was true or not . . . . But apparently it is

Why does Jesse want to kill Parks with a trident then wear his skin around as a suit? Then, put his d!<k between his legs like a woman. What's up with that??

Wow.

That link - to his Couterfeit this segment. I don't know what it was about it but it strikes me as one of the best segments of any video I've ever seen.

Got me super pumped. And it's February. And I'm in Massachusetts. Cry!

Amazing video. Thanks for posting.

Parks free riding is always enjoyable. I also am continually impressed with his rail riding. He is always pushing the limits of what can be done with rails.

Chris I'm pretty sure I just pee'd my pants a little

Here's a shot i took from the Parks' Double or Nothing....


p.s. Parks is the shiz!

We talked to PB at the LA Show this weekend, he'll be riding this season.

Dang!!! Thats a sweet double or nothing pic!!!! What kind of tricks was he going for there???

I believe that was a pete rose..

or a peat 5 ha hes sick

kyle thats one of the sickest sections ever! i remember when i first got counterfit this i couldnt stop watching parks and murray, something about those classic songs makes wakeboarding that much more epic.

riley that might be one of the sickest shots ever! Parks has a sick looking decal/board setup

That re-entry hit was ridic.

alliance has got a new story on PB and the documentary hes making for anyone who cares!

Cliff: "puts the lotion on the skin" and your "better than Mclovin" in the Fake ID thread comment's awesome, had me rollin, Keep it up love it

Saw him yesterday at the SLC boat show, he put his hands on my boys head and blessed him with skills. (just look how happy the boy is) By the way his new bindings look sick.

Parks has the most raw talent of anybody ever to strap on a board. I remember once at one of the early Wakeboarding mag team challenges back in Orlando, probably 10+ years ago or something. They were looking for something completely different, so they essentially ran a head-to-head boardercross format behind PWCs around an obstacle course. Mind you, this was before people were doing wakeskating or rail jibs, and PWCs still were pretty much the enemy of wakeboarders, so most riders were not used to them. Most riders that day were struggling with the novel format, and there were lots of frustration and pissed off feelings, as many of the regular contest champions were out of their element.

Anyway, PB got whipped too hard around an outside turn and so he passed the PWC. He started to sink down, which would have caused him to pop the handle when the PWC caught back up, and his team would have lost.

Completely improvised, he somehow pulled an ole surface 720, which by some miracle kept him above the surface of the water until the line got tight when the PWC finally caught up with him, and he rode it out. It was fricking unbelievable. At that moment I realized this kid was the chosen one. Total spaz later in the parking lot (like 16 or something at the time?), but not at all arrogant, almost seemed shy and maybe even a touch insecure in a way, way back then. It's been fun for an old timer like me to watch him grow up.

Tina Bessinger was driving... Parks won that thing for LF!

By the way, that was by far the most dangerous event I ever witnessed...

What do you expect, a woman driver. By the way, she's expecting her 1st child in about 6 months.

We saw Parks at the LA boat show a couple of weeks ago. My husband bought me the Ronix Coy board and boots from Parks. He is the most down to earth pro we have ever met! He said he is riding again but he has also been spending a lot of time promoting his company Ronix. He seems happy and totally pumped to get back out there. He is a super cool guy. Rob I love the picture of your little boy with Parks. He looks so excited. Our son Dylan is 3 months old and he kept smiling and laughing at Parks. Who knows maybe both will be the next big thing.

Ryan, I knew somebody on here would remember that event! I had forgot Tina was driving, heck I didn't even remember that Parks was riding for you guys at that time. Those were the days. You are so right, that whole contest was pretty crazy.

I was the guy that got 2nd that day, our team (Stinger) hadn't been beat during that whole thing and we got screwed when Marie dumped the handle coming out of the water in the finals. By the way Ryan, that was the most dangerous thing, especially when Gator and Bruce collided. I still have that WBM issue somewhere, I think it was in 1998. That weekend was fun as hell though!

And yea, Parks did come up with some crazy "save" around the turns at Mach 1, it was insane especially with the 20+feet of slack in the line he probably had! I dont think Parks was riding for them, he was on his own at that time like a "free agent" Ryan and I think Brannon and Tina picked him up because Gregg didn't want to do it. (I think....it was 10 years ago!)

Man, you guys are killing me! Stinger! I had those hi-wrap bindings, those were great! And Marie Botved... Now I really feel old!

I remember that issue. Parks was like a free agent and then after that (next issue or two) was the first sequence of him doing the double half cab roll on a Best board with Hyperlite Hiback boots. Old school. Then he got signed to FM shortly thereafter, Then they filmed Shafted which IMO was the sickest section of all time. Parks liked triple ups for awhile.

Parks has been my hero from the beginning

Agreed!!! PARKS is such a man!!!

Speaking of back in the day... We had Parks and Zane Schwenk on our house boat for a few hours during 1998 Boardstock... We had some strippers from LA, and I have a picture of Parks and Schwenk with a stripper on our boat.. I believe Parks was 16, 17, or 18 (underage and still traveling with his parents at least) at the time, and his mom came and got him off of our boat.. Parks was a little bit embarrased from what I remember, and of course did not want to leave... Parks mom also new one of the guys on our boat (forget his name off hand, but he was from socal and the son of some guy that owns a famous ski school there): she ripped him for allowing Parks on our boat.

Anyways good times... If anybody is reading this and remembers 98 boardstock, and the house DJ getting the sh*t knocked out of him with the balloon or the bond fire exploiding.. That was our house boat on the stealth balloon launcher that night...

Also if Parks is reading this thread, I did not mean to embarrasse you with writing about your mom coming to get you, but it was funny at the time.. LOL


Thank you,

BS! I'll need to see the photographic proof of that story.

dude come out of the closet already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Oops!!! I just reread that... I did not mean with the stripper as in getting down and dirty.. I just meant all three standing together smiling for the Camara, but I believe the lady was topless... Anyways, I would have to dig it up, and photoshop the chic for posting here...

I'm sure Parks remembers it...

Thanks,

Are you talking about atlanta or shasta???

that sounds like Shasta to me. Of course, all of the boardstocks back then were pretty crazy.

I remember the magazine article on that contest. classic stuff. I believe that was after the "freeride" contest that Mike Weddington won. "Randy" Harris was like 14 when he rode in that. rockin the double ender.

I'm talking about Shasta...

Yeah 98 Boardstock was one of the craziest weekends I've ever had. We had a huge houseboat that slept like 18 people, and it was almost filled.. The weekend cost me like $200 including food and beer.. 98 was the first one I went to, and I had no idea what to expect.. We left the dock thursday evening and arrived about 2 1/2 hours later at the entrance to the bay which was blocked off until the next morning... I awoke the next morning and our houseboat was in line for entrance along with at least another hundred boats (thats right: a line of boats).. We got the prime spot right in front of where the bonfire would be, and the nightly festivities. The riders would be pulled right by our boat within 20 yards (prime location).

The Bert Werks houseboat landed right next to us with a full DJ setup with like 6 foot high concert stacks (unbelieveble). That first night in our spot I passed out for a few hours in my bunk; I was awakened by my friend who was telling me to get up because I was not going to believe it: of course I can hardly hear my friend because the Bert Werks sound system is going... I walk out the back of the houseboat and there is a sea of inboard boats, I look to the side, and the Bert Works houseboat's back platform is almost under water... I come out from the 2nd story over hang to look up, and there are at least 200 - 300 people hanging, standing, and dancing on the Bert Werks boat. Within 30 minutes of getting up Bert Werks called it quits because there houseboat was sinking... Saturday and Sunday mornings the Bert Werks boat would wake up the entire bay with that camp wakeup call from the movie meatballs.

One of the funniest things I ever saw was that friday afternoon drinking and watching the bay be filled up with side by side houseboats one of the Guys; who was wearing a yellow football helmet with no face shield and read "Stupid" took a swim about 30 - 40 yrds out right into the shipping lane.. A houseboat that never saw him came cruising by; he grabs one of the long as morring ropes in the front; it comes loose, and he gets left behind hanging on to the rope.. Everyone on this houseboat is in the front of the boat looking for places to beach, and no one sees him... All of our boats are of course cheering stupid on.. After the slack catches up stupid is being pulled by the houseboat like a skier; he James Bond style pulls his way up the rope to the houseboat, climbs on board, and runs thru the houseboat to the front wearing his helmet, runs right by the 10 people in the front and dives off the bow to swim back to us... Those people never had any clue even to this day where stupid came from.. I cant imagine how shocked they were and the stories they tell of 98 Boardstock...

I could write for hours about the events that happened that weekend.. By far the craziest weekend ever, and could not have been better...

Thanks,

Ken, wasen't that the year some guy had a pontoon boat all decked out Jimmy Buffet style and had the margertta machine cranking out Margs all day to his swim up bar. 97, 98, & 99 all good years. Fun times.

Holy S**T Ken. That brought back some memories!

To me Boardstock died the day it left Shasta...

On a bright note, Brostock in Powel is bringing the party back... you should check it out!
