Where's Chad Sharpe

(andrew_moreton)

Where is Chad Sharpe in the top ten male riders? Brian Grubb made the top ten male wakeboarders and doesn't even wakeboard. Anyone who has seen Chad's video sections knows he deserves to be in the top ten.

I think somehow Byerly got his spot. I agree though.

Actually, if you compare it to last year's results, you'll see that Andrew Adkison took Sharpe's spot.

Having the wakeskaters in there causes an interesting dilemma that we'll probably have to deal with next year. The main category has always been the top ten "riders," which could include wakeskaters and wakeboarders. Then we added the wakeskating category on top of that. Perhaps we should change the main category to the top ten "wakeboarders." Obviously, somebody like Brian Grubb would most likely not appear in that top ten, but would have a shot at the top wakeskater position.

Chad Sharpe was actually in the 11th position, so that would have put him back in the top ten. Let me know what you think.

Since there are now a bunch of riders that only wakeskate it makes sense to have separate categories. Only if someone does both wakeboarding and wakeskating regularly should they be listed in both categories.

Chad really stepped it up this year and deserved to be in the top 10.
