sic, rail jams are always so much more fun than video can justify. Looked like just a big party out there.

"who was that brunette on the wakeskate?" - That's Megan McNeil, team rider for Gator - she rips on both a wakeskate and wakeboard.

Mostly pro's...

thanks! i wasn't sure cause a lot of the slides people were doing looked pretty basic and I have no idea what most of those guys look like.

It was cool and it was all basic. Had a good time though.

Mad props to the ladies (McNeil & Lohrmann) hitting that intimidating slider w/ about 5,000 to 8,000 people watching.

The Winch ran like a fine tuned engine. They used it for about 3-4 hours w/out any trouble.

Bliss Sports is having a slider contest in Ybor City, North Side of Tampa. Gator Boards is bringing the Winch and Jimmie Walker is an executive producer. Held Early November called "The Blacktop Brodeo". I believe it is a wakeskate contest. I will let you no for sure when they finish up the fine details.

The coolest thing about that night was that all those people were able to drink all night and everyone got along and looked out for each other.
it is very rare to find that anywhere you go w/ that many people drinking.

Bliss Sports has a whole page dedicated to the 2005 Surf Expo weekend.
