Ask him
How do you like your 136 press model compared to your signiture series while riding behind the boat?

Do you prefer to keep your behind the boat board stiff and have your rail board be flex, or is flex something you want to incorportate into your next signiture series?

Is he in favor of the a new (Aussi style) pro scoring system and does he think it will help riders like himself, Lyman, Randall etc. with more empheses on going big with style and making some of the non-tech tricks look good.

Josh, I think it levels the playing field for sure, but there are some riders that won't like it.

How much influence do you get with when helping design some of the new Jetpilot clothing, and if he has any other ideas of stuff he would like to put out.

Do you feel bad about calling out aaron aubry in wbm a few yrs back? How was it getting to hang for a day with him and the west coast crew?

ask Shane!!

i guess along similar lines as soli, I guess i'm more curious if he regrets how the tone of the profile came off (it was actually in the canadian wakeboarding magazine, and not WakeBoarding magazine), and if he felt any sort of backlash from it (whether that be in the industry in general or from fans)? People on here were kind of wound up because there seems to be a lot of loyalty towards aaron, and there were some interesting critiques in that piece that weren't necessarily limited to riders.

shane is an amazing rider...... but his ads are starting to look wack. the new jet pilot ads look worse than the sears shady eminem ads.

Does he still think the tequilla in Mexico, still tastes like water? Then why was he praying to the porcelain throne an hour later, during the filming of Wide Awake!

Ask Shane how it feels to be the greatest slider slayer to have ever lived?

Ask him if it is hard to ride in the shadow of Parks?

(teamvaldez) · (teamvaldez) **Join Date: Apr 2003** 04-07-2008, 8:22 AM

Rich, I don't think Shane rides in the shadow of Parks. Shane casts a shadow far greater than his physical height.

(waterdork88) · (waterdork88) **Join Date: Aug 2005** 04-07-2008, 9:00 AM

yeah i dont think he rides in his brother's shadow. shane's and park's style are completely differenet. i havent seen parks land any ts bs 7s or do a nose press anything like shane. and i havent seen shane do a 10 or a double mobe.

i think shane is currently bringing more to the sport

(denverd1)
