MTV Tonight

I think tonight is the night for made into a wakeboarder.

Yes it is.

WHat time is it on?

9pm Central, It will feature Rilys Ebert a CWB Team rider and a girl from his school who picked him to teach her to wakeboard. Should be good.

I think it's 10 Pacific.

10 ET, 7 PT

Yes 10 pacific sounds correct

I think it's 7pm Pacific if you have Satellite.

i just checked mtv.com and it said 10 pm ET/PT....so im not too sure if that means its 10 on the east coast or pacific...but im pretty sure its 10 on the east coast cuz thats where im from and i used to be able to watch it after i got out of work at 9. also, on mtv.com it said tonights episode was about mary who wants to be made into a cheerleader. i didnt see anything about the wakeboarding

Yeah, I forgot to mention that's on satellite. I keep forgetting that I'm "abnormal."

Dave, you're not abnormal, you're just *smart*

The cheerleading one was last week so wakeboarding should be today.

I just checked, east coast time is 10 pm.
And it's wakeboarding.

Thanks for the heads-up chris smith!

I thought it was supposed to be some from Gator Boards?

no prob.

aight, I'm hella lost. I just get regular MTV (not satellite), will I still get to watch this? And does anyone know for sure what time it plays in CA (pacific)? Seems like there are a lot of different times people are stating... thanks

10pm here as well

i gotta see this. thank god i have an exam tonight, i get to go home early and'll be able to catch it.

this is going to be a learning experience for all of us...hooray mtv.

This could be the first time since beevis and butthead that mtv has had something worth watching!

hey, jackass was good and so was........ummmmm thst's it. so you're half right. ;)}

I enjoy the videos...direct effect,sucka free sundays but I guess it's more MTV2 and MTV hits and MTV jams.

Man I'm loving my new cable...all these video channals.

Comcast in Stockton CA is 10 pm

Sweet! This should be cool.

this girl is redonkulous....... but at least she made cookies!... ahhh its back on gotta go!

Damnit, my ex girlfriend calls me at work and says, "There is a girl wakeboarding on MTV!!" I'm stuck and can't watch it, stupid Cardinals/Astros game, no one wants to change the channel.

pretty good the chick is better than 90% of the chicks i have seen ride. w2w with an indy grab

i just watched it and its not too great. its more about this chick trying to get a boyfriend and fit in than wakeboarding.

that girl sucked... at least it made be laugh

That was retarded

I heard a few statments in there that were riduculous.. including the following....
"I feel like a real wakeboarder now.... I cant wait to go back to school"
No wakeboarders including me have said something like that!

im completly depressed.. shes learned more in four weeks than i have in four years..

forget the boy, they shouldve showed more riding...

It just ended and I have got to say, it's great our sport got some national exposure on MTV but I personally don't think it portrayed our sport very well. I'd prefer to see our exposure in a little different light. I wasn't that impressed, but then again it was on MTV. Don't get me wrong, glad to see our sport in the spotlight. I just think that you could get the wrong impression about our sport from that show and that girl. She was a little ditzy and immature. Hopefully people don't stereo type wakeboarders with that impression in mind! I think our sport needs more national attention in a better format, that's all I'm saying.

I think that was more wakeboarding coverage than the X-games gives us... pretty foolish girl but its cool she learned w2w, dont know many (any?) girls that can do that in my area

I was hoping for the first wakeboarding commercial. I guess Hyperlite and Gator didnt have enough to shell up for MTV :-( It was pretty entertaining though The Barbasol sportn was the best.

SHE DID GOOD FOR ONLY RIDING 4 WEEKS OF RIDING...

hated it. and riley sucks.

The girl was an idiot. If they thought she could do a tantrum after 4 weeks I wanna be made too!

She took second place away from someone that might have deserved it more.... thats all I was pissed about! At the same time though... good for her! Wakeboarding helped her grow and mature..

I haven't seen a made episode where someone wanted to be made for their own satisfaction. It was always because they were trying to get someone else to like them. lame.

10/19/2005, 10p.m. PST-Made-wakeboard-MTV
Set my DVR to record it.

i wanna be made into a music producer and be the next dame dash-

that aside, i though she did well. I wish I could learn w2w in 4 weeks. Hell, I wish I could learn w2w period. As mentioned in a previous post, she was a bit immature, but hey, she is still in high school- Just glad it wasn't about tap dancing or cheerleading. There was one a while back about BMX that was pretty cool.

Tivo Set

It needed more wakeboarding and less drama. The amount of actual riding she did was like half of the amount of crying and saying things like "those kids are so cool and rich and i'll never fit in with them". But I guess you really have to blame the editors for that, not the girl.

I wasted 15 minutes and then changed the channel

I'm at "work" babysitting a building on campus, and had to miss it, but it sounds like the episode was nothing special anyway... anyway, gotta get back to getting paid to study.

"Sometimes when I get nervous, I stick my hands in my armpits and then smell them like this" Nuff said

yeah. there is too much drama, i'm watching it now.

At least they don't make it look easy. She has taken some hard falls learning to go W2W.

gawd this sucks, this hurts me as a person, and a wakeboarder. cant stand MTV...

she needs to un spaz just a bit.

there was some good footage of riding, but all the "don't have a tantrum." drama was THUPER!

No way was she ready for a Tantrum. That was a joke.

yeah, that was obviously put in there for drama effect.

I did not watch it, but my wife said the wakeboard pro/instructor-guy came off looking like a poser a-hole. She's hung with numerous pros from both wake and snow, and generally she has nice things to say about people, so I'm wondering what was up with this guy. Not like I'll lose any sleep over it, but it's too bad if that is the impression that is left upon the mainstream audience.

That Riley dude looked pretty good. Her tantrum attemps were better than mine I havent even attempted it yet.......

I don't know what you folks thought, but that riley guy was as ditzy as the high school girl, props to the girl for taking the abuse that she did,mentally and physically, and you know she did...Hey, this is a tough sport. It's all or nothing, she should be given props for giving it a 100%.. She cleaned the head for christ sakes! Enough said!

That chick sucked. She reminded me of the girl the girl on Deuce Bigalo with terets(sp?). And no way she gave 100%. She would not even try the tantrum after se fell a few times. But it is cool to see the sport get some props.

Now that I have Fuel channel... MTV can kiss my ass. All their shows suck. PS. If I hear "stoked" or "amped" from one more poser wanna be wakeboarder, I'm gonna... keep being annoyed.

I was stoked to see wakeboarding on national tv. Actually, I'm still amped over the whole thing.

I thought it was pretty good. It was about her being made into a more confident person as well as a wakeboarder. I was amazed at how much confidence it gave her and how fast she picked it up. I thought it was a good show.

who was the pro? billy g or somethin. who the heck is that? nice boat though

I thought using the Texas INT competition was good for our sport. If you had another high school kid in the same boat, they may not be as scared to give wakeboarding a try. Nobody likes to lose and embarass themselves. The chick showed that you can learn to ride and compete in a short period of time and not be a gifted athlete.

Hopefully she will stick with it and compete againg next year in the INT. It would be a good follow-up for MTV, benefit the sport, and benefit the INT.

Between switching back and forth from that crap and the Cardinals getting their butt handed to them, the night was a total waste. The only saving grace was I only watched about 20 minutes of the wakeboarding soap opera. Right up until she made some cookies for Riley. That's what I'm thinking a 15-16 year old boy wants, cookies.

Don't forget that girl is in high school. Hate to pull a Dr phil---but isn't that what most high schoolers wanna do is fit it. Take a look back at half the stupid s_it you did in high school....you were tryin to fit in, weather you think that or not, your tryin to fit in.
Bill Garcia is a pro rider based out of Austin, Texas...He has a wakeboard school down there.

For only 4 weeks of riding, and learning all those tricks (including w2w with grabs) THE GIRL DID AWESOME! She has never done any water or board sports before. Don't diss her, SHE DID AWESOME!

Billy G (Garcia) is one of the local pros and instructors here in Austin. Ive been out with him and took my family out for a weeks worth of instruction with him. Hes a great down to earth guy and I have no problems telling anybody else that if they wanted to get lessons, they could do much worse than going to his school.

I laughed the whole way through it, but thats because I know Billy, Monique and Bianca (the dog). MTV, being MTV, probably took what made things look the best for their target viewers (15-18yr old kids) and edited it that way. So its unfortunate that we saw tons of 'riley' drama.

But, still cool for her to pull a W2W indy in just 4 weeks. Ive been riding for just over a year now and finnaly got my grabs down sollid this summer.

Did anyone notice that dog with everywhere?

By the way, I just checked the Texas INT site and according to their stop standings .... Joan came in third out of three, not second. hmmmm....

I don't know why most seem to be so down on this girl. I think she did awesome for the short amount of time that she had to prepare.
Paul, who said she got second at the expense of some other girl? For riding in Novice and seeing what she did, i think second place was legit. The good thing about our sport is that it helps people gain confidence which can transfer over into other aspects of their lives. Seeing her in the beginning i thought, this girl is a spaz but by the end yu could tell that she handled herself much better. And she definately dressed better.
My $.02

I like how they were posted at one point in front of the Krown bus talking. And you could see the wheels spinning. haha they keep spinnin!

Ronia -

The dog is Bianca (Moniques dog). She does take it everywhere. Ive even seen her dye it pink !

I fully agree with Matthew. So what if she learned confidence on national TV? Wakeoarding has certainly helped my confidence level in other aspects. I guarantee if I was filmed at 15 I'd be a zillion times dorkier then Joan was at first.

im with Matt you guys who are down on her dont remember how it really was first starting out..she did great ,actually she did more then great she had more pressure IE cameras,coaches,friends and haters watching her every step while learning and in 5 weeks came in second under pressure at a contest..she definitly can be considered a wakeboarder now..at her rate by the end of her first season she could probrably hit a tantrum and a spin even if she doesnt shes doing better now then some who have been riding a more then a year......

..... Yea Matt and the rest are right. Maybe it was jealousy?!!! Maybe I was mad it was on MTV?!!! Who knows, she did good! I do however get the vibe still that she wont continue, she just didn't seem that intrested in wakeboarding for wakeboarding.

Was anyone else disturbed about the trucker hat pulled to the side?

No one has mentioned the assault upon the little lamb! I felt so badly for her when they spray painted her pet; I felt badly for Lamb Chop too!!

I wondered if the so-called rich kids that talked to her, talked to her for her or talked to her just to get on MTV. (like the girl with the jetski and the hunky boy)

Its too bad that a crap show like that will be the only time wakeboarding is seen on MTV for a while if not ever. The chick was descent for only riding for a couple of weeks, but that was overshadowed by the corny "I don't fit in with that crowd" subplots. grade: d-

hey i used to wear my trucker hat to the side ..it was in last year or year before so there !
