I didn't see it but it sounds like it exposed a "core" audience to wakeboarding. Maybe it will influence programmers to show more of it.

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

Nope! But you've got pretty eyes!

If she is a wakeboarder now, why hasn't she posted on here yet?

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

Girls carry these little dogs everywhere as a fashion accessory, not a pet. Annoying.

Thank Paris Hilton for another useless cultural contribution.

Im amazed at how many of you dont think the show was scripted.

(wakeboardnchica)

I missed the show last night, but it doesn't sound like I missed much. I've been riding for almost 2 yrs. and still haven't nailed my w2w, so it sounds like she picked up on the sport pretty quick. You guys should check out FUEL TV. The PULL episodes have been the most watched shows lately Alliance said. Maybe because they show our sport how it is; no fake drama attached.

Did anyone actually think she was going to land a tantrum? I think they should've taught her a 180 first...

(fubar) · (fubar) **Join Date: Apr 2002** 10-20-2005, 3:54 PM

I thought she might have landed a tantrum - there was that one chick on another Made episode that landed a bmx back flip. Of course, practicing into a foam pit on the bike is much closer to the real trick than practicing on a trampoline with the handle, as you don't have all the other factors, like the kick off the wake, moving at 22mph, etc.

I think you looked at the day before

Mike B (fubar) It's funny how people find BS to point out and bitch about that they don't know anything about. Moni had Bianca way before the stupid "simple life" show and treats her as her child not an accessory.

get over it... the show was on Mtv, it was about a kid that didn't fit in, she found a common bond with the people she goes to school with, she picked it up very fast (they only rode three days a week), and most important she feels better about herself.

Over all it was a good thing for the industry. It was by far the longest wakeboarding segment I've seen on any mainstream channel.

jeff 2 (waterdog2) stop being so paranoid and looking over your shoulder for black helicopters (just kidding) there were some small "creative influences" by the producer but it's not totally scripted. Sometimes they would tell BG to "say that again, but say it like this" & as far as Joan goes... that was all Joan.

although I did wonder if the kids at LT spray painted the goat or Mtv did to create drama... lol

as far as her sticking with it... so far we've seen her go ride at the Texas Ski Ranch with some buddies and she went to a couple of comps by herself as well. I think she'll keep riding. You all know, Once you start you can't stop!!!

Thanks Stone.

People need to realize that the show was geared for Mtv's high school demographics. Made is a show about high schoolers who don't fit in and MTV helps them accomplish something which makes them feel better about themselves. The show isn't about wakeboarding, or whatever other sports the kids want to be made into.

I was thoroughly impressed with Joan being able to go w2w with grabs in just 4 weeks! It took me (and many other riders) two years to do that.

msinger 10-23-2005, 1:28 AM

I dont want to take anything away from Joan, because she did awesome for only riding 5 weeks, But did anyone else think it was wierd thats she said she felt better because she had a "wakeboard haircut"

Iwas at the int stop I hang wikth billy g and mtvs hand is involvedmore than most peaaaple will know she did well but i dont see her sticking with it. and you think that posers say stoked alot that girl used it every other wordit was a bit much

I'm just relieved to see the cocked trucker hat and the mandatory "can't ever take a picture without flashing some sort of pseudo gang-sign hand signal." Man, that's real wakeboarding for me!! Never gets old!!

(BTW, I live in Oakland. The gangs here actually don't flash a lot of hand signals. They are more busy robbing and shooting people. For every real gang member I've seen flashing a hand sign, I've probably seen 1000 or more teenage suburban middle-upper class kids doing it. I'm just not really understanding this any more.)

Sorry to get off topic. On with the fashion and conformity, er... I mean wakeboarding.

(wakeboardnchica)

She did good for only riding for 5 weeks, but the hair thing was weird. lol. You don't need "wakeboarding hair" to be a wakeboarder.

alright. she might have gotten second. But i happen to be good friends with Nick Gregory and he's definitley a guy. The kid goes to McNeese State and can rip a wake aprt like nobodies business. i dont know how or why he's on the womens novice list. he usually rides advanced or outlaw. but its funny to see his name on there.

(bendow) · (bendow) **Join Date: Sep 2005** 10-26-2005, 6:02 PM

I don't see how some of you could criticize her. she got up her first try. (on the show monique said she's never seen anyone do that before) I've been out with some friends who are very athletic and they couldn't even get up their first day let alone first try.

if I were her I would of made Riley some pot brownies, she would have definitly fit in...

(dudeman) · (dudeman) **Join Date: Mar 2005** 10-26-2005, 7:32 PM

I think Monique was giving her a vote of confidence saying she's never seen anyone get up on the first try before. I have never not gotten up including the first try and I'm an old ass peep. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. My first year was probably just stubborness and pure strength without any technique, but it didn't seem that hard. Never even shot out to the outside of the wake which I've heard is common with beginners.

(fly135) · (fly135) **Join Date: Jun 2004** 10-28-2005, 7:56 AM

Getting up on the first try is not the norm. I've seen young strong athletic guys struggle to to get to the point of frustration. And at the same time I've seen not nearly so athletic females pop right up after 1 or 2 tries.

In my experience girls seem to have the edge on the initial try, but the guys make up for lost ground pretty quickly thereafter.

(bendow) · (bendow) **Join Date: Sep 2005** 10-28-2005, 2:38 PM

I hope my gf can do it (i just bought her the double up serina) she's tried it at the cables and couldn't do it, she's only tried once there. hopefully she'll be able to get it behind the boat.

(wakeboardnchica)

I got my first time. I didn't stay up too long, but I got up.

longlakemafia 10-29-2005, 12:52 PM

I dont think getting up has as much to do with athletic ability as is does with the driver...and the one teaching...the teaching is a huge thing...i was blessed enough to start behind an xstar and have a dude that shredded teach me everything...going wake to wake and grabbing within 5 weeks isnt hard to do when you have a teacher as pumped about teaching you as he is about ridding...

(joeshmoe) · (joeshmoe) **Join Date: Jan 2003** 10-29-2005, 6:07 PM

maybe she got up on her first try because of the majic of television

who ever said you had to post on this website to be "into" the wakeboarding scene? i know a ton of people who love wakeboarding who dont post on here. its just something she doesnt do

(nikki) · (nikki) **Join Date: May 2004** 10-31-2005, 9:32 AM

Guys have a harder time getting up on the first try because you all try to use all your muscles instead of just relaxing and letting the boat pull you up.

What up! Hey this is Joan, the wakeboarding chick on MTV. Yeah, I found this bulletin by accident and it was a lil weird reading all of yall's comments...

(bendow) · (bendow) **Join Date: Sep 2005** 11-23-2005, 6:14 AM

joan do you still wakeboard? is your sister pissed that you got made and she didn't? you should come try out the cable lake at TSR (I think thats where the girl took you to get some gear)

(wakeboardnchica)

They didn't let you keep the board??? That's crap!

flojo 11-23-2005, 10:28 AM

lol!!! Dude... I totally went to TSR!! It was freakin awesome!! Riley and I went on a "date" there you could say lol!!! Yup, got all the clothes at TSR!!! LOOOVVEEE THEM!!

Ya, the board thing sorta sucked!!! Gator sent that board for me on the show, but my director did it her own way. I wasn't too pissed that I don't have it now just because I didn't know that I was supposed to keep it. Now that I know that....ugh, sorta sux lol!! But its in good hands now lol!! Billy G. has the board at his riding school here in Austin. Its good to know that some other girl is going to learn how to wakeboard with that board.

One day when my director wasn't filming on the boat, Monique, Billy G., and I went riding. I got my first heel side w2w indy on the Gator Board!! It was soo sick!!! ...and none of it was on camera lol!!!!

Have a happy turkey day!!
